Thanks to everybody who attended peta2's Take Action Conference in Chicago this past weekend! We had over 100 students attend the event, for a day full of discussions and talks about "how to answer tough questions," "helping animals online," and much, much more!

Here are a few of the highlights:

Pictures are still coming in from Street Teamers, so make sure to keep checking our Flickr page to see them all, and share your stories from the conference on our peta2 message boards!

FINALLY, in response to demand from Street Teamers way up north, the next peta2 Take Action Conference will be in TORONTO! All of the details are available here, so make sure to reserve your spot NOW!

Ready, set, go!

- Ryan!

Hi Caddy,

There is NO age limit to attend the Take Action Conference. Much of the material discussed will focus on what high school and university students can do to help animals, but EVERYBODY is welcome. :)

Make sure to reserve your spot for the event here: http://www.peta2.com/takecharge/t-studentconference.asp
