Pen Still Kicks Sword's Butt

Chris and I hosted a Letter-To-The-Editor-Writing-Party yesterday evening and I'd like to think it was a smashing success.  We filled up on tasty vegan treats, learned about how (and why) to write effective letters, and applied what we learned to writing letters of our own. Check out some photos here. I want to thank everybody who joined us, especially Ernest for presenting the letter-writing workshop.  I hope everybody learned something, has a better understanding of...

Pressure Rises To Stop Antibiotics In Agriculture

An Associated Press article with this headline appeared in The Statesman last week (read the article).  It appears to be catching fire.  I typed the headline verbatim into Google and it returned an astonishing 539,000 results -- everyone from major outlets (ABC, CBS, et al) to tiny blogs is carrying the story.  Of course, little in this article is news to our readers (we have known about the devastating consequences of antibiotics in agriculture for a...

Thank you for the comment about the picture.

It would be awesome if you came to visit Sunny Day Farms!

Hi Errol, thanks for adding a section where we can posts animals in need. I appreciate it. Michelle

Hey bro, i noticed you leafleting too, good way to reach many quick and easily! IF you or others area able on short notice...


FYI my friend is leafleting ACL this weekend too, so plz post that too with my # 713-732-0034 for others to join him? Thanks alot, I will be gone the next few days volunteering in San Antonio.

keep in touch!

Thanks buddy,

In 2 weeks (13th-15th) I will be leafleting UTA, San Marcos colleges each day, if anyone wants to join me for awhile or all day that would be cool...

If you know how to and could post the information to get others to join me (learn, try it out...) that would be  helpful. I am unsure how to post the info on here? I will bring all the booklets. 

I don't know how to share my "blog" (so green at this) but please check it out and "vote" in the poll and if you have time please take action : )

Oops, just read that you placed a group order for t shirts, let me know if I owe you any chedda$ how was Dylan?
Thanks for posting for me. Did we decide to order AFA t shirts for next week? If not, I will just wear white. Also, should I make a poster or did Ernest find a few?

Hey!  It was nice meeting you too!  The plan is for everybody to either wear an AFA t-shirt or to just wear a white t-shirt.  We placed a group order a week or so ago and I just received them (sorry you missed out on that).  Word of warning: the ringer t-shirts run big!  You can order one from the cafepress site.  They're kind of pricey, but a good chunk of the purchase price goes to AFA, so it's mostly a donation.

Alternative: we also need volunteers to wear eye-catching black & white striped prisoner costumes.  Shari is bringing 5 for women (mini-dresses, basically) and 2 for men (with shorts).  Post to the forum (the Ringling topic) if you're interested.

Hi Errol,


It was nice to meet you at the meeting this Saturday.  I just wanted to confirm, are we all ordering the Action for Animals tee for the protest? I will order one from the website if it has been confirmed?

 

 

Thanks :)

Hi Errol, Thanks for coming out to the Austin Zoo benefit at the Carousel! We raised a nice little chunk + a shovel donated so I think of it as successful. I'm excited about that "Counter Culture Vegan Trailer" - next time I'm out that is where I'll be headed. I'm gonna check my schedule for the Circus leafletting as well...I do believe "times they are-a-changin" (going to se Bob Dylan Tuesday) and I feel even though the fight is far from over that it is for the better : )
