Also remember: we are looking for individuals and groups of campaigners to join the BREAK THE CHAIN network, and we can help with–

• Supplies of free leaflets and posters for demos, distribution of press releases for your events.

• Alerting individuals and groups when we get information about circuses coming to town, and organizing publicity for events.

• Supplies of leaflets for tabling, for distribution to local businesses, libraries, colleges, etc.

• Media help:  Giving you saturation publicity in your area when the animal circus is coming to town, to publicize demos, or any event to raise awareness; this includes quotes from celebrity supporters, sending video to the media.  Our publicity team would ensure that you are at the front of your local media.

• Help organize letter-writing and email drives for Congress District Offices;  when our lobbyists have meetings in Washington, we need local people to tell their member of Congress that the meeting is important!
