ABOUT APV

We change the laws to change their lives.

 

Animal Protection Voters (APV) was formed in October 2002 in New Mexico. It is a social welfare [501(c)(4)] organization, that is allowed to conduct unlimited lobbying. It may also secondarily engage in political activities. Donations to APV are NOT tax deductible.

 

Why is Animal Protection Voters important?

One important tool that can be used to reduce animal suffering is passing laws that better protect animals. In order to pass local, state and federal laws, it’s necessary to build a force that our lawmakers cannot ignore. Making animal issues important to lawmakers involves extensive lobbying, helping to elect good candidates to all kinds of public offices, and holding those officials accountable for how they vote on animal issues. This crucial and comprehensive approach cannot be conducted by 501(c)(3) organizations like Animal Protection of New Mexico (APNM). But it can be legally accomplished through a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization like Animal Protection Voters (APV).
