Purpose
Interreligious
Voices for Animal Compassion promotes advocacy
and compassionate living on behalf of animals by
engaging with a variety of religious, ethical,
philosophical, and spiritual perspectives,
recognizing that religion and spirituality play a
significant role in shaping how humans understand
and treat other living beings.
Our goal is to
engage the hearts and minds of people of faith,
scholars, faith leaders, and activists on issues
facing non-human animals in order to expand the
circle of compassion beyond human beings, and to
empower faithful action.
What We
Do
- Build
connections between people of faith, scholars,
and activists in order to share ideas and
resources, learn from each other, and do our
work together
- Encourage
advocacy that articulates religious,
philosophical, and ethical perspectives that
