Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 This past week, 14,083 copies of Vegan Outreach material were distributed at 14 events across California. Eleven schools and three concerts in three different cities were covered by nine individuals. See the list at the end of the email for the specifics. There were many inspiring stories this week. Sue Rattenbury related an encounter at Solano Community College, showing the dedication of people to veganism once they learn about the horrific lives of farmed animals: “A young woman said she was mostly veg, but had to eat eggs. We talked about egg production. She changed her mind and became very excited that she could give up eggs. She could not physically cook for herself, but could instruct her caregivers to do it for her and could use the Internet to find recipes.” Our work intersects, building on each other, reinforcing the message that eating meat, dairy and eggs contributes to unnecessary cruelty. One woman at the Beyonce concert asked us if we knew Colleen Patrick-Goudreau (of Compassionate Cooks); she wanted extra copies of literature to distribute at church. Outreach is like this; no matter where we are, we can do our part to educate those in the circle around us about veganism. As people hear this message again and again over time, eventually they will experience the aha! moment and end their participation in these exploitive industries. Just as we save lives every time we choose not to eat meat, egg and dairy products, we can save lives in every part of our day by actively talking to everybody we meet about veganism. I am leafleting throughout Northern California. If you would like to join this ongoing education effort, contact me and I'll let you know when I'll be in your area. Or, if you'd like to strike out on your own, contact me and I'll give you all the information you need to get started. I hope to hear from you; only when we all wield our personal power and speak up against oppression will there be meaningful change for the lives of non-human animals. Together, we can effect great change in this world in this lifetime. Thank you to the many people who chose to do this work this week. This was a big week of outreach and, through your efforts, many people were given the chance to say “no” to the exploitation of animals.
