CALLING ALL ACTIVISTS
Are you the future of animal rights? The theme and mission of AR2012 is to help us rekindle the spirit, the enthusiasm, the commitment that we felt when we first became involved with the animal rights movement.
To this end, we are asking every person who believes that non-human animals should have the right to live fee from human exploitation and abuse to tell us why or how he or she is “the future of animal rights.”
Check out the details here and send us your submission. |
