Chris from Fremantle met with his MP and you can too!
'I've never done this type of thing before, but I figured I
should put my money where my mouth is and make a difference. My MP
is now empowered to act on
my behalf and has the information required
to do so. The more people that get out and
speak to their local representative the more
of a chance we will have at ending this
cruelty.'
Contact us at humanechain@wspa.org.au
for a free MP meeting pack, which will
arm you with the information you
need and the contact details of your
local member. Also if you let us
know in advance, a WSPA
representative may be able
to go along with you!
There are all kinds of ways you can help to end live exports.
Here are just a few:
| 1. |
Send a message to Prime Minister
Julia Gillard.
|
| 2. |
Host a write-a-thon. Bring your
friends around, explain the issue,
watch some videos, and get writing!
If you've already written to your local
member, please write to the
Minister for Agriculture at:
Senator the Hon Joe Ludwig, Minister for
Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry
GPO Box 2477, Brisbane Qld 4001
|
| 3. |
Hand out flyers. Contact us for a bunch
of flyers and help raise awareness of
this issue in your community.

We'd love to hear any other creative
ideas you have to get involved. Email katinkaday@wspa.org.au
"I just googled my local paper
and found the "letters to the
editor" section of their website.
I sent a short, concise letter
highlighting the benefits to
ending the live export trade.
It was exciting to see my
letter actually get
published and was such
an easy way to make a
difference."
Cass from Sydney did it and you can too!
Don't forget to let us know if your
letter gets published.
