TAGGED:
We love our jobs. We in peta2 have the distinct honor of corresponding with student groups every day to help them raise awareness about animal rights locally. As such, it takes a lot to impress us... but it happened today.
That's because we received an incredible report from the Rhodes Organisation for Animal Rights (ROAR), in SOUTH AFRICA (yes, that's how they spell "organization" in Africa).
Clearly somebody took the time to watch our "Tabling On Campus" video, since these students really know how to get people talking about animal rights!
And talk about being resourceful. We're always happy to send out free materials, like stickers, DVDs, and such, but given the costs to ship halfway around the world, this group was creative enough to download our stencils and make their own bags to give out!
The results speak for themselves:
- Their student group now consists of over 170 students!
- They see their "I Am Not a Nugget" bags being carried ALL over campus!
- They've held film screenings, and various other events on campus.
- They have started a clinic in their town to help animals who are forced to carry heavy loads around for their whole lives.
- Ryan!

Start A Group At Your School February 17, 2008
Posted by Pulin Modi at February 17, 2008 6:43 PM | TrackBackOne person can make a huge difference when it comes to animals rights. In fact, there are a lot of DIY resources that we have to offer. But let's not forget that if you have a student group at your school, there is definitely power in numbers!
Whether you're trying to get better vegetarian food at school, introduce alternatives to dissection, or hand out leaflets, you're always going to have more success with even one or two extra people to help out.
So that's why we've got these downloadable packs to help you start a group. Check this college pack or this one for high school students.
We even have special a special student fundraising pack so you can order pins and stickers for cheap, then resell for a dollar or more and keep the profit for your group. Cool deal? What's better than taking in some money to help animals while also spreading the word by encouraging people to slap stickers on their cars or buttons on their bag?! Nothing, that's what!
Ok so that's my motivational post for the day. I hope you enjoyed it. We're, of course, always here if you need help getting a group started and will gladly send you free stickers and info, tips on campaigns you can win, and all that.
So the school year still has plenty of time to go. Get to it, will ya?! And if you need some inspiration, check out what our current Star Street Teamer is up to in New York. Meet Elijah Sharma!
Take care!
