Ways to Advocate

Make an Impact! Advocate for Animals in Need.

There are many ways to advocate for animals, but the most important item to remember once you’ve decided to be a voice for animals is to get engaged and do it effectively! Here are some of the typical ways that we can advocate for animals:

 

  • Let your elected officials know your views on an important animal issue:
    • Schedule a meeting
    • Call their office to share your opinion
    • Email their office to ask them to support an issue
    • Write a letter to the editor to your local news outlet about an animal welfare matter

Consider your sphere of influence to expand impact of your voice for animals

 

  • Do you know any influential members of the community who can join you in advocating for animals?
  • Do you have any other friends or family in key legislative districts who can help support an issue with their representatives?
  • Do you have any involvement or affiliations with organizations or groups that may be able to have an impact?
  • Do you have or know anyone who has any celebrity connections who have taken actions for animals?
  • Do you have any business connections within the area?
