RPA’s campaigns give you a way to be politically engaged all year – not just reading or hearing or talking about politics or promoting minutiae like the animal-welfare and “green” regimes but directly communicating with key policymakers about the needed fundamental policy change.

Crucially important as today’s election is, it is equally crucial to keep in mind that no official will work for the fundamental policy change needed for justice to be established or for any of the other basic moral principles articulated in the Constitution to be fulfilled. On their own, they will change nothing big for human beings, Earth’s other animals or the web of life.

We must work together to establish in the human mind all animals’ innate equality and personhood so their equal rights of self-determination and security in their natural homes can be established – all necessary for humans to fare better as well.

Animal-abuse policy, nature-annihilation policy, the worst possible food policy, endless war – all of these policies firmly in place today are devastating, radical departures from our species’ original lifeway as weaponless plant-foraging herbivorous apes on the African savanna, healthy, equal, and democratic. They account for nearly all human misery, not only the ever increasing suffering and bondage of Earth’s quadrillions of nonhuman animals.

As soon as you can, explore RPAforAll.org to rededicate yourself to creating policy to reverse radical change foisted on all of us by tyranny we have not yet eliminated.

I’m always available if “what you can do” is not entirely clear or if it conflicts with what the animal-advocacy machine has been telling you for years or decades.
