Boston Took Action!

So this past weekend was the much-anticipated peta2 Take Action Conference at Harvard University, and boy was it fun!

The day started off with a rousing welcome and introduction by none other than peta2 head honcho Dan “I look powerful behind a podium” Shannon!

Probably one of my favorite parts of the day though was the “Question & Answer” session, which allowed attendees to talk about any issues they’ve faced with becoming vegetarian, dealing with unsupportive parents, or other problems in their efforts to speak out for animals!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a peta2 event if we didn’t end the day protesting outside of a local KFC! Notice Nicole “Needs a Stepladder to Use Pay Phones” Nuss as she stands with the countless other activists to make their voices heard!

So next time the Take Action Conference comes to your town, we had better see you there! Don’t even pretend as though you don’t want to hang out with the coolest kids in town…

    Hey Ryan, it was nice meeting you and the rest of the peta2 staff at the conference. I really enjoyed it, and am looking forward to doing more animal rights activism around my school.

    You should come down to NJ sometime! Sadly I couldn’t go to this because it’s too much of a drive for me going there, then doing all of those activities, then driving back.

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
