Crate Free Illinois has changed its name to Crate Free USA

Crate Free Illinois has changed its name to Crate Free USA. Its mission remains the same: to reduce the suffering of animals on factory farms. Still based in Illinois, the organization  will continue its grassroots efforts to support local farmers that pasture raise and treat the environment and animals with respect. It’ll continue to be vocal about the growth of factory farms in Illinois and beyond, as well as the negative impacts on animals, the environment and rural communities.

Starting with convincing Trader Joe’s to commit to a largely crate-free pork supply chain in 2018, national campaigns now include striving for both Aldi and Costco to take a strong stand for pig welfare and commit to a public timeline to go 100 percent crate-free.

The organization is available across all social media as @CrateFreeUSA. For more information, visit CrateFreeUSA.org.
