Why and How to Launch a Voting Bloc for Animals in Your Town, City, County or State, and the Simple Steps it Takes To Do It

By Julie E. Lewin, President, NIFAA

This book offers a detailed blueprint for individual advocates and organizations on how to become politically powerful. You'll learn how to win local and state laws and public policies for animals—and make sure they're enforced. Lewin believes animal advocates must do what every other issue group does—form local political groups that endorse candidates. 'The most important factor that determines how a lawmaker votes on a piece of proposed legislation is whether it could impact his or her re-election bid,' she explains. The book tells you exactly how to proceed, step by step, in your community, and covers every aspect of forming a group, mobilizing and recruiting members, lawmaking and lobbying. An excellent addition to any library, it is suitable for student papers and classroom use in animal advocacy, community advocacy, political science, American studies and law.

Julie E. Lewin is an animal rights activist, political trainer and campaign consultant. She's been a lobbyist, animal rescuer, political organizer and nationally published journalist. Lewin launched The National Institute for Animal Advocacy (NIFAA) in 2002 to fill a critical void in the animal rights and rescue movements.
