Action Diary - you can help!
 Double
Your Income... of Happiness!
Did you know that volunteering your time to help worthwhile causes can
increase your level of happiness more than doubling your income?
We have an action-packed diary of events and
we need all the practical help and support that you can give.
Your participation is a vital part of our campaigns to protect animals.
If you would like to help Uncaged with any of the following events, please
give us a call or send an email and we will send you further information,
or put you in touch with someone in your local area who is actively supporting
our campaign work.
LOCAL STREET COLLECTIONS & CAMPAIGN STALLS
We have booked dozens of street collections across the UK throughout
the year. We rely on the success of these in order to fund our campaigns
against vivisection and other forms of animal cruelty. They are vital to our campaigns, as public awareness and support - in addition
to funding - is essential to tackling vivisection. They are also
great opportunities to raise awareness about animal testing and cruelty-free
shopping. Conducting an anti-vivisection campaign stall, with petitions
and leaflets, as well as collection tins on the table, greatly increases
the amount of funds you're likely to raise on the day.
For a full list of the street collections, and to help, please email Max
Newton.
ANNUAL LONDON WIDE STREET COLLECTION
Saturday 19th July 2008
On this day Uncaged Campaigns has sole permission to collect in the Greater
London area (roughly anywhere within the M25). This once-a-year date is
a fantastic opportunity to raise vital campaign funds for Uncaged and
to inform the public of the truth about vivisection. Please help us maximise
this opportunity by 'shaking a tin' or, better still, holding a campaign
stall in conjunction with the collection. Stalls provide a focus for the
collection and greatly increase the amount of money collected.
 GLOBAL
BOYCOTT PROCTER & GAMBLE DAY XII
Saturday 17th May 2008
The twelfth anniversary of Boycott P&G Day. We need your help as
we strive to increase the pressure on P&G to change their cruel animal
testing practices.
Millions of people use P&G products everyday
unaware that the company still conducts lethal
animal tests to develop new cosmetic & household products and
chemical ingredients.
Yet polls reveal most consumers would switch to a cruelty-free
company if only they had the necessary information. Everyone has
a vital role to play in informing consumers about P&G's animal
testing, and the hundreds of cruelty-free alternatives available.
The 11th anniversary of the Day of Action in 2007 saw over 140 Boycott
P&G actions taking place all around the world - click
here for the report and photos. Again, we will co-ordinate events
around the globe to inform the public about P&G's animal testing.
We can help you to organise: protests at P&G sites; information/protest
events at supermarkets; town centre information stalls; distribution
of leaflets; and conduct letter-writing blitzes etc. Click

Day XI (Word format).
 INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL RIGHTS DAY
10th December 2008
International Animal Rights
Day (IARD) is when animal advocates around the world conduct candlelit
vigils and campaign stalls to remember all the animals harmed and killed
by humans, to call for the recognition of the Universal
Declaration of Animals' Rights, and demonstrate to the
public and media that 'animal rights' is about rational and well thought-out
ethical principles.
Each animal protection campaign is strengthened by the unity of being
under a global banner in solidarity with hundreds of thousands of caring
people all over the world. In previous years, vigils have taken place
at very diverse locations, including: vivisection facilities, circuses,
butchers, abattoirs, vivisection-funding charity shops, McDonalds, companies & government
departments that conduct, fund or promote vivisection, universities,
and even bull-rings!
Please join us, and the many other like-minded groups and individuals
around the world by holding a candle-lit vigil or town-centre campaign
stall on - or around - International Animal Rights Day 2007 to demonstrate
the need for animals to be afforded fundamental rights. See our review
of the events that took place in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
Please email Max Newton at max@uncaged.co.uk
if you would like to help with any of the above events.
