As the chair of the Judiciary & Public Safety Committee, where DCVFA's priority bill Fur Products Prohibition Act awaits markup, we appreciate Pinto’s commitment to advancing the bill this year. "Animals play a fundamental role in enriching our communities, homes, and ecosystems, and the rights of our animals must be prioritized as they cannot speak for themselves," said Pinto. "I will continue being an ardent supporter of animal rights and improving access to healthful and sustainable food production and access throughout our city." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/d3954ab7-c33b-4f49-b7a4-5b9da50fd9e9/image-asset.png Blog - DC Voters for Animals Announces Endorsements in DC 2024 Primary - Ward 7 - Ebony Payne DCVFA found Ebony Payne to stand out for her commitment to better food systems that account for social justice and animal welfare, as well as her extensive history with animals large and small. “As a lifelong animal and nature lover, I am honored to have the endorsement of DC Voters for Animals,” said Payne. “I am excited to begin harnessing my network of local farmers to bring food justice to the people of Ward 7 and real solutions to solve our food desert crisis. Together we will lead in the creation of a food system that is grounded in compassion and justice for both people and animals.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/af5a7363-dcac-4ddc-bb83-295c90a6a9bf/Becca+%282%29.png Blog - DC Voters for Animals Announces Endorsements in DC 2024 Primary - Robert White – At Large DCVFA recognizes the special attention that Councilmember Robert White pays to the often overlooked and discriminated against bully breed dogs, and the significant role adoption plays in benefiting animals in rescues and preventing problematic practices common among industrial breeders. As the chair of the Committee on Housing, we look forward to seeing him modernize housing policy to be inclusive and accessible for people with companion animals regardless of socio-economic status. “As a bully breed dog owner myself, I know how our pets are part of our families,” said White. “That’s why I intend to introduce legislation to prohibit buildings from excluding dogs.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/f64d0a4f-f7f5-468b-b356-b29926218fd0/image-asset.png Blog - DC Voters for Animals Announces Endorsements in DC 2024 Primary - Salim Adofo – Ward 8 Candidate Adofo stood out to DCVFA for his strong support for an Animal Welfare Liaison to develop an animal welfare strategy for the District, and the immense effort he has put into building partnerships across Ward 8. "I am proud to have an endorsement from DC Voters for Animals. As a passionate human being, being publicly recognized as an advocate for animals is a great honor for me,” said Adofo. “If I am elected, I plan to designate a cabinet member as a liaison to ensure that animal welfare is given due importance. Animal cruelty has no place in our city, or in our Ward. Additionally, the health of our ecosystem is closely tied to the welfare of the wildlife in our city. Therefore, we need sustainable policies that protect animals, the environment, and our city. This endorsement is an important part of my vision for a safe, healthy and thriving Ward 8." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/7ccb0cb8-7040-4f9f-87b1-7636e4705885/Becca+%282%29.png Blog - DC Voters for Animals Announces Endorsements in DC 2024 Primary - Janeese Lewis George - Ward 4 NEW ENDORSEMENT: Ward 4 Janeese Lewis George in Ward 4 is ever the voice for the underdog (literally and metaphorically!). She is a co-introducer of DC's bill to protect animals held captive in the fur industry, the Fur Products Prohibition Act. “There is no place for animal cruelty and neglect in DC,” said Lewis George. “I will continue to work with DC Voters for Animals to uphold the District's leadership in defending animal rights, health, and welfare across our communities” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/dbfda779-f40a-4a96-b186-32fad5f1b152/Becca+%286%29.png Blog - DC Voters for Animals Announces Endorsements in DC 2024 Primary - Oye Owolewa – US Representative DCVFA endorses Dr. Oye Owolewa in his re-election bid to promote DC statehood before Congress as our US Representative. Owolewa stands out for his longtime commitment to animal rights and veganism, and is best suited to advocate for voting representation for DC in a way that helps us stand up for our most marginalized residents, both human and non-human. "I am truly humbled to be endorsed by DC Voters for Animals. I'm honored to witness DCVFA become one of the most passionate and community driven change agents in our nation's capital,” said Owolewa. “Whether it is fighting against animal cruelty, pushing DC to become fur-free and contributing to national and local legislation, DCVFA has been on the forefront of advocacy. I'd like to thank DC Voters for Animals for their confidence in me and all those who strive to make DC fair and cruelty free. Together, we work to provide a voice to the voiceless.