Protect animal cruelty laws across the country!

A monumental threat is facing animals in our country! The meat industry is trying to overturn California's Proposition 12. This historic law, passed in 2018, prohibits the cruel caging of mother pigs, egg-laying hens and baby calves in California and also prohibits the in-state sale of pork, eggs and veal that are products of extreme confinement.

Not surprisingly, the meat industry is desperately trying to overturn this law and has filed three separate lawsuits, one of which is now going to be heard by the Supreme Court of the United States. If successful, this lawsuit could not only overturn California's Prop 12, but it could also threaten laws that address climate change and other concerns as well as laws that protect animals from other terrible cruelties like wildlife trafficking. And we need your help to stop it.

The Trump administration's support of the meat industry's lawsuits is actively being touted by the industry to support its Supreme Court case. We need your help to ensure the White House knows there's overwhelming public support for the law and to urge them to oppose its reversal.

Dear President Biden,

You’ve said climate change is “the number one issue facing humanity. And it’s the number one issue for me.” You may not be aware that a little-known case that the Supreme Court recently added to its docket could radically limit states’ ability to address this critical issue.

Industry interests are attempting to overturn California’s Proposition 12, which prohibits the cruel caging of mother pigs, egg-laying hens and baby calves in California and also prohibits the in-state sale of pork, eggs and veal that are products of extreme confinement. President Trump took the side of stripping states of their ability to pass such laws, but we know that’s not who you are.

Hundreds of nonprofits fighting climate change and those advocating for union and farm worker protection, family farmer support, public health and food safety, and animal welfare have called on you to protect Proposition 12, as have more than 100 members of Congress and governors.

Please stand with us and help to protect Prop 12!
