We recently launched our first chapter outside the state of Missouri!
This #TeamBuildingThursday, we would like to recognize a new recruit named Alex. Alex lives in Lincoln, Nebraska, and he has agreed to help us launch our first chapter outside Missouri there. He has proven himself reliable, and he even worked to form a student organization dedicated to animal rights advocacy. While he was able to attract several club members to the events he organized, COVID-19 and his graduation put his organization-building activities on hold.
Until now, that is. After seeing a post about our first-ever vegan activist speed friending event, he decided to join us for what proved to be a highly enjoyable evening. When we mentioned we were working to launch more chapters across the Midwest, Alex was just one of two people who volunteered to join our team and take their activism to the next level. He has since proven himself a worthy organizer, and we can hardly wait to see the amount of progress he makes over the coming months and years.
Here are some of the benefits to working with our organization by launching a Project Animal Freedom chapter in your city:
You will have access to seasoned activists who can provide advice, support, and guidance, helping you overcome any obstacles you encounter
You will have access to leaders, interns, and other volunteers who can assist your efforts in your city, making your job considerably easier than it would be as a stand-alone activist
You will have access to financial support and fundraising assistance, greatly expanding your ability to organize impactful events and reducing the stress and financial burden of paying for everything out of your own pocket
You will have 501(c)(3) nonprofit status behind you, giving you more credibility and access to discounts, more favorable treatment, and more overall opportunities as an organizer
You will benefit from the momentum we have generated thus far, further streamlining the process of building a successful animal rights organization in your area and allowing you to see the impact of your efforts more quickly
Our mission at Project Animal Freedom is bold, unique, and inspiring: to build a fully vegan Midwest by 2056. This mission, however, will require the sustained efforts of thousands of activists coordinated by dozens of chapters across the Midwest to realize. As an organizer, you would therefore play a crucial role in building a cruelty-free heartland. You would also witness firsthand the impact your activism generates in your community, especially given our novel, highly effective strategy for community building that, to the best of our knowledge, has not yet been attempted by any other animal rights organization.
If you would like to join the team, whether as a Chapter Organizer, a board member, a committee member, an intern, or a standard volunteer, please participate in our Vegan Talent Search. What are you waiting for? There is a world of progress that awaits us, a world where factory farms and slaughterhouses are no more and where animals live safe, happy, and free at long last!
