Street Team Questions
Does it cost anything to join the Street Team?
Not only is it free to join the Street Team, but we’ll actually give you free stuff in return for the things you do for animals after you join. There will be missions for you to complete, and you can win cool prizes like T-shirts, CDs, and other cool animal rights gear.
How do I update my contact details, like my address, mobile number, e-mail address, etc?
To update any kind of information, please write to StreetTeamIndia@petaindia.org.
How long will it take for my campaign materials and Street Team goods to arrive?
Requests for materials and Street Team goods are processed monthly. However, it’s not unusual for materials to take a little longer to arrive. Remember, mail delivery times vary with your location. If you need materials by a specific date, be sure to let us know when you place your request.

I’m having trouble going vegan. My parents don’t support me. What can I do?
It’s great to hear that you’re interested in becoming vegan. Being vegan is the easiest way to help animals, yourself and the planet! Check out www.GoVeg.com for information about nutrition and veganism. There are also quick, easy vegan recipes in petaDishoom’s “Do It Yourself” section, and there is info about restaurants with great vegan options in our “Foodie” section. You can also check out our list of vegan goodies available in India in our “You Mean, That’s Vegan?” section.
As for your parents, millions have gone through this before, and we all have different stories to tell. Remember that you are not alone. Be firm and be strong – animals are depending on you. Let your parents know that being vegan is something that you are passionate and knowledgeable about. We believe any initial resistance you meet will start to fade away as your parents realise that you are serious about not eating animals. Tell them to visit www.MeetYourMeat.com if they have any questions. Good luck!
Can you tell me if there are any protests coming up in my area?
We regularly send out alerts to Street Teamers about demonstrations and other events in their local area. In order to receive these, you must sign up for the Street Team.
