In Animal Welfare, reduced animal overpopulation and improved well-being are anticipated. Civic & Economic Opportunities aim for increased access to employment and economic advancement, along with greater community involvement in public policy. Education seeks to close academic achievement gaps and improve student success, while Environment strives for cleaner water, preserved open spaces, and increased use of renewable energy.
