Always stay polite – it will speak volumes about you & your cause.

This is such a good thread for newbies like me just trying to get into reaching the community so thanks guys!!

Write animal rights slogans and web site addresses on bank notes (dollar bills) and pass them on.

I hate the, “If you do this or that it will turn people off to veganism”, argument. It’s not veganism or activists or videos, etc. that turn people off. It’s whether or not the person is rational and has any empathy. If the person is rational or empathetic, they will see the philosophy, not the delivery. If the person is irrational or lacking empathy, they will find ANY EXCUSE to reject what you said or did, no matter how well and nice you said or did it.

:] Be educated and prepared for questions, or “smart” remarks.
People are more willing to accept a leaflet if they have no reason not to
so trump they’re silly “myths”
And always smile and be polite, even if they aren’t XD

When leafleting, don’t be too overbearing, but try not to take no for an answer. Try to get the person to take your leaflet by giving them more information on the topic. Then that leaflet may end up in the hands of many others as well!

Get a few friends to help, make your own leaflets (and make them interesting and eye catching). Keep a very positive attitude and lots of charisma on hand. Make it spectacular but have a clear outline of the facts! Organize in local festivals and events.

Always be patient and kind, rather than getting involved in heated debates with innocent by-standers. Keep your calm and stick to the facts…and pass out lots of leaflets!
