The Marty Project
For the love of dogs, boldly connecting people, science, and policy.
Our Mission
The Marty Project works to establish public policy that promotes the replacement of dogs in human product safety testing with evidence-based scientific alternatives.
Champion
As a 501(c)(4) nonprofit lobbying organization, we champion bipartisan legislation that promotes the advancement of human-relevant technologies to replace dogs in human product safety testing. We facilitate direct and grassroots lobbying at the state and federal levels to ensure legislators have the data they need to bring about change.
Collaborate
To ensure our programs and lobbying efforts are relevant, we collaborate with multi-stakeholder groups such as scientists, nonprofit leaders, and lawmakers to help guide our planning and decision-making. These collective relationships are critical for effective policy development.
Change
We engage members of the public to act as volunteer ambassadors on our team to engage with state and federal leaders to educate and encourage policy change. Together, we have the ability to ensure a world that promotes dog welfare and simultaneously the advancement of human health.
