Factory Farming Awareness Coalition

Classroom programming: our classroom programming educates high school and college students about the impacts of Factory Farming on the environment, marginalized groups, public health, and nonhuman animals. This work is done nationally and with particular focus in five major regions across the us-the bay area, denver metro, the midwest (chicagoland and northern Ohio), new york city, and southern California (los angeles and san diego). Ffac's educational coordinators annually empower tens of thousands of students to address the issue of Factory Farming at an individual, instutional, and systemic level.

Leadership collective: students who complete the advocacy instutite become members of ffac's leadership collective. The leadership collective aims for both near-term impacts in members' communities and long-term capacity building for the movement. This program offers specialized support with members' projects and opportunities to attend professional development workshops we offer.

Advocacy institute: motivated students apply to participate in ffac's semester-long advocacy institute. The advocacy institute, which has both an educational and a practical component, equips 150 students annually with comprehensive knowledge and experiential training to advocate successfully in their communities. Not only do they gain a broad and systemic understanding of Factory Farming's impacts through a thoughtfully prepared curriculum, but we directly support them in running instutional campaigns, giving our presentations in their classes and organizations, creating and sharing social media, and writing articles, among other efforts.