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/7c41085f-397a-41e3-8e75-5b967579daf2/image-asset.png Blog - DC Voters for Animals Announces Endorsements in DC 2024 Primary - Ankit Jain – US Senator DCVFA supports Jain to represent DC as US Senator and carry the District’s message for statehood. It was clear from the outset of his campaign that Jain stands out for his environmental stewardship and desire to advocate for others. "I am honored to receive D.C. Voters for Animals' endorsement. Thank you for all that you do to look out for the well-being of all animals. As a lifelong vegetarian and a former Sierra Club attorney who spent time in law school fighting against factory farms, I truly believe in animal rights. As your next Shadow Senator, I will do whatever I can to advance policies that make Washington, D.C. the most animal-friendly city in America." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/5e444fd9-f2ca-4e45-8eae-53e7a79a7a20/image-asset.png Blog - DC Voters for Animals Announces Endorsements in DC 2024 Primary - Eleanor Holmes Norton – Delegate to the House of Representatives As the Congresswoman for DC, Eleanor Holmes Norton has been an avid supporter of legislation across the spectrum of animal constituents. As a member of the Congressional Animal Welfare Caucus, she has cosponsored legislation to protect dogs in puppy mills, rabbits and rats from cosmetics testing, and horses from export for slaughter, and receives a perfect 100 in the Humane Society’s 2023 Humane Scorecard for Congress. “Our animals have become more in the scheme of many people's lives over the decades. We have discovered that not only do our pets have feelings, but they know how to deliberately show love and support when we most need it,” said Norton. “More and more people are recognizing the positive effects of sharing our lives with domesticated animals, from emotional support to guides. I think it is important to continually look at ways to protect and support the lives of our pets and all living creatures.” https://www.dcvfa.com/blog/fur-free-dc monthly 0.5 2024-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/7e154ce2-ee5a-4356-9a2a-95e601595902/Fur+Hearing+Anouncement.jpg Blog - Fur Free DC - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/03c44a9d-96c2-48f8-ba3e-5c17f82158a8/2.png Blog - Fur Free DC - Changing Public Attitudes The vast majority of Americans are opposed to killing animals for fur. 71% of Americans are opposed to killing animals for fur, while only 25% are in favor. 77% of Independents and 80% of Democrats oppose killing animals for fur. In New York City 75% of residents were in support of a ban on fur sales, including 73% of white and 77% of black New Yorkers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/f608963c-a87a-4802-8c30-adf96b6ac21b/4.png Blog - Fur Free DC - Conditions for the Animals The fur industry killed 3.1 million mink just in the US in 2018, and 93.3 million animals worldwide. Animals raised for fur are generally kept in factory farms where they live in tiny cages and are killed in inhumane ways designed to preserve the aesthetic quality of their fur. In the wild, animals are caught in excruciatingly painful traps where they are often left to agonize for days or weeks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/5e8640ce-5269-4c01-9362-0a0d90f4e5e1/5.png Blog - Fur Free DC - Environmental Impacts A kilogram of mink fur produces the same carbon pollution as driving a car 775 miles. A fur coat releases 289 kg of carbon pollution whereas a faux fur coat only releases 38-43 kg. Animal fur is treated with toxic preservatives—not only exposing fur wearers to noxious chemicals but also contaminating our waterways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/4b8031d5-43bf-4254-9ee3-ff7259d6d9ae/3.png Blog - Fur Free DC - Do DC Businesses Support a Fur Ban? In 2017, fur sales made up less than 1% of clothing retail and 0.05 of all retail in DC. There are no furriers remaining in DC, and only a handful of stores sell clothing with fur. On the other hand, many DC stores have adopted policies to stop selling fur, including Macy’s, Canada Goose, and Niemen Marcus. https://www.dcvfa.com/blog/2024-candidate-review-dc-council monthly 0.5 2024-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/11b18416-1c73-4575-a7c2-aaf78373e663/Candidate+Response+Matrix+2024.png Blog - 2024 Candidate Review - DC Council - Make it stand out Candidate responses across DCVFA’s six categories of interest. https://www.dcvfa.com/blog/the-hidden-health-veg-culture-of-dcs-political-community monthly 0.5 2022-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/22727cbd-fade-4bee-8af1-da214e6d2256/pasted+image+0.png Blog - The Hidden Health Veg Culture of DC’s Political Community - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dcvfa.com/blog/2022-general-elections-animal-issues-amp-candidates monthly 0.5 2022-12-05 https://www.dcvfa.com/home-old daily 0.75 2022-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/0484f5ff-4c95-418b-abf7-deea2ec5b50e/Screen%2BShot%2B2022-05-04%2Bat%2B20.57.44.png Home (Archived) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dcvfa.