AZVegan Voices
AZVegan Voices meetings will be temporarily cancelled until
further notice.
AZVegan Voices will take action for animals by focusing on letter writing. Letters to the editor on timely topics, letters to elected officials on current legislation, letters to businesses asking for veg options or animal-friendly products...every letter written is a voice for the animals. Many legislators believe that your one letter represents the views of at least 100 other voters who did not take the time to express their opinion. (Though the focus will be on letter writing, AZVegan Voices may occasionally take on other projects.)
We will meet once a month and spend about an hour and a half writing letters and should be able to generate about 5 - 10 letters per person each meeting. I will provide topics, contact info, and stationary. Please bring stamps for your
letters and return address labels.
Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly. Location may change for future meetings to accommodate those living in different parts of the valley.
I will post the topics written about and all contact info
after the meeting for those who can't make it to the meeting but would still like to participate.

Quick letter-writing tips
-
Always be polite - people are much more
likely to listen to you if you aren't yelling at them. :)
-
Know your material - add in facts to
support your views.
-
Use your own words - try to speak from
the heart.
-
You don't have to write a lot - just
make your point quickly and politely. You can write a "standard"
letter of your own and send versions of that same letter to as many contacts on
the list as you want.

important addresses. You certainly don't have to write to everyone on the
list. (But kudos to you if you do!) Just pick a handful of contacts that you
feel are most important.
Thank you for all of your efforts on behalf of the animals!
