Influencing Government Recommendations

Mexico

The Congress of Mexico City adopted a resolution on March 14 urging social assistance centers and schools to replace meat and eggs with plant-based protein one day a week. Deputy Miguel Angel Macedo Escartín proposed the measure.

Now we plan to use this recommendation to persuade more institutions to replace 20 percent of meat, dairy, and eggs served with plant-based food.

Changing Institutions

Mexico, Brazil

The lower the demand for meat, dairy, and eggs, the fewer animals will be born into misery at factory farms. Mercy For Animals works to decrease demand by partnering with major institutions in Mexico and Brazil, such as schools and local governments, to reduce meat, dairy, and eggs served by at least 20 percent.

Standing Strong Together

Mexico

Mercy For Animals staff and volunteers took to the streets in a Mexico City International Women’s Day rally to share the powerful message that animal rights and feminism go hand in hand. With more than 8,000 people in attendance, the event was an excellent opportunity to connect and support other social justice movements.
