2024 Open Arms Challenge

Activating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Animal Welfare via Best Friends Network

This series of town halls was a two-part discussion on Best Friend Animal Society's approach to DE&I work and provided actionable next steps for organizations.

Best Friends is committed to continuing the important conversations on how to acknowledge and dismantle the deep-rooted systems in place in animal welfare that prevent our movement from being truly and deeply diverse, equitable or inclusive. We are further committed to sharing what we learn with others, so we can create a kinder world for animals and the people who care for and love them.
