You love Our Hen House Community!
What do I love most about Our Hen House? “Meeting” members of vegan community and access to animal welfare news/information, especially media made by vegans. Vanessa
*
I support OHH because OHH supports me with their whole community. OHH has been a great educator and I’m very grateful for the hours of work and all the people behind the scenes that provide the content! Jill (in Germany)

I became vegan 9 years ago, but burned out after the first two years. I had no connections, and found I couldn’t keep doing it on my own. But your podcast and website have helped me feel that I’m connected with other compassionate people. It helps me feel not so alone, and will keep me from ever burning out again. Laura
*
I support Our Hen House because they bring the AR community to me. It makes me feel more connected to activists around the world, and it feeds my soul to hear from such honest and witty women as Jasmin and Mariann. Tommasina
*
I was vegan in college and very much alone. OHH provided me a community. Jasmin and Mariann really care about their listeners and pour their hearts and souls into doing better for the animals. Supporting OHH was an easy decision, because the podcast and those fab ladies make me feel less alone and keep my mind and heart focused. Stephanie
*
I support Our Hen House because I don’t have any vegan friends. I receive the support I need and get to hear from like-minded people on the website. Candice
*
I believe the work of OHH makes a significant impact, and therefore I feel good about supporting OHH with my dollars. I love OHH’s holistic approach to animal advocacy — covering food, art, law, and public policy, writing, and so much more! OHH provides me with a sense of community, which is important to me as the only vegan among my family and friends. Angela
*
I support OHH because the podcast and website keep me up to date on the latest animal rights news and issues, introduce me to a variety of vegan figures and products during the interview and review segments, and provide me with a connection to a vegan community. Elizabeth
You love Our Hen House’s Humor, Passion, and Hope!
In the sad world of animal exploitation, the bright light that shines from Jasmin and Mariann is priceless. With great wisdom, creativity, love, knowledge, and humor, they constantly bring forth inspiration, tools, and encouragement that help me in my quest to change the world for the better for animals. Beth

I support Our Hen House because Mariann and Jasmin do an amazing job working to change the world for animals. I appreciate the passion, humor, and serious discussion. They are two awesome women and they have put together an awesome group of contributors as well. Wish I had more to give! Madeleine

If I had to pick one thing I love about OHH, it would be the passion. A close second — the humor. Everything is lovable! Stacie
*
I support OHH because they come at AR from an irreverent and funny position. Jasmin and Mariann are like rock stars, but I feel like I know them. They put their heart and soul into their work. Russell
*
Love the intelligent, witty, candid, blunt, and colorful presentation and analysis of issues. Love it as a one-stop go-to source for all things for the thinking activist vegan. Ellen
*
I support OHH because it is an excellent source of information on all things related to veganism. And Jasmin and Mariann deliver it in such entertaining and genuine ways. Love them and love OHH! Kate

I contribute to Our Hen House because I like the fact that it is two women (and the people behind the scenes) standing up for what they believe in. I adore their attitude and their energy. Candace

My support for Our Hen House is based on my regard for the drive, dynamism, passion, energy and compassion that Jasmin and Mariann bring to the essential work of animal rights advocacy. Mark
You love Our Hen House’s Continuing Education!
I owe OHH my financial support because they’ve given me so much. It’s a community to me and my version of “continuing education.” Jasmin and Mariann are my mentors. The least I can do is give back and promote the heck out them. Sara
*
I’ve learned so much from Jasmin and Mariann! I’m coming up on my one-year vegetarian anniversary, and resources like yours are so important. I’m proud to be a member of the Flock! Nicole
*
Jasmin and Mariann are the real deal. I absolutely love the comprehensive nature of the shows. Everything from food, to cosmetics, clothing, law, policy, film, music, art…it’s all there! They are the Wikipedia of the animal rights movement. Lita
*
I support Our Hen House because Jasmin and Mariann keep me up to date in the world of animal rights in a fun, informative way. They are truly an asset to the world of animal rights! Melissa
*
Our Hen House is unique. I love the multimedia approach. The guests are always interesting and I come away with new ideas. By supporting OHH, I make a difference in funding a movement vital to the education of our society. Roni (full disclosure: Roni is Jasmin’s mom : -)
*
My main reason for donating is that I love the podcast. It is a reminder that there are other vegans out there! I love having something positive and educational to listen to while driving home from work or walking my (vegan + rescued) dog. Sarah
*
OHH is continuing education for vegans. I’ve l tried so many new products and followed so many authors because I heard about them on the podcast. OHH has helped me to grow into a better, more informed, more vocal vegan. It’s a lonely vegan world out there, but the extended OHH family gives me hope that things are going to change for the better. Kimberly

I love Jasmin and Mariann! How can I not contribute? Erica
