Humane World Action Fund, formerly Humane Society Legislative Fund, is a leader in the animal protection movement, fighting for political and policy changes to tackle the root causes of animal cruelty and suffering.
Established in 2004 as the political affiliate of the Humane Society of the United States—now called Humane World for Animals—we act to end animal cruelty by passing animal protection laws at the state and federal levels, educating the public about animal protection issues and supporting humane candidates for office.
Animals play an important role in the lives of many Americans. Countless citizens look to their government to protect animals from cruel treatment and exploitation. Humane-minded individuals care deeply about the positions their elected officials take on animal protection issues.
We are currently evaluating candidates for our endorsement in the upcoming election. The Action Fund evaluates candidates on their position on animal protection and their electability. We do not judge candidates on their party affiliation or any other issue.
To seek our endorsement, we ask candidates to complete our questionnaire and return it to info@humaneaction.org. Questionnaires are reviewed on a rolling basis and our endorsements are published here.
