The Occupy Movement has inspired a true revival of grassroots activism in the U.S., bringing thousands of people into the streets to support the creation of a progressive plan to reverse the downward spiral our country is in. What started as a movement to emphasize the growing gap between the rich and the poor, has become a multi-issue conversation, showing the connection between all oppressions and all struggles.

The animal protection movement must be part of that conversation. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” We must speak out for the 99% of animals who are threatened with human imposed suffering due to cruelty, exploitation, habitat loss and environmental devastation.

Take action! IDA has created a card called Occupy Compassion. If you are involved with a local Occupy movement, or know of one in your area, please send us your address and we will provide you with the Occupy Compassion card to hand out at your local Occupy protest. Introduce the progressive people in your community to animal rights issues and ask them to take action for animals.

For more information or if you would like Occupy Compassion cards, please contact hope@idausa.org.
