Hi everyone,

 

Is anyone interested in walking with me for the animals this Sunday in the Corte Madera 4th of July parade in the Social Justice Center of Marin contingent? Also, might you also be interested in attending a sign making party this Saturday in San Anselmo between11AM –4PM?

 

Background:

 

I’ve been working with my local peace and justice coalition (Marin Peace & Justice Coalition) to introduce animal rights issues into their language and scope. Response has been extremely positive. We meet every Monday evening and I try to always have an animal issue or action for them to learn about or do. Many people have been coming up and individually thanking me for doing what I’m doing. They have a weekly email newsletter and in it they have begun including our local weekly KFC protest. Three coalition members came out to protest with us this past week. Tonight I emphasized that they did not need to be vegetarian to come out and protest KFC’s cruel treatment of chickens. In time I hope to see more of these wonderfully dedicated people come out to the street to speak up for the animals with me. I also drafted a letter in support of SB 1520 and the group approved it, the co-chairs signed it and I faxed and sent it to Sacramento. The Marin Peace and Justice Coalition appeared in the analysis in support of SB1520 and I was able to speak up on behalf of them in support of the bill at the Assembly meeting this past June 22. I encourage others to get involved with your local peace groups and help educate them to open their language and scope to include the plight of animals. MPJC is also going to be teaming up with an AR group and an environmental group to table together at the Green Festival in SF this November. We are going to work together with these groups to create literature and visuals that integrate the issues for humans, animals and the environment. I am very excited about going through that process. And this 4th of July the MPJC and the Social Justice Center of Marin are going to be marching in the Corte Madera 4th of July parade. The MPJC contingent is focusing on the Patriot Act. The Social Justice Center of Marin has voted to welcome AR activists to walk with signs in their contingent. I told them I would be happy to have them review before hand. The parade is a family event and so do not want bloody visuals. Can anyone walk with me/us???

 

I look forward to hearing from you!
