How You Can Get Started …In Activism Are you ready to be a Vegan-Activist? If you’re wondering, how you can get started, here are some suggestions:

Has anyone ever told you that you’re too young to change the world? YOU are not! Run for office Student government provides a chance for students to have a positive impact in their school and learn about how government works on a small scale. Create a public awareness campaign that includes social media There are many ways to develop or participate in a public awareness campaign Educating people about an issue in order to inspire change can take place in school, in the community and online. Do a survey about the issue and share the results Understanding what people think and why is helpful in bringing about social change. Raise money Raising money is a good way for students to contribute to community or national efforts to address injustice. Write a letter to a company Students can reach out to companies or organizations that they feel have done something unfair or biased. This is something do-able that can make a difference.
