Continuing our efforts from the 2020 legislative session, we are now spreading the word about this crucial bill virtually through the Washington Indivisible network.
2020 has certainly been a year to remember. Following the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, we had to reimagine our advocacy efforts. Together with our partners at Pasado's Safe Haven, the incredible animal advocacy organization we worked with last session, we brainstormed a new strategy to reach constituents while ensuring the safety of everyone involved. On September 19th, 2020, we had the absolute honor of delivering our first virtual presentation to Indivisible Eastside regarding the Humane Pet Sales Bill. Alongside Pasado's Education and Advocacy Director, Brenna Anderst, we talked through the deceptive puppy mill to consumer pipeline, which utilizes false guarantees of reputability to transfer unscrupulously bred puppies from mill to broker to pet store. Indivisible Eastside was also the first chapter we presented to last year, and we are beyond grateful for their continued support. On October 8th, 2020, we expanded our reach to Snohomish County Indivisible. This chapter covers the region home to Pasado's Safe Haven, and we were ecstatic to see their enthusiasm. They asked insightful questions regarding the Humane Pet Sale Bill's enforcement and the extend of mill influence in Washington. Thank you so much for having us! Going in to November, we are looking forward to our presentation to Indivisible Greater Vancouver on the 13th. Though these times are unprecedented, our commitment to the well being of animals is as strong as ever! Bellevue, WA 10/27/20
