“The League of
Humane Voters of New York City has done an amazing job at legitimizing
animal protection issues at City Hall and in Albany. In just five years,
they have become a political force for animals that simply cannot be
ignored."

“As the Editor-in-Chief of Satya Magazine, I know a bit about the animal
rights/welfare movement. The League of Humane Voters of New York City is
playing an essential and unique role in the movement; they have become a
model for other groups looking to become politically powerful for
animals.”
-- Cat Clyne, Editor-In-Chief, Satya Magazine |

“The League of Humane
Voters of New York City recognizes that it’s time for the animal
movement to get political. Because of LOHV-NYC's work, more elected
officials are recognizing that promoting humane policies is not only the
right thing to do, but it's also the politically intelligent thing to
do."
-- Paul
Shapiro, Factoring Farming Campaign Director, The Humane Society of the
United States and Co-Founder, Compassion Over Killing |

“I can hardly believe
the difference the League of Humane Voters of New York City made in my
State Assembly campaign -- the number of LOHV-NYC volunteers who joined us
at the campaign office and on the streets, the mailings they sent out,
the voters who told me they were supporting me because of LOHV-NYC's
endorsement... LOHV-NYC was one of our most effective supporters.”
-- Brian
Kavanagh, New York State Assemblyman, 74th A.D. |

“LOHV-NYC… continues
to lead the way in educating many on the importance of animal rights.”
- Jose Serrano, New York State Senator |

“I have chosen to
support the League of Humane Voters of New York City because I know it
is making a difference! In just a few years, it has elected more than
two-dozen humane candidates to office, and it is getting laws proposed
and passed to protect animals. What other reasons could I need?”
-- Mary Max, Board Member, The Humane Society of the United States |

“I have long believed
that we of the animal rights community should make our votes count
directly at the polls. Our numbers are significant, and although we are
yet a minority, we can affect the outcome of an election, especially in
selected local contests. I thus believe that the League of Humane
Voters of New York City is on the right track. It has already had an
impact, and my expectations for its future are high… I believe that
LOHV-NYC has been moving toward this future intelligently as well as
effectively. It has chosen issues with broad appeal and has been able to
give serious help to selected candidates.”
-- Julian H. Franklin, Professor Emeritus of Government, Columbia
University and author of Animal Rights and Moral Philosophy |
