Defend Them All

Defend Them All (DTA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to secure a better future for animals and their habitats through community advocacy, education, and legal guidance.

We bridge the gap between local action and systemic change to ensure that all animals are represented when their interests are at stake, utilizing strategic legal and non-legal tools. We take on issues that are often overlooked or underserved, and aim to drive meaningful change by engaging, supporting, and  collaborating with advocates advancing animal welfare causes in their community.

Effective, long-lasting reform is a marathon, not a sprint; all our initiatives begin with a detailed analysis of existing rules, root causes of a problem, and locality-specific challenges. We ask difficult questions, explore complexities, expose corruption and keep decision-makers accountable to animals and their habitats, to empower more informed strategy and systemic change.
