About the Nonhuman Rights Project

The Nonhuman Rights Project is the only civil rights organization in the United States dedicated solely to securing rights for nonhuman animals. Our groundbreaking work challenges an archaic, unjust legal status quo that views and treats all nonhuman animals as “things” with no rights.

We work to achieve our message in three ways: (1) Litigation (changing the legal status quo and catalyzing aglobal conversation about how nonhuman animals are viewed and treated under the law); (2) Legislation and Advocacy (building grassroots support at the local, national, and global levels and working to pass the first nonhuman rights laws in the US); and (3) Education (raising awareness of the need and basis for nonhuman rights and providing resources to empower others to join the fight).
