Why it's urgent

No vote date or current bill status is given in the report, so no deadline is confirmed. The bill was introduced in the Senate, per the group.

The strategy

Asks senators to oppose a bill that would undo state cage laws. Constituent objections can influence offices' positions, but one message is one of many.

Why it scored 75

Scale: Massive
Over 10 million animals: state cage laws cover egg-laying hens, mother pigs and veal calves across the US, but the report gives no count, so this is a guess.
Severity: Serious
Removing state protections against extreme confinement would matter a lot to affected animals, though the bill does not itself cause the confinement.
Chance of success: Plausible
The report does not say how far the bill has advanced; the earlier EATS Act did not pass, but the outcome for this bill is unknown.
Your difference: Moderate
A personal message to a senator adds to constituent opposition, a useful contribution to a campaign, though one of many.
