Are you an animal advocate who wants to keep abreast of the latest strategies that bring significant progress for farmed animals?
Join the Impactful Animal Advocacy community for an hour of casual conversation and Q&A with Josh Balk to:
- Learn about shareholder advocacy and how it complements other advocacy strategies
- Hear what Josh Balk may be excited about next
- Ask any questions
Josh Balk co-founded The Accountability Board in 2022, which has since made incredible progress for animals using a strategy called shareholder advocacy. Josh has a wealth of experience as a longtime animal advocate, and we think some community members could benefit from his lessons and insight.
We encourage anyone to join, either with specific questions or just to listen in on the discussion.
This event will take place on Thursday, March 28. It will be recorded and sent to all registrants afterwards. (If not being recorded: Notes will be sent to all registrants afterwards.)

Previously, he was the Vice President of Farm Animal Protection at the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) where he led the passage of a dozen state laws helping egg-laying hens, mother pigs, and/or veal calves, including the historic California Proposition 12. He also led corporate negotiations with the largest food companies to enact animal welfare. Balk is also a co-founder of EAT Just, the maker of Just Egg and the first company to ever sell cultivated meat in the world.
