A Look at Different Activities

Screening a Video - Videos are are to expose standard farming and slaughter practices is a sure way to simultaneously grab attention and create awareness. Videos can be added to nearly any other activity, such as cage ins, protests, and information tables. Find out more about playing videos. This year, we have a special new video for activists in the US and Canada to showcase. The 10 Billion Lives video challenges viewers to see for themselves the abuses inherent to animal farming. It concludes with an opportunity to pledge to eat more vegan foods.

Leafleting is a simple activity, as it requires no permits, no equipment, and little planning. Make the most of your efforts by hitting high-traffic areas at the busiest times. Popular locations are fast food outlets at lunch time and college campuses between classes, but any busy area will do. Leaflet any occasion with your choice of our free colorful postcard-sized handouts.

Information tables require relatively little planning and allow activists to engage the public in meaningful, one-on-one dialogues. Info tables are much more effective with an interesting draw, such as a video or free food. Exhibits are basically the unstaffed version of an information table, typically ranging from one week to one month.

Protests and demonstrations are great ways to express outrage towards society's disregard for animals. If you are working on a campaign in your area, consider incorporating it into World Farm Animals Day.

Vigils and memorial services are somber events that focus attention on the losses suffered by each individual animals slaughtered by agribusiness each year. These events can be as elaborate as funeral processions or as straightforward as candlelight vigils. Die-ins are a visually powerful and symbolic form of protest where activists lie motionless in a public area..

Social media has become one of the preferred methods of outreach for activism. It's never been quicker or easier to get large amounts of information out to the public and to influence friends and family. If you have a Twitter or Facebook page, you have the opportunity to change the way people eat by showing off our brand new video "10 Billion Lives".
