Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM) is a national nonprofit organization advocating for animal rights and veganism since 1976. For many years, we were the only national animal rights organization fighting for farmed animals.
Operating from our nation’s capital through a network of local activists, we conduct massive public awareness campaigns. Our Animal Rights National Conference has inspired hundreds of animal rights activists and motivated movement newcomers.
