Making a Difference

A guiding principle for activists is "Think Globally, Act Locally," which applies to activities on behalf of nonhuman, as well as human, animals. Working at the local level, individual animal advocates can have a significant impact on how animals are treated in our society.

Renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Everyone can make a difference. Although you are just one person, your voice counts. We'll show you how to use that voice on behalf of animals — even if it's just to write a letter or make a telephone call — how to acquire the skills of an activist, and make a difference, whatever your age and wherever you live.

Don't Lose Hope

Of course not every action we or you take has a recognizable positive effect. If it did, there'd be no need for Born Free USA united with API. So if the immediate outcome of the issues you find important to you is an apparent defeat, don't lose hope. The animals are counting on us, and tomorrow will be better.
