About Dawn Moncrief
Dawn Moncrief is the Founder and Director of A Well-Fed World, a hunger relief and animal protection organization chipping away at two of the world’s most immense, unnecessary and unconscionable forms of suffering… the suffering of people hungry from lack of food, and the suffering of animals used and abused for food.Dawn has been a social justice advocate for more than 20 years.

She also draws attention to the negative consequences of animal agriculture on climate change, and the deceptiveness of “humane” marketing.
