Dec/Jan 2025 Actions for Animals
Welcome to the monthly Actions for Animals list!
We've scoured our favourite organisations, with a focus on Australia, for current actions they need us to take. We've then put them all in the list below for anyone who wants an easy way to help animals and the organisations trying to protect them.
The actions vary and can include signing petitions, contacting political representatives, making policy submissions, and more.. Using your laptop, tablet or phone, you can take meaningful steps towards a kinder world for animals, from shutting down factory farms to protecting precious habitats for wildlife.
If you’re in Magandjin/Brisbane, you’re warmly invited to join us in person at Vega Cafe for brunch and digital activism together. Find more details of the event on our Action for Animals Facebook page or on Brisbane Vegan Meetup.
You can find upcoming events and stay in the loop by following us on Facebook and Instagram @a4acommunity.
