If you signed up, there's a good poll over there that asks "area of interest". Of course, I entered Animal Rights under *other* :)

My post can be found here:

Come to think of it, this may be a public site? Join in anyhow, better yet sign up! I think admin wants DUers to focus beyond "what's for dinner" threads...LOL. This is a good thing!!

Anyhow, great place to post action alerts..hint..hint :)

1. This is an excellent place to post action alerts!

I have posted two petitions opposing specific acts of animal cruelty there, when it was just the Activism Forum, and have gotten many signatures. However, since it has become headquarters of the DU Activist Corps, with so many more people posting there, my threads have taken on new life and have just taken off! I no longer have to kick them myself, LOL! One of my petitions I did post here, and I just gave it a kick. Here is the other petition, which I only posted in the Activism forum. It's a great time to post actions there, because of the increased traffic. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!:hi:

p.s. I had signed up and took part in this week's action. There are many worthy causes to be found on DU.:-)

3. Yes, I did. And somebody else just noticed and asked me what's been done

About it. I will again ask my friend, who sent this to me, for an update. The fact that the petition's still viable is not a good sign.:-(

But thanks! I have posted numerous "actions" there, over the years, though this is the one which is closest to my heart, so I keep track of it.:-)
