Political Advocacy

guide is available by clicking here.

Understanding CAPA
A Three-Part Strategy for Change:
For No Kill success to be widespread and long
lasting, we must focus on institutionalizing No
Kill by giving shelter animals the rights and
protections afforded by law.
Every successful social movement results in legal protections that codify expected conduct and provide protection against future conduct that violates normative values.
We need to regulate shelters in the same way we regulate hospitals and other agencies which hold the power over life and death. The answer lies in passing and enforcing shelter reform legislation which mandates how a shelter must operate.
