Gene Baur is part of Change.org's Changemakers network, comprised of leading voices for social change. Change.org asked Mr. Baur to respond to questions to provide context for his work and the causes he supports.

Change.org: What cause or causes would you most like to promote as a Changemaker and why?

At Farm Sanctuary, the nation’s leading farm animal protection organization that I co-founded, we work to end cruelty to farm animals and promote compassionate living through rescue, education and advocacy. I support any causes that urge people to live consciously, and to be respectful of others.

Change.org: If you could ask 1 million people to all do 1 thing to advance your cause or causes, what would it be?

Go vegan.

Change.org: If you could ask President Obama and the U.S. Congress to do one thing to advance you cause(s), what would it be?

Eliminate subsidies that support the industrialized animal farming system.

Change.org: Who are other Changemakers who you look to for inspiration?

Jane Goodall, Pete Seeger, Thich Nhat Hanh
