Tribute to Diane Keaton


Social Compassion in Legislation mourns the loss of our dear friend and former board member, Diane Keaton, whose compassion and dedication to animals inspired everyone around her.


Diane joined our board in 2019, lending her voice, heart, and influence to advance humane laws and elevate the cause of animal protection. She championed our efforts to end the use of wild animals in circuses and roadside zoos, penning an op-ed that helped shift public opinion and legislative momentum toward compassion. Beyond her advocacy, Diane’s kindness shone through at every fundraiser and event she attended—graciously taking photos with guests, offering encouragement, and supporting our mission in countless ways.


We are forever grateful for her generosity, her authenticity, and her steadfast belief that animals deserve dignity and protection. Diane’s legacy will live on through the lives saved by the work she helped make possible.


With love and gratitude,


Judie Mancuso

CEO, Founder & President
