Defend Them All has advanced groundbreaking reform on complex issues ranging from pesticides to companion animal cruelty and endangered species protection by: supporting advocates defending animals and their habitats at a local level; offering educational opportunities for students in animal and environmental law and policy; and developing work product that informs and strengthens advocacy initiatives.



We recognize that meaningful, long-lasting reform is a marathon, not a sprint; all our initiatives begin with a detailed analysis of existing rules, root causes of a problem, and locality-specific challenges. We ask difficult questions, explore complexities, expose corruption and keep decision-makers accountable to animals and their habitats, to empower more informed strategy and systemic change.



When advocates need help isolating a problem, understanding law and policy, targeting decision makers, and navigating bureaucracy, we empower them with knowledge and personalized strategies to help maximize their efforts. Our advocacy initiatives prioritize opportunities to approach complex animal welfare causes at a local level and contribute to broader conversations. Whe
