More Ways To Get Involved:

• Coordinate an event. Submit your event information here and IDA will post it on their web site so others can join you on June 20 and help make your IDAEZ event a huge success.

• Bring a friend or two to an IDAEZ event. Share information about the elephants’ plight with your family, friends and colleagues.

• Hold an elephant awareness party. If you do not live near a zoo that holds elephants but are passionate about taking action on June 20, hold an elephant party to raise awareness and donations for IDA’s elephant campaign. Contact IDA for materials and suggested videos to share.
