"If you think you're too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a
mosquito." - Dalai Lama
In 2009, one nightshift spent on duty at his emergency vet clinic changed
everything for Marc Abraham.
Eight very sick puppies came in needing Marc's help. He subsequently discovered
they'd all been purchased from a pet shop and had been born in the same cruel
puppy farm. Since that fateful night, no one could have ever predicted the impact
those poorly pups would have on the world of animal welfare, or indeed the future
of grassroots campaigning in the UK, and beyond. Fast forward to June 2019 and
over 10 years since Marc treated those eight sick puppies and 'Lucy's Law', named
after a rescued puppy farm breeding dog whose pups were also sold through pet
shops, passed into law by the UK Government. It bans the selling of puppies (and
kittens) by pet shops and dealers, making all breeders accountable.
Now, in his new book, #BeMoreMosquito, Marc has put together the ultimate
guide for individuals to campaign for what they believe in - no matter what their
cause or belief. It shows how YOU have the power to create change - and that
YOUR voice matters.
He shares in detail his personal campaigning tips, toolkit, and experiences from
his own extraordinary journey, which included over 300 visits to Westminster.
From meeting MPs and engaging with A-list celebrities, to the role of
e-government petitions and developing your own campaign brand, Marc helps
guide you through how to raise awareness, dispel myths, change public and even
corporate behaviour, and importantly, how to make that all-important progress
and influence legislation that can make our world a better place, and all for free.
