Evan Shamoon is a writer, editor, and creator dedicated to amplifying stories of animals, their advocates, and the urgent need to rethink our relationship with them. As Editorial & Communications Director at the Weeping Elephant Project, he brings more than two decades of experience in journalism and narrative strategy to campaigns that highlight the hidden realities of captivity and the possibilities of sanctuary.

His writing has appeared in outlets including Rolling Stone and Wired, and he's worked with organizations such as Animal Equality, We Animals, and Lady Freethinker to bring visibility to animal suffering and resilience. Evan believes in storytelling as a form of advocacy — creating work that connects audiences emotionally while driving meaningful action for animals. He also writes about these issues on his Substack, Glass Walls.
