Earth Day is a globally recognized event that plays a crucial role in turning environmental awareness into tangible impact, and volunteers help create lasting change.

Farm Sanctuary is proud to be among more than 790 partners across 49 U.S. states and 22 countries joining forces for Food Waste Prevention Week (April 7-13), working together to educate the public and create a more sustainable food system.

Oregon’s proposed ban on octopus farming, HB 2557, has been scheduled for an April 9 work session (discussion, review, and editing before voting begins). This means we have just days left to urge lawmakers to pass a statewide prohibition on the production and sale of farmed octopus!

On February 27, with fellow members of the Stand Up to Factory Farms Coalition (SUFF), Farm Sanctuary lobbied lawmakers at the Oregon State Capitol in support of SB 80.
