Social Compassion is our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization was founded in 2007 and focuses on instilling greater compassion throughout society by promoting the protection of all animals – Earth’s most vulnerable inhabitants – and the environment in which we all live. Through humane education programs, public service announcements, rapid response media campaigns, and support for spay and neuter programs throughout California and beyond, Social Compassion helps all beings gain the respect, rights, and health they deserve and need to thrive.

Social Compassion also acts as the incubator for research and development of various public policy objectives designed to protect animals and the environment. Conducting research to formulate strong public policy and engaging allies, stakeholders and impacted communities all take time and resources.

Social Compassion allows us to do this important work. A long road needs to be paved before we reach Sacramento, Washington, D.C. or key government agencies with legislation ideas. Once there, our sister organization, Social Compassion in Legislation advocates on behalf of those ideas and turns them into actual legislation…and eventually new laws.
