Maryland Votes for Animals (MVFA) is a dedicated political organization committed to advocating for the rights and welfare of animals throughout the state of Maryland. Founded in 2009, MVFA has grown to become a powerful voice for animals, now boasting over 6,000 passionate members who share our commitment to promoting humane and ethical treatment for all animals.
Our Mission
Our mission is to advance animal welfare legislation in Maryland by lobbying for laws that protect animals from cruelty, neglect, and exploitation. We strive to educate the public, engage with lawmakers, and mobilize voters to create a state where all animals are treated with respect and compassion.
Our Achievements
Since our inception, Maryland Votes for Animals has been instrumental in passing over 50 animal rights bills, making Maryland a safer and more humane place for animals to live. These legislative victories include protections for pets, farm animals, wildlife, and animals used in entertainment. Our successes are a testament to the power of collective action and the support of our members, volunteers, and allies who tirelessly advocate for change.
How We Work
At MVFA, we believe that effective advocacy starts with awareness and education. We work closely with legislators to draft, introduce, and pass laws that reflect our commitment to animal welfare. Our organization engages in grassroots lobbying, builds coalitions with like-minded groups, and organizes campaigns to ensure that the voices of Maryland’s animal lovers are heard. Through our efforts, we empower citizens to take action and make informed decisions at the ballot box.
