ADVOCACY INITIATIVES

 We have conducted over 55 Animal Rights Workshops in schools, that cover topics such as Animals in Entertainment, Animal Testing, Stray Animals and Animal Agriculture including Veganism. These Workshops enable students to showcase empathy and kindness for fellow sentient beings and encourage them to become more compassionate individuals. Along with information provided to the students, we also conduct fun-filled activities on compassion and kindness towards animals, with the students.

Our Environment Sustainability Workshops are designed based on the requirement of the institution and are flexible to inclulde topics such as the 5Rs (Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, Refuse and Repurpose), Ocean Pollution, Plastic Pollution and the Impact of Animal Agriculture on the Environment. These sessions are completed with a fun-filled activity based on the topic(s) being covered to further engage the students in becoming more aware, concious and reponsible citizens.

We have screened multiple documentaries which include Cowspiracy and Gods in Shackles at Educational Institutions to sensitize the students towards the environment and sentient living beings. 

Season 1 of our Radio Show called "A Voice for the Voiceless", in collaboration with Radio Active CR 90.4 gathered over 2 lac viewers per episode. It was hosted by our Founder- Ankit Puri, in conversation with renowned guests from the fields of Animal Rights, Environment Sustainability and Veganism.

We placed advertisements on buses that move across Delhi NCR with the message of Veganism and Compassion towards animals used in animal agriculture, specifically dairy and poultry animals. The buses act as a moving bill-board which spreads the message to thousands.

Our Wall Painting Drives in Bangalore were a medium of community building by bringing together volunteers from various educational institutions and walks of life, along with spreading the message of Animal Rights and Compassion to all the viewers. 

As part of our community advocacy initiatives, we ventured out into Carrots, Bangalore- a Vegan Restaurant, to explain the benefits of a Vegan lifestyle to the customers. Many of the customers are not Vegan, hence, the outreach makes a huge impact considering that they are already eating deicious vegan food at the restaurant, which dismisses several myths about vegan food.

We have organised multiple youth outreach events at significant youth events and gatherings such as the Under25, India's largest youth festival, visited by thousands of young people. The outreach events focus on sensitizing the youth on animal rights and veganism, and talking to them about living a more conscious and compassionate lifestyle.

Our #rednotwhite campaign was a virtual campaign that was conducted throughout the month of June 2020 (international dairy month), to showcase the abuse and cruelties of the dairy animals along with the huge ecological footprint of the industry. #dairyisuddernonsense

Collaring the stray dogs with reflective collars protects them from cars at night. We have conducted the stray dog collaring drive in areas of Bangalore, Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad, and have collared over 600 stray dogs.

We had conducted a cleanliness drive in Gejha Village, Noida to spread awareness about solid-waste management and create an impact by clearing the waste with the help of the local authorities.

We witnessed the participation of over 180 youth volunteers and around 8 schools. It was conducted over a period of two days where all volunteers gathered in the morning at 8 am and worked till 2 pm. 

Having a few extra trees is always a boon for animals who rest under its shade. To make the area more green for the animals, we conducted a plantation drive at an animal shelter called Posh Foundation planting about a 100 trees.

Sterilization is the best possible control of the stray dog population who die under vehicles on a daily basis. We have organized sterilization drives in few sectors of Noida with the help of the community animal feeders and Friendicoes- an animal shelter! 

On the occasion of India's Republic Day 2020, we conducted a cleanliness drive in Jayanagar, Bangalore where we saw the participation of over 40 volunteers who collected and segregated the garbage, that was then taken by the municipality for recycling.
