Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing UK Voters for Animals!, published by eleanor mcaree on May 15, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
We're excited to announce a new volunteer-run organisation,
UK Voters For Animals, dedicated to mobilising UK voters to win key legislative changes for farmed animals. Our goal is to recruit and train voters to meet with MPs and prospective MPs to build political support for our
key asks. Due to the upcoming general election, we think this is a crucial time to apply pressure on politicians.
If you want to use your political power to win change for farmed animals, sign up to get involved
here. Please share with anyone who may be interested - we're looking to find people in all 650 constituencies around the UK so no small feat!
We think people in the EA community would be a great fit for helping out with this work because they are often thoughtful, pragmatic, and impact-focused. The minimum commitment required is attending a training, and participating in a 30-minute meeting with your MP and/or most promising prospective MP.
(If you need some convincing on how useful this might be:
Research shows politicians believe direct contact with citizens is the most useful way to learn about public opinion, so this is a key way for everyday advocates to contribute to meaningful policy change.)
If you want to learn more, feel free to check out our website, message me, or email
hello@ukvotersforanimals.org.
You can also keep up to date with our work on social media at:

Note: UK Voters for Animals is run by a volunteer team and isn't affiliated with any of the organisations the team works for.
