Thank you for deciding to become more active for animals! As PETA's activist liaison, I am happy to answer any questions that you may have about protesting, setting up a display, talking to the media, and more. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about activism. If you can't find the answers you're looking for, feel free to e-mail me at MeganH@peta.org. Some questions and responses will be posted here. If you're looking for answers about animal rights in general (not activism), please visit PETA's "kindness consultant" at AskCarla.com.

I have just retired and have some free time on my hands. What types of things can I do to help animals?

We have tons of ideas for you! Check out our Ideas for Activism for the Mature, Motivated Mind. How can I get Meet Your Meat or similar animal rights videos aired on my local television station? If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million. Airing animal rights videos on cable public access television is one of the most effective and inexpensive ways to reach people with a message of compassion. Thanks to activists across the country from Washington, D.C. to San Francisco, millions of people have already seen pro-animal videos on cable access television. We would be happy to help you bring this incredibly valuable tool to your community. For a detailed guide on steps to take and how we can help, please visit http://www.goveg.com/feat/cableaccess/.
