Everyone has basic rights under the United States Constitution and civil rights laws. This training is geared towards animal activists and designed to help you learn more about your rights, how to exercise them, and what to do when your rights are violated.

Previously, Will worked as Legal Counsel for Animal Outlook, a national nonprofit farmed animal protection organization, where he divided his time between undercover investigations and civil litigation. On behalf of Animal Outlook, Will engaged in numerous lawsuits against the government and industrial agriculture. Will currently resides in central Virginia and helps operate a nonprofit sanctuary for formerly farmed animals.
