You CAN make a difference!
So, you love animals.. But what can you, little 'ol you, do? LOTS!
The internet has given activists a whole new forum in which to support and oppose issues important to them. You can make charitable contributions online. You can send letters online. You can create a free webpage (try Yahoo!Geocities) to help make your voice heard. You can join "egroups" or newsgroups that provide activist information.
I belong to an amazing webring/family called All Creatures Great and Small. Members of this webring belong to an egroup that communicates daily! DAILY! We send each other activist alerts, information and support. Many emails start, "Has anybody heard about"...
The easiest way to get the word out is.. uh.. well, to literally get the word out!
You can do it.. You CAN make a difference!
The following are either webpages to visit or addresses to email.
TIP: Hold your mouse over the letter graphic next to the link to determine which is which. You'll see "Send an email" or "Visit a webpage".
If you have trouble with writing letters, I would strongly suggest you join a group (like "CAN" listed below) that provides letters for your use.
