[Hive]'s newsletter email is one that always gets read. As a funder and a campaigner, it’s an incredibly useful and convenient way to stay on top of what’s happening in our movement. I’ve found the research and resources section most helpful.

This is an excellent and well-structured monthly newsletter full of informative news and developments in animal advocacy and welfare. I review it regularly using a weekly snooze function in my email application.

I just wanted to give you a quick thank-you for this excellent newsletter. I looked back at the June edition just now so I could find those AI browser extensions you mentioned. This is going to be helpful! Trying them out tonight. I have not been to any formal effective altruism events, but I draw a lot of useful insights from EA communities and thinkers as well as ones who are not affiliated with EA. I hope to see the EA and non-EA people collaborate well and see the value in each other’s approaches, so I love resources like your newsletter that bridge the two.

...the only negative I have is that I open a dozen new tabs of things to read when I should be working! More seriously, this aggregation of news and events is at the very list inspiring to continue my own activism.

Hey, I just thought I'd let you know that you I find your newsletter EXTREMELY valuable. Thanks for putting it together. I really look forward to it every month. It’s hard to keep track of what’s going on and you do an amazing job at it. If you ever think of stopping because you’re too busy (which I assume you might be), I would beg you to find someone who takes it from you. It would be a shame to see it disappear

I'm so grateful for the newsletter - I've been listening to the podcasts recommended in it during my work hours, and read posts with a cuppa in the mornings/evenings. Loving the resource as it covers so many different aspects and areas within EAA. It'll be heavily used by me as I want to learn as much as I can about the community as I figure out what career in EAA would be a good fit

Your newsletter is an excellent curation of resources and perspectives! It’s like all getting to watch the same channel at the same time! Wonderful for shared resources, news, insights, research, and feeling of community. You aren’t just compiling knowledge but doing so in a user-friendly, brain-friendly way, and you are advocating for animals along with the people who fight for them. I also trust that you will include various perspectives vs one narrow lens. This is the one thing you need to read every month to be informed and inspired.

The [Hive] newsletter and Slack channels are wonderful resources that help me to stay up to date on recent developments. The founders have also made some great recommendations and connections for my work. In particular, Constance helped me access a dataset that I think will be very valuable in my work on alternatives to animal products.

I have found Hive's Newsletters truly informative and enriching. They have been a great source of information for everything I might miss while I'm out and about doing various things. Keeping up with the Slack community conversations has also been a great experience so far- including the kind of discussions that happen and the supportive vibes of the community! It is a must-join platform if you want to connect with and stay informed about the animal advocacy community and individuals involved in various initiatives around the world.
