At Rise for Animals, every day is about standing up for animals suffering in labs. But National Animal Rights Day gives us a unique moment to connect with a growing global movement — one that says loud and clear: animals deserve rights, protection, and freedom.
This day is a chance to amplify the voices of the animals hidden from view: the ones trapped in cold, sterile cages, experimented on in the name of “science,” and silenced by powerful institutions and systems determined to maintain the status quo.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to speak out, to take action, or to deepen your impact for lab victims — this is it.
Here are six powerful ways you can make a difference for animals in labs right now:
TELL CONGRESS TO SHUT IT DOWN
Urge your legislators to pass the SPARE Act. It takes 30 seconds or less to speak up, and it could save millions of lives.

Education is power. Join an upcoming virtual event to arm yourself with the facts. Then, use them to mobilize others.
➡ Check out upcoming virtual events!TAKE IT TO THE STREETS
Protests are happening all across the U.S. and beyond, giving you opportunities to make your support for lab victims impossible to ignore.

The animal research industry says it tortures animals for your benefit. That’s a lie. Animal research isn’t just unethical – it’s scientifically bankrupt.

Everything we do — from our investigations to our lawsuits — is made possible by caring humans like you who refuse to look away.
➡ Chip in to keep the fight going strong!
This National Animal Rights Day, choose one action (or all six!) to make a meaningful difference. Every step you take helps build a future without animal experimentation.
Because animals in labs need more than our compassion. They need our action.
