About us
Pro-Animal Future is a collective of voters, volunteers, and small donors building a political movement to end factory farming. We use grassroots campaigns to turn public support for animals into law.
We are a citizen-led movement away from the exploitation, animal cruelty, and environmental pollution of factory farming, and towards a brighter future based on a more just, sustainable, and compassionate food system. We are brought together by a vision of a world without animal cruelty. Through our campaigns, we are pushing for changes to the industries that cause both animal and human suffering.
Come join us! You’ll meet a community of volunteers from all walks of life who share a passion for making the world a better place. Find connection, support, and fun through our community social events, and join in on group outings, activities, and free plant-based meals. We currently offer in-person volunteer opportunities in the Denver, Colorado area.
