A couple of weeks ago, my colleagues and I attended Taking Action for Animals (TAFA) in Washington, DC, an animal-activism “boot camp” presented by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Over the course of just over two days, we were primed for political action, having scheduled appointments with our federal representatives in both the Senate and the House to discuss our concerns regarding specific pieces of legislation with animal welfare implications.
I live-tweeted from a few of the sessions I attended; a summary is below.
“Hearing from Humane Lawmakers“:
“No Money, No Animals Helped,” on effective fundraising strategies for animal welfare organizations:
“No Horsing Around: Let Your Equines Shine” on advancing legislation that protects horses:
“Are You Wild About Wildlife?” on advancing wildlife-friendly legislation:
“Creating Corporate Policy Progress for Animals“
Overall, TAFA was a very positive experience that I highly recommend to everyone who is passionate about promoting animals’ well-being. Unlike most other conferences, this one provides a unique opportunity to take everything you’ve learned and put it to immediate use via concrete and potentially high-impact action.
