  1. Next time you order a drink at the coffee shop, give the barista an animal rights message, such as “SeaWorld Sucks” or “Fur Is Dead,” to write on your cup instead of your name—it’ll be called out for everyone to hear when your drink is ready!
  2. Save animals every time you shop—apply for the PETA Visa Rewards Credit Card.
  3. Cut saturated fat, cholesterol, and cruelty to cows out of your diet by following these tips for cooking without butter.
  4. Have a cell phone and 60 seconds to spare? Take action just by texting a keyword to companies that exploit animals.
  5. Read a whistleblower’s story about the abuse of a dog on the set of the upcoming film Crazy Alien—it’s an important reminder never to support movies that use live animals.
  6. Keep an eye out for the new vegan products (including Daiya cheese sticks, Field Roast Chao dressings, and crab-free cakes) that are hitting stores this year.
  7. If you liked Isle of Dogs, catch PETA’s stop-motion video about the suffering of dogs bred to have muscular dystrophy by experimenters at Texas A&M University.
  8. Read about the amazing all-vegan team who just climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, and share the story with friends.
  9. In her new speaking tour, PETA President Ingrid Newkirk is tackling speciesism. Learn how we can all break down prejudices and treat every sentient being with respect.
  10. April 6 is National Caramel Popcorn Day, so indulge in “accidentally vegan” Cracker Jacks or make your own sweet and salty treat.