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-07-17 https://www.dcvfa.com/our-grantees daily 0.75 2022-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/7a391f21-19ae-4cc0-b632-2fdce81aefee/250769_874448.png Our Grantees (Archived) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/5d342c31-3f8a-4a1e-8faf-598035172e43/j1Mc48Xu_400x400.jpeg Our Grantees (Archived) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/3dd8b903-ec94-4b9c-ba0b-2431a2222a26/21651_57648.png Our Grantees (Archived) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/a6fecce6-8d5d-4313-af49-04a2d97758a1/259514853_10159995609586177_4771222712272493674_n.png Our Grantees (Archived) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/4adaa410-07ed-4fc9-8f6e-4949addddef3/264532385_5182396358456370_28787492148556228_n.png Our Grantees (Archived) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/d00a2b76-b8cd-43e5-aafb-45756f75af69/1609778853565.jpeg Our Grantees (Archived) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/98cb1246-ca1b-4cb2-a9f3-aa9a77a80bff/VH+Logo.png Our Grantees (Archived) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/293201eb-5e7d-4389-823f-240c2c43ea1e/49121560_815361355469163_5351416881586634752_n.jpeg Our Grantees (Archived) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dcvfa.com/frequently-asked-questions daily 0.75 2022-05-11 https://www.dcvfa.com/our-mission daily 0.75 2022-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/1651749884094-XHYUJ8C69K4VAX8VNGRB/unsplash-image-pD0tUqzSCY4.jpg Our Mission (Archived) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/1651749958677-H2H12BAIUNR7MX8RQPCB/unsplash-image-Zyx1bK9mqmA.jpg Our Mission (Archived) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/1651750022637-GMG03QSN6XR991DCPI4D/unsplash-image-CnygD0-II6M.jpg Our Mission (Archived) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/1651750086704-1PZX1I6758IG3DFGLM2G/unsplash-image-IaZpwL9y1-I.jpg Our Mission (Archived) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/1651750286146-YTDKVMA0XQVFRNL934XR/unsplash-image-FivSzd2O1Uw.jpg Our Mission (Archived) https://www.dcvfa.com/home daily 1.0 2025-03-24 https://www.dcvfa.com/home-backup daily 0.75 2022-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/1652697129235-XI3KF91O83ZWEMVBFVGE/unsplash-image-pD0tUqzSCY4.jpg Home (Backup) - Veganism and food systems transformation We believe that the regular practice of consuming animal-based foods is the primary obstacle to our vision. We prioritize projects which recognize the centrality of the food issue and behave accordingly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/1652697355976-0L91GOYIMSFJ31HEGAUD/unsplash-image-Zyx1bK9mqmA.jpg Home (Backup) - Movement-focused approach We recognize that the scale of our vision is large, and achieving it will require sustained pressure. Too often, good ideas turn into actions which fade away into exhaustion, whether personal, financial, or through lack of social cohesion. To that end, we put priority on projects which are focused on increasing the capacity, endurance, and power of our movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/1652697390624-Z2XRDCQH6BL2917CY2E6/unsplash-image-CnygD0-II6M.jpg Home (Backup) - Bold, strong and uncompromising We believe it’s important to treat all people with respect, whether they agree with us or not. To this end, we feel it’s important to be honest towards all parties about what we stand for. We don’t support watering down or compromising on our core values, and we encourage projects that take bold stances that honor the urgency and necessity of our mission. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/1652697414513-QNJS0ZRL052WRH93U8S9/unsplash-image-IaZpwL9y1-I.jpg Home (Backup) - Cultural change We believe that changing the dominant culture of our society is the essence of our mission, and is an end in itself. However, it is less visible and less obvious when it’s happening. For these reasons, we feel that cultural change is a neglected area within our movement and are excited by the wide-open potential of projects that focus on culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/1652697444273-OVLHMM1F6XARJBZ67USH/unsplash-image-FivSzd2O1Uw.jpg Home (Backup) - Levers of power We believe that power can be exercised for good, but concentrated power can easily lead to corruption and apathy. We are open to leveraging power in various forms. Centralized power (political, legal) is appropriate for enforcing negative rights, including a non-human animal’s right to life and liberty or the prevention of ecological destruction. Decentralized power (individual choices, grassroots organizing, non-violent direct action, economic power) is more appropriate for transforming culture. We’re excited about projects that understand and leverage the role of power in their theory of change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6272a5a0fc0b610da835d8f3/7a391f21-19ae-4cc0-b632-2fdce81aefee/250769_874448.png Home (Backup) -
