Don’t miss the last call before our August break!
Join us on July 15 at 12 p.m. PT as we explore how mass family separations are impacting our work, and how we can take action together. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is disrupting the safety and stability of our communities by targeting our neighbors and co-workers. When individuals face unexpected detention or move out of the U.S. to seek sanctuary, pets are often surrendered—and people become less likely to engage with organizations requiring identification for adoptions, RTO, or volunteer work. As ICE drives distrust, engagement with vaccination, spay/neuter clinics or other community events may drop.
Panelists will offer unique perspectives and practical strategies for supporting families and pets in our communities. This critical conversation will help us understand the changing landscape and develop responsive approaches so that we can act with care instead of fear, and protect each other.
Panelists:
- Alessandra Navidad (Arizona Animal Welfare League)
- Ruby Montana (Bridge Pups Rescue)
- Ki (Community Organizer, Los Angeles)

The All Call is a California community call for animal well-being professionals. The one-hour call is a dedicated space to share and learn from each other. Popular topics include initiatives that create a more inclusive culture for both staff and community, programs that keep pets with their people, industry trends, research studies, as well as the hard stuff, like what’s not working or what is particularly difficult during times of scarcity. The call is a mix of presentations, storytelling, open discussion, and Q&A time.
The All Call is hosted by the California for All Animals team, Nadia Oseguera-Ramón, Ivy Ruiz, and Allison Cardona. You only need to register one time. Calls are sometimes recorded; recap emails with supplemental resources are sent post-call.
