This girl is serious!

Hayden Panettiere will be in Washington D.C. this weekend to speak in behalf of "Save the Whales Again!" and boy, does she have a full schedule!

• Sunday January 27, 1 p.m. - Hayden will lead a rally in Washington D.C.’s Dupont Circle to protest commercial whaling. After the rally, she will speak at Georgetown University.
• Monday, January 28 - She will meet with representatives from the embassies of Japan, Norway and Iceland to question their outdated whaling practices.
• Tuesday, January 29, 1 p.m. - Hayden will speak at a press conference hosted by House of Representatives Natural Resources Committee Chair Nick Rahall (D-WV). She will be joined by Rahall and Senator John Kerry (DMA) in urging the US Government to reinstate its former leadership role protecting whales from commercial slaughter. An evening reception with Members of Congress and their staff is the final stop on her trip.

Says Hayden: "Whales face increasing threats from climate change, ship strikes, entanglement in nets, and chemical and noise pollution… I am looking forward to talking with officials who actually make and carry out our policies, as well as fellow young people who will be voting in the upcoming election — I want our voice to be heard."

And people are finally listening.
