Activism 10

Activism: This week we were preparing for the presentation in class. Luckily we had a step by step process that we were able to follow. We met up to go over how we would set up our timing and to synchronize our speeches. We compiled information and we all compared notes on our experiences in Animal Safehouse.

Reflection: Using Seely’s approach to activism she states that the last step of activism is to “listen to everyone’s feedback and follow up on any final detail…” (Seely 22). As a group we did this several times before our presentation and we related our experiences to what we have learned from the text throughout the semester.

Reciprocity: This was a very rewarding experience. We were able to collect many donations and make an impact on the organization. I am defiantly planning to stick with this program after the semester and continue to help with donations and the animals. I feel that our event was extremely successful and we were able to spread the world to fight against violence towards women and animals.
