Nina Jackel
Nina Jackel founded LadyFreeThinker in 2013 as a personal blog while working as campaign director at a prominent international animal advocacy organization in Los Angeles. As a writer and editor for numerous publications, Jackel understood the power that the media has to illuminate, educate and influence. The impact of her work was almost immediately felt. A petition Jackel started to stop a school hunting contest in which children as young as five years old were rewarded for killing possums resulted in public outrage that shut down the event in 2017. Today at LFT, Jackel leads a team of dedicated writers covering breaking news and grassroots actions with the mission of creating a more compassionate world. So far, Lady Freethinker has published thousands of news articles and amassed more than 10 million signatures on petitions to fight cruelty to dogs, cats, farmed animals, animals in entertainment and more.
