Thrive Philanthropy is seeking virtual speakers for the Thrive Africa Vegan Women's Initiative to discuss organizational and/or project management leadership in the vegan food system space. This might look like best practice tips, an overview of your own professional journey, lessons you've learned, etc.

The audience is women-identified vegan advocates from Africa-based countries including nonprofit leaders, young advocates, medical professionals, and more.
 

We highly encourage BIPOC and women-identified speakers but are open to anyone! We invite speakers from any country.

This is a probono opportunity and in return you'll have a great chance contribute to the growing Africa vegan movement,  practice virtual speaking skills, reach a novel audience to add to your portfolio.

Please send a very brief overivew of a proposed topic and/or a CV by 16 July to virginia.ruguru@thrivephilanthropy.org

We look forward to hearing from you!

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

* After negotiations with ICAW, the UK retailer Morrisons committed to eliminating eyestalk ablation and implementing pre-slaughter electric stunning for all farmed shrimp in its supply chain by 2027. * We have been actively talking to them for several months and they have been very impressed by our recent campaign against Iceland, including our recent protests in London! Morrisons joins several UK retailers that have already made similar commitments: M&S, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Ocado, and Co-op. A huge thank you to everyone who participated to this win for shrimp !
