Winning Against the NIH: A Landmark First Amendment Lawsuit

Join us as we discuss World Animals in Labs Day with Mad Krass, who shares insights into a significant First Amendment lawsuit against the NIH. Alongside her friend Ryan Hartov, Mad Krass and PETA challenged the NIH's practice of blocking comments related to animal research on social media. After an initial ruling against them, their appeal succeeded, ensuring the public can discuss how tax dollars are used for animal research. The conversation also touches on international animal research funding and the ongoing lawsuit against the University of Wisconsin Madison. Learn about Justify, a nonprofit co-founded by Mad Krass, offering support for those questioning the animal research industry.
