I have learned so much about narrative strategy and the key role it plays in social movements from Natalie Braine, Animal Think Tank's amazing Narrative Lead. If you're a change maker interested in contributing to transformative social change, then you should join this free webinar she's giving: Why Having a Narrative Strategy Can Help Us Win Animal Freedom Wednesday 29 May 4.30-5.30pm (BST) As animal freedom communicators, we're all striving to ensure that what we communicate moves and inspires people to take action for our animal cousins. But are there key lessons we can apply from other social movements that can help accelerate our issue and help the public connect with it in new ways? Join us for our latest webinar, where we'll delve into what we can learn from past successful movements and campaigns, which used narrative strategy to bring about cultural and legal change. We'll explore the art and science of narrative strategy, and how it is the driving force behind societal shifts that challenge and ultimately change the status quo. And we'll uncover the techniques these movements used to inspire, mobilise and create lasting impact. This session is more than a history lesson - it offers a new approach for our own movement's narrative strategy.

"The kindness one does for an animal may not change the world. But it will change the world for that one animal." 🐾 The kindness one shows towards an animal can have a profound impact, even if it may not change the entire world. 🌍 💕 Each act of kindness towards an animal can make a world of difference in their life, creating a ripple effect of compassion and love. 🌟✨ By providing care, love, and support to an animal in need, we are changing their world and giving them a chance at a better life. 🐶🐱🐾 #KindnessToAnimals #MakingADifference #KindnessMatters #AnimalLove #ChangingLives #CompassionInAction #BeTheChange #AnimalRescue #SpreadLove #MakeADifference #ActsOfKindness #AnimalAdvocacy 🐾💕🌟

Animal kindness is treating animals with compassion, empathy and respect. It's about recognizing that animals have value in themselves and are sentient (they have physical and emotional experiences, and can feel pain). Please take time to read via #TheAnimalKindnessIndex which is an annual UK-wide investigation into people’s attitudes towards animals https://bit.ly/3qzQPNg The report is produced by the RSPCA Scottish SPCA and USPCA and includes the results of a survey commissioned to find out which values people hold when it comes to #animalwelfare #charitycommunity #humananimalbond

Moving can be traumatic for an animal and the cause of many animals running away after being moved to a new home. Before moving, invest in Animal Communication Session. I can ask animal how they feel about moving? If they need help with feeling of being unstable? And if they are afraid they will lose their "forever home"? Use Bach Flower Remedy: Walnut to help with change and instability.

Registration is now open for the 2023 ASPCA-AAWA Research Forum on November 1 from 12-5! At this free online event, you'll hear about the latest and hottest #research in our #animalwelfare field, with direct implications for improving the lives of animals in shelters and communities. Here's the science we'll dig into this year: What roles do animal and owner characteristics play in shelter returns? How do Native communities think about "rez dogs"? What are the trends in equine sheltering and adoption, and how do/don't they mirror those in dog/cat sheltering? How can understanding the choices people make about petcare help us shape services that reach more animals? CE credits are available - and did I mention it's all FREE? https://lnkd.in/gPZJRmXy #animalshelter #data #equine #accesstocare #shelterdogs
