ARI is a pioneering 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to ending animal suffering through a multifaceted approach of pressure campaigning. We combine government, community and corporate to achieve our goals of complete animal liberation within our lifetime. Based in the United States with chapters in Hawaii and Washington, we believe it is necessary to fight for animal liberation from human oppression because we are all animals, and compartmentalization of cruelty of any kind provides rationalization for every kind. We can not achieve peace for human beings until we are kind to every being.
Our Tactics
From us, you can expect the following:
We also provide support to our local communities by organizing group work parties at animal sanctuaries in need.
Dispelling the myths commonly held about plant-based foods, we host tastings for the public to experiment with alternatives to animal suffering.
Outreach workshops, Classes, Documentary Screenings, Cooking Contests, and more.
We also organize group social events to recharge and restore the community of dedicated volunteers and reduce infighting.
A Message To All Peacemakers
- Nuseir Yassin
Pain and shame are the most difficult human emotions to bear, which is why so many people have difficulty admitting to themselves that their actions directly fund cruelty to animals - they already believe cruelty to animals is wrong, and to make ourselves wrong, just doesn't work within our self preserving mindsets. The good news is, a collective awakening is happening across the globe where people refuse to dishonor their intuition, and desire to align their incongruences in order to be in peace.
