Ask your representatives to support H.R. 1024: The Humane and Existing Alternatives in Research and Testing Sciences Act of 2022 (“HEARTS Act of 2022”). This bill would amend the Public Health Service Act to ensure that nonanimal methods are prioritized where applicable and feasible.

Tell the NIH that enriching private industry at the expense of nonhuman and human wellbeing is unacceptable, and that the M.D. Anderson chimpanzees should be moved to sanctuary at once.

The Cold-blood Animal Research and Exhibition (CARE) Act (H.R. 9571) would amend the Animal Welfare Act's ("AWA") definition of “animal” to include cold-blooded animals. If you think cephalopods, fish, amphibians, and reptiles should have some protections under federal law, speak up now.

Urge your legislators to support the FDA Modernization Act 3.0, which would end the outdated requirement for animal testing in drug development and promote modern, human-relevant methods.

The Senate’s current 2025 Labor, Health, and Human Services appropriations bill includes an alarming $30 million allocation for nonhuman primate experimentation infrastructure. Deny this misuse of taxpayer dollars now!

You can help protect animals like Teddy and Ellie! Urge your elected officials to support state-level “Beagle Bills”, which provide some protections for dogs and cats bred and sold for animal research.

Urge your U.S. Representative to defund foreign animal laboratories by supporting the CARGO Act, a bill positioned to reduce harm to animals, save animals’ lives, support more ethical science, and save American tax dollars.

The animal testing industry goes to great lengths to keep everything that they're doing hidden. Please tell your senators to support S. 778, the Cost Openness and Spending Transparency (COST) Act. This bill would require public disclosure of the total cost to taxpayers for every project supported with federal funds.

Send a message to the University of Washington Board of Regents demanding they stop conducting invasive research on animals, and instead opt for modern-day, evidence-based research methods that benefit humans without harming living, feeling beings.
