Andronico's Day of Action this Saturday

 

On Saturday, August 12th, East Bay Animal Advocates will be

urging Andronico's to stop selling eggs from hens confined in

battery cages—wire enclosures so restrictive, the birds cannot

even walk or spread their wings. Donning banners and signs,

community members will distribute literature at all of

Andronico’s store locations in Berkeley and talk to customers

about the recently disclosed evidence of consumer deception and

animal cruelty from 10:30 AM - 2:30 PM.

 

Take a stand against cruelty this Saturday:

Advocate Focus: Karin Olsson

 

EBAA welcomes our newest volunteer, Karin Olsson, who is

coordinating the Advocacy Author Group. Karin, a graduate of the

University of Maryland, was introduced to activism by working

with social justice groups such as Food Not Bombs and Books to

Prisoners. She resides in San Francisco with her feline buddy,

Smokey, and works as an artist and letterpress printer. Karin's

commitment to animal advocacy was solidified when she started

spending time with farmed animals at Animal Place. By managing

EBAA’s letters-to-the-editor e-alerts, Karin is helping increase

public visibility of animal cruelty in California animal

agriculture and creating opportunities for individuals to develop

advocacy skills right from home. " I really admire the East Bay

Animal Advocates for their amazing work and tireless efforts on

behalf of the animals, " says Karin. " I am so thrilled to be

working with them. " She can be reached at

letters.
