Sentience Politics

Sentience Politics is an anti-speciesist political think-tank. We advocate a society in which the interests of all sentient beings will be given moral consideration, regardless of their species membership. Our activities include political initiatives and the composition of scientific position papers, in order to encourage rational discussion of relevant important and complex ideas.

Our guiding philosophy is effective altruism: when time and money are limited, how can we best use our resources to reduce as much suffering as possible? We approach this question using rationality and empirical science in order to identify and implement the most effective strategies to reduce suffering.
