Don Lichterman welcomes the Ocean Clean Up to the Sustainable Action Network (SAN), the Flying Fur Animal Rescue organization to the SAN Rescue Network, the 2018 Political Humane Scorecard and that SAN is taking on causes such as the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Conservation & Management Act along with closing out all Victories & Successes that culminated of late!

We have launched our 2018 election site, and as a loyal HSLF supporter we want to make sure you're the first to know!

At the Humane Society Legislative Fund, we know that solving many of the systemic problems facing animals today depends on passing animal protection legislation at the federal level. But, in order to do that, it is critical that we elect humane-minded candidates to office. Without legislative allies and advocates, it will be ever harder to defend pets from cruelty and abuse, replace the use of animals in cosmetics and other chemical testing, improve welfare standards for farm animals, expand protections for wildlife, end the slaughter of American horses, and more.

Our new election site features an easily searchable list of humane candidates, allowing you to see who we’ve endorsed in your area based on their records and pledged support for future pro-animal initiatives.

As a friend of HSLF, you already know about our annual Humane Scorecard, which rates legislators based on their records in office. Our election site is intended to serve as an easy and informative supplemental resource to find out more about the candidates running to represent you in Congress. Whether they’re longtime legislators or new to politics, our site features candidate-specific information on the issue you care most about: animal protection.

This is a particularly critical election for animals, so it’s important that we turn out to the polls to support those who have expressed a willingness to join in the fight. Right now, we have a number of important bills pending in Congress—like the Humane Cosmetics Act, the Pet and Women Safety (PAWS) Act, and the Prevent Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act, to name a few—and we need to build the ranks of champions who will be the voice for animals on the floors of the House and Senate.

Remember, you hold the power to make sure humane candidates get into Congress and stay there. Please check out our new site and use it when you go to the polls November 6!
