Hi, nice to meet you👋

My name is Sofia Balderson and I’ve dedicated my professional career to animal advocacy. My journey includes roles at many impactful organizations, including Animal Advocacy Careers, Veganuary, Equalia ONG, We Animals Media, Rethink Priorities – and now I work full-time on Impactful Animal Advocacy!

Meet Impactful Animal Advocacy

I first started the Impactful Animal Advocacy Community Newsletter in 2022 for friends and colleagues who wanted to stay updated on the farmed animal advocacy movement.

My co-founder Constance Li was critical is taking this project to the next level — her entrepreneurship experience and seed funding helped turn IAA into an organization. Our community now includes other initiatives such as a vibrant Slack group, events, and facilitated advocate connections.

Here are a few ways you can learn more:

  • 📰 Stay updated: We’ll send 2-3 emails per month directly to your inbox, with updates, research, and opportunities.

  • 🤝 Join our Slack community: Connect with a group of animal advocacy professionals in our collaborative space with relevant area- and role-specific channels.

  • 📦 View our resource Wikis: Read our comprehensive databases on fundraising, animal advocacy conferences, AI tools, and more.

We don’t charge subscription fees for our content. We’ve decided to make it 100% free to everyone, since our ultimate goal is to grow and strengthen the animal advocacy community. 

But, compiling and curating the newsletter takes up time and effort, so if you can afford to and think this content is valuable, please donate a coffee or sign up as a paid subscriber.
