Catherine Reda | Becoming an Activist

How do you go from bystander to activist? Catherine Reda did just that, and set up an e-petition to ban the sale of fur in the UK. Just before the deadline, the petition reached the 100,000 signatures it needed to be considered for a debate in parliament. With the debate just around the corner, I talk with Catherine about her experience of setting up and running a campaign.
