COALITION BUILDING

 WHY COALITIONS?

Building coalitions for a united aquatic welfare movement.

The idea behind coalition-building is simple: We are stronger together. At ALI, we believe we will be more successful and have a greater impact for animals if we work together as a cohesive, multi-pronged movement built around a shared blueprint. We can work together to find commonalities, and advance win-win solutions, all at a global scale.

At this crucial initial juncture in the aquatic welfare movement, we can ensure that all stakeholders are in communication, collaborating, and uplifting each other’s efforts, rather than risking redundancy or contradiction. The coalition groups facilitate a free exchange of research, ideas, and expertise, both within each group and between them.

Our coalition groups were formed to directly support the advancement of aquatic welfare initiatives, and secondarily to support the growth of work on aquatic welfare within each coalition’s niche. These groups not only unite experts and stakeholders, but channel their collective energies toward work on behalf of aquatic welfare.
