1.This week was a little bit of a slow week. I didn't quite know what to do next and when I e-mailed Leandra she didnt write back so I asked Arielle and she told me to try and set up another tabling. I was put in contact with Christine Sepulveda, who called ikiwi, and got them to allow us to set up a table on December 1st! I will be in charge of passing out flyers for the event and getting all of the Animal Safehouse information and supplies to the event. I was very happy that now Animal Safehouse can add one more event to their monthly calender!
2.I think that this week showed me that activists must be creative. Just because someone tells you "no" is irrelevant.If you care enough about the cause, you will find a way to get the information out there. Just because the calender had no more events on it didnt mean that the activism was over. Create a NEW schedule. The idea is to keep it moving because the fight is never over so persistance is a virtue. In Fight Like A Girl, Seely is always stressing this point. In activism, things are rarely ever going to be handed to you.You have to depend on yourself and your fellow activists, and never give up.
3.I'm proud that we are the first event taking place in the new month, and I feel a sense of accomplishment knowing that I'm part of a fantastic team that is absolutely dedicated to getting the cause out there to the public.
