One of the cooler things that Vegan Outreach has been doing lately is publishing activist profiles of some of its top leafletters. Here’s a snip from this week’s interview with North Carolina leafletter Rob Gilbride:
One of my most positive leafleting experiences was from leafleting at Duke University. Well, it was after I leafleted: I was standing in the Whole Foods checkout line when a student came up to me and said, “You are the guy who handed me a leaflet on campus last semester. Thank you so much.” He then told me that he is now vegan and writing about veganism for one of his classes. He shared the leaflet I gave him with some of his friends, and as a result they went vegan as well. Once I realized how much of an impact I could make with so little effort, I was hooked.
Vegan Outreach is always seeking more volunteers like Rob. If you can step up and do some leafletting, or donate to print more leaflets for volunteers like Rob, I hope you will.
