New Webinar from Faunalytics: Bridging Conservative Values and Animal Advocacy
Faunalytics' latest study — Bridging U.S. Conservative Values And Animal Protection — can help give advocates a framework for both working with conservative lawmakers to pass pro-animal laws, and in crafting pro-animal messages that will resonate with the conservative public.
In this panel, we will explore how to apply these findings to your work! First, learn about the study and the research from Faunalytics. Then, listen to our two guests — Max Broad from DC Voters for Animals and Roland Halpern from Colorado Voters for Animals — as they discuss how these ideas can be applied in their own interventions. Finally, you'll have a chance to ask any questions you have about political identity and animal protection!
This webinar is ideal for political advocates, legislative advocates, or anyone who works with individuals from across the political spectrum with any intervention. The study focused on U.S. conservatives, but the panel will likely be illuminating for understanding conservatives in other countries as well.

Hello CB, I'm glad you enjoyed the post!
I don't remember casting a vote (perhaps when I clicked on my own icon it registered that as exactly being in the middle which was the default position -- I can try to undo this). As a representative of Faunalytics, I am not currently attempting to vote in the debate but rather provide information to help others make their decisions.
This is a great study and I hope it serves as a wake-up for leaders in the animal movement to make the non-profit sector more equitable and just! As the study shows, this won't just be good for the employees (especially marginalized ones), but also for the animals, since it can help retain talent within the movement.
I'd just like to put out there that many of these features already exist in our Faunalytics research library!
