Advocating for Children & Animals

American Humane Association’s Office of Public Policy & Government Affairs advocates for policy and legislation that will benefit children and animals and keep them safe from abuse and neglect. Through our advocacy in Washington, D.C., we can provide decision-makers in the Administration and Congress with what they need most: effective strategies that can help children and animals despite tough budget times.
