Last week, our Executive Director, Ben Williamson sat down with our Senior Director of Legal Advocacy, Piper Hoffman, to pull back the curtain on what really happens after our investigators leave factory farms.
The energy from our webinar attendees was electric—our supporters’ questions pushed us deeper into the complexities of using law as a tool for liberation.
When we explained how companies profit by shifting their true costs onto animals, taxpayers, and consumers, the chat exploded. People get it. The system is rigged, but we’re changing the game.
- Our Alderfer Farm case: Drone footage became our smoking gun.
- Martin Farms: We’re setting new precedents.
- Proposition 12: Still standing strong, thanks in part to our intervention in the courts.
Yes, we’re abolitionists at heart. But every welfare case we win isn’t just about reducing suffering today—it’s about building the legal foundation for tomorrow’s revolution. History shows us that legal advocacy has always been the backbone of social justice movements. Animals deserve nothing less.
The recording from our webinar is now live for those ready to dive deeper into how we’re reshaping animal protection in courtrooms nationwide. This isn’t your typical nonprofit update—this is a movement in motion.
We’re not just imagining a different future—we’re legally mandating it.
