Animal rights are a core issue for UNFTR. An estimated 46m turkeys are killed every year for Thanksgiving, and it doesn't have to be that way.
We sponsored three turkeys from @woodstocksanctuary.bsky.social this year. Will you sponsor one too?

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is lying about falling prices as Americans drown in debt this holiday season. When he looks like he's crying and fumbles his words, he's lying. Gas isn't down. Groceries aren't down. Your wallet knows.

94 Palestinians died in Israeli detention during the genocide—nearly triple the previous decade's total. Israel's culture of secrecy prevents families from even knowing if loved ones are detained. Zero accountability, total impunity.

At Least 94 Palestinians Died in Israeli Detention During Genocide—Where’s the Outrage?
When it comes to Israel, the U.S. policy effectively boils down to, ‘Nothing to see here.’ A new report underscores the unprecedented level of impunity Israel enjoys.
