That's what is needed in the women's movement - a strategy that can drive awareness and culture change.” PeopleThinkingNeedsTryingCareCultureIssuesAwarenessMediaExampleMovementNeededMovedStrategyFeministLgbtRepresentationPopular CultureCulture Change Author:Ai-jen Poo

“To be proactive is to educate yourself and get the word out via social media, or through one of the many animal-welfare organizations around the world, and by signing petitions, starting your own campaigns, rescuing and fostering animals, organizing cleanups, recycling, volunteering at your local animal shelter, going to eco-tourist destinations or photo safaris.
