Act Local - Impact Global!

Display posters and/or leaflets at your factory/office/school/college. Talk to your colleagues and friends about the importance of taking responsibility for our consumer choices, give them the information leaflets and get the pledge sheets signed. Some students have even waged successful campaigns to get P&G products (such as Pringles) banned from their school tuck-shops! Email Uncaged Campaigns Coordinator Max Newton for an action pack! (Click here for other phone, fax and postal contact details.)

Town Centre Campaign Stalls and Collections

A tried-and-tested method of reaching hundreds of concerned citizens with our cruelty-free message. They also provide good opportunities for collecting signatures on the Boycott P&G Pledge and fundraising for the campaign. You will need leaflets, posters, pledge sheets, stickers and collection tins. You will need to obtain a paste table (inexpensively available from hardware stores), pens and clipboards. Use hardwood or cardboard to mount your posters. Banners and props can be used on stalls too, to grab extra attention. Contact Uncaged Campaigns Coordinator Max Newton for more information and materials.

Write to the Letters Pages

These are the most-read sections of newspapers. Explain why P&G are subject of a world-wide boycott campaign and how important it is people buy cruelty-free. Also write to the online letters pages of newspapers, and radio and TV stations; and the forums for individual news/current affairs/discussion shows. Include the address of the P&G section of our website for more information: www.uncaged.co.uk/pg.htm. Click here for a sample letter, remembering to insert relevant details mentioned in square brackets.

Constant Campaigning

At Uncaged we campaign against P&G's animal testing all year round, please join us by protesting throughout the year, as well as on the annual Boycott P&G Day. Leafleting, campaign stalls, letter writing, supermarket and P&G site protests are effective at any time of the year and are necessary if w are to maintain and intensify the pressure on P&G to change, and continue to inform people about cruelty-free shopping.

Non-UK Protesters

Non-UK animal advocacy groups and individuals can also participate in these activities on Boycott P&G Day and throughout the year. Please organise events in your city, and ask other groups across your country to participate in the campaign. International Campaigns of France, for example, started doing this a few years ago and now have a strong network of groups across France to participate in both the Boycott P&G campaign and in other French national animal protection campaigns. By spreading the campaign across your country you will greatly increase its impact, and build your own national network of activists.

Please contact Max Newton for more information about building a cruelty-free campaign network; to find groups active in this campaign near you; or for advice about starting a Boycott P&G campaign in your country.

Procter and Gamble protest

80% of the public believe that animal testing for cosmetics is totally unjustified, with 79% opposed to animal testing for chemicals used in the home [1].

We need you help if we are to reach out and inspire this potential mass movement for change.

IAMS demonstration

While P&G continue poisoning innocent animals with optical brighteners, colouring agents, detergents and chemical fragrances, we have to stand up to them on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves.
