Dear Friend,

I want to thank you again for signing our petition urging the USDA to provide strong protections for birds under the Animal Welfare Act and for joining AAVS’s online community. Welcome! We appreciate your support!

Here’s how to stay connected to AAVS and what you need to know to help end the use of animals in science:

• 1. Know the Facts:
  AAVS will send you timely news to stay up-to-date on issues affecting animals, announcements about our important work, and the latest info on alternatives to replace animals in science.
• 2. Take Action!
  You’ll receive alerts so you can take action to help animals in labs. Here’s one you can do today:
• Several countries around the world have enacted laws prohibiting animal tested cosmetics, but the U.S. has yet to do so. However, the Humane Cosmetics Act of 2019 could change this and would make it illegal to test cosmetics on animals, as well as sell animal tested cosmetics, in the U.S. Urge your legislators to support the Humane Cosmetics Act!
• 3. Tell Others:
  Forward AAVS e-mails, action alerts, and news to friends and family, and be sure to post this info on your social media, too. It’s a quick and easy way to advocate for animals!

Working together, we can make meaningful, lasting change that will advance science and end the use of animals in research, testing, and education. Thanks for supporting the work of AAVS!

Best,

Crystal Schaeffer
Outreach Director
