Commemorate - Celebrate - Educate National Animal Rights Day (NARD) is an annual day observed in more than 50 countries around the world, on the first Sunday in June, for the purpose of giving a voice to all animals and raising awareness for their rights. It's "Memorial Day" and "Independence Day" for the animals, combined. On June 2, 2024, special NARD events are held in major cities in each country, to Commemorate the billions of animals who die every year by human hands, Educate the public about the current treatment of animals and the alternatives to it, and Celebrate the progress that is being made every year towards ending the suffering of animals. These events also bring the local animal rights communities together, and allow people to mourn together, celebrate together, and empower each other to keep on fighting for animals. NARD was established by the non-profit Our Planet. Theirs Too. in 2011. To learn more about us and our history, see https://thenard.org
