Street Teamers are my fave. It’s true. What’s not to like about people sticking up for those without a voice? Recently, two of our awesome Street Teamers, Marissa Chacon and Karissa Jones, came out for a Ringling Bros. protest in Stockton, CA, and they rocked their very own DIY Elephants Never Forget tees. Check it out!
Marissa and Karissa
Super cute, right? Here’s what Marissa and Karissa had to say about their protest experience and the peta2 Street Team:
Was this your first protest? What was it like protesting Ringling Bros?
Marissa: Yes. It was a great experience. It felt good to be out there making people aware of what is happening to these poor animals.
Karissa: Yes. It felt great to let people know more information.
How did you get involved with the peta2 Street Team?
Marissa: I go on peta.org almost every day and came across the peta2 Street Team and thought I should sign up because the Street Team relates more to younger people and offers us ideas to help out animals.
Karissa: A friend of mine let me know what the circuses were doing to elephants and from there I wanted to do anything to help save them.
Do you have any advice for other Street Teamers who might feel shy about speaking up for animals?
Marissa: Don’t feel shy! Speaking up for animals is something to be proud of. Animals don’t have a voice so we need to speak up for them.
Karissa: Just remember animals have feelings too. It’s important to voice your opinion and take a stand for what’s right!
Awesome! If you haven’t yet, sign up for the Street Team now and then take five minutes to help elephants in five ways.

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
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.
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
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
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.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
