Hi FAST!  After decades of tireless advocacy, Sweden has become cage-free – a historic achievement for hens and for everyone who has stood by their side. Millions of hens once endured life in cramped cages, but thanks to Project 1882’s persistent, long-term efforts, there are now no hens kept in cages anywhere in Sweden.  This breakthrough is unique. To our knowledge, Sweden is the only country in the world to have gone cage-free without a legal ban. Project 1882 confirmed this shift by obtaining data from regional authorities and the egg industry.  In 1988, the Swedish Parliament voted to ban cages – but that promise to the hens was ultimately broken. In response, Project 1882 intensified its efforts: publishing detailed reports, launching repeated public awareness campaigns, holding corporate dialogues, and engaging directly with policymakers.   Thanks to these efforts, and following discussions with Project 1882, more than 85 companies –– from retailers to hotel and restaurant chains – have taken a stand against cage eggs. Since 2008, over 17 million hens have been spared a life in cages.  This success shows what persistent, collective action can achieve – even when political will falls short.  At the EU level, Project 1882 also collected 50,000 signatures for the End the Cage Age initiative, pushing for a ban across the EU. With delays pushing the proposal to 2026, Project 1882 is now urging Sweden to take the final step: A legal ban on cages, to ensure they never return.  Read more: https://www.project1882.org/news/sweden-becomes-cage-free

Hello everyone! We wanted to ask for your help with three specific actions regarding the Egg Labeling Bill being discussed in Congress. This month is crucial. Currently, the Egg Labeling Bill in Peru is before the Consumer Rights Committee. This committee will vote on it in the coming weeks, and we expect it to be passed to the full Congress for final approval. 1 - Updated petition https://shorturl.at/lT5WY 2 - Automatic link to email members of Congress whose vote is undecided on the bill https://tinyurl.com/yzm2sw9u 3 - If you use Twitter, this thread is very important because you can tag members.   FIRST: Important update on the Egg Labeling Bill! A new substitute text was presented that responds point by point to the MIDAGRI arguments. Here we explain it easily. @waldemar_cerron @katy_ugarte @rosiotorressali @edgartellom   SECOND: Will the price of eggs go up? FALSE. The PL doesn't require changes in breeding or processing. It only asks for transparency: indicating whether the egg was raised in a cage, shed, or pasture. Furthermore, bulk eggs are excluded. @waldemar_cerron @katy_ugarte @rosiotorressali @edgartellom   THIRD: Does it affect small producers? NO. The PL excludes those with 1,000 hens or fewer. It only applies to medium and large producers. @waldemar_cerron @katy_ugarte @rosiotorressali @edgartellom   FOURTH: Do all animal husbandry methods guarantee animal welfare? NO. Hens in cages are kept immobilized. This system was banned in the EU more than 10 years ago. The PL doesn't prohibit it, it just informs. @waldemar_cerron @katy_ugarte @rosiotorressali @edgartellom   FIFTH: Why is it important? Because information empowers. Consumers have the right to know how what they consume was produced. @waldemar_cerron @katy_ugarte @rosiotorressali @edgartellom   Thank you very much!

Each year, Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) invites animal charities from around the world to apply for our in-depth evaluations. Our goal is to identify the most impactful giving opportunities for donors seeking to contribute to a world where all animals can flourish. We are thrilled to announce that 10 charities have been selected for this year’s charity evaluations, based on their excellent applications and the highly promising nature of their work. Among these are six current Recommended Charities that are being re-evaluated before their two-year recommendation status expires: Faunalytics, Legal Impact for Chickens, New Roots Institute, Shrimp Welfare Project, The Humane League, and Wild Animal Initiative. On November 4, 2025, some of this year’s evaluated charities will be awarded ACE’s two-year recommendation status, joining the five charities recommended in 2024: Aquatic Life Institute, Çiftlik Hayvanlarını Koruma Derneği, Dansk Vegetarisk Forening, Good Food Fund, and Sinergia Animal. All charities evaluated by ACE have undergone a thorough selection process and have demonstrated significant potential in running cost-effective programs and engaging in impactful work. Even those that are not ultimately recommended are likely among the most effective in their respective fields. Below, we give an overview of our selection process and introduce the 10 charities that successfully reached the evaluation stage in 2025. Our Selection Process Our selection process is an initial assessment of applicants’ programs, with a focus on their theory of change and the scale of their impact for animals. The process is designed to ensure that we dedicate our resources to evaluating organizations with strong potential to be among the most impactful giving opportunities in the world. In 2025, our selection process began with 43 initial applicants, which were narrowed to 25 charities after an eligibility screening. These organizations then underwent a detailed assessment in w
