? We're not asking for donations for AAC this Giving Season

This Giving Tuesday, we made a unique decision at AAC. Instead of seeking donations, we're reaching out to you about something more profound.

The farmed animal advocacy movement is struggling for funding, in a way that requires much more than seasonal donations.?

Despite over 99.6% of animals used and killed being farmed animals, these organisations receive only 0.8% of all animal charity donations.

But we can change this if we all unite and take action. Together, we can make a significant impact and create a world where animals are free from suffering.

What can you do?

1. Reflect on how you can support animals over your career ??

Reflect on this question today: Would you commit to donating a small percentage of your income for animals throughout your career? Whether it's 1% or 10%, any contribution within your means makes a meaningful impact.

2. Register to get more info ???

Be a part of our upcoming campaign by leaving your registration of interest here. As one of the first to join, you'll receive crucial information at the campaign launch, as well as resources to guide and support you, so that you can be a pioneer in this movement. Your registration will also help us gauge interest in this vital cause.

3. Spread awareness ???

Do you have friends or family who care about animals? Let them know about the challenges faced by farmed animals, and how they can make a difference. You can start by sharing this newsletter with them.

What individuals who committed to donating for animals say

Felix and Alex have both pledged a portion of their income to support animal charities. Here's what they want to share.

?

P.S. While we encourage your support for your chosen charity this Giving Season, registering your interest with us ensures you'll receive guidance on being an even more active donor in the coming year and beyond. Every commitment counts.
