New Organization Targets College Students

A new grassroots organization, Evolve For Animals, has formed to implement a comprehensive and creative education-based approach to animal rights advocacy.  While this small group is amidst plans to develop book drives, vegan soup kitchens, plant-a-tree programs, film screenings, leafleting, and speaking engagements, there is a special focus on reaching out to the 18-25 demographic, especially those in US colleges and universities.  To deliver the abolitionist message to the aforementioned population, EFA is promoting its informational website via student listservs, providing their literature to on-campus animal rights groups, and recently began working with college administrators and faculty to organize special events for students.

To support this organization’s efforts, learn more about their projects, or if you are an organizer/volunteer of an animal rights group that is interested in distributing EFA’s literature please use the contact information and links below.
