Dear Friend,
You may know that I've been active for animals in Washington, D.C., for decades—from opening the city's first spay/neuter clinic to cutting off the sale of dogs to George Washington University's laboratories to stopping the practice of cheaply acquiring animals from shelters to be used as junkyard guard dogs and more during my tenure as the city's first female "poundmaster." All this occurred on the lead-up to my founding PETA right here in 1980 and then leading our millions of kind supporters to achieve historic victories for animal rights.
In November, I'll be pounding (get it?) the pavement of our nation's capital on a 10-mile walking tour of its most monumental sites for animals. Will you help me go the distance and reach my $15,000 PETA Pack personal fundraising goal? I'd be delighted if you could make a generous sponsorship gift today—if you do, I'll share with you an exclusive video diary of my march. It will be as if you're with me along the route!
The PETA Pack is a committed community of supporters who fundraise in whatever way they choose, using exercise or other interests to help animals. My own PETA Pack fundraising event will be a walk down memory lane: a guided tour of sites—from the White House to the Supreme Court building and many landmarks and secret spots in between—where we've made milestone progress for the rights of all animals, thanks to your help.
While the COVID-19 pandemic has caused cruel bullfights, rodeos, and animal races to be canceled and initially stopped marathoners in their tracks, if there's anything that we've learned from this unprecedented year, it's that nothing slows down PETA, our hardworking staffers, or our fabulous supporters. And everything that we accomplish is thanks to dedicated members like you.
