THLN Presents: Texas Animal Advocacy Day
The Texas Legislature meets every two years, and while the lege is in session, the Texas Humane Legislation Network (THLN) hosts a Humane Lobby Day where animal advocates from across the state meet at the Texas Capitol to lobby their elected officials on important animal welfare bills. The Texas Animal Advocacy Day is an event sponsored by THLN during the interim year, where citizen animal advocates like you gather to learn and practice lobbying for animal protection laws at the state level.
This full-day event includes a lobbying workshop and an overview of relevant bills that THLN plans to support in the 2025 Legislative Session. Our presenters and the agenda were carefully crafted to meet the unique lobbying needs in Texas as we plan to share important information regarding THLN’s work to increase awareness of important animal welfare, safety, and health issues.
It doesn’t matter if you are a seasoned grassroots lobbyist or attending for the first time. When we come together and learn – the animals win!
