California Leafleting Report: 9/3-9/9

[Guest guest]

Last week, 8,546 copies of Vegan Outreach material were distributed at 11 events

in eight cities across California by over nine individuals. See the list at the

end of the email for the specifics.

 

People respond to this literature in different ways. Some people go vegan

immediately, having understood the connection between cruelty and the

consumption of meat, dairy and eggs. Others may dismiss the pamphlet at first,

but, over time, get the courage to face the reality of their support of these

industries. Since the process takes time, we often do not receive immediate

feedback from the people we are offering leaflets. Every once in a while,

however, we reencounter people and they tell us how leafleting impacted them.

This week, for example, at the Power to the Peaceful concert, a leafleter

reported: “One person told me they had not eaten any meat since they got an EI

at a recent A's game (they didn't even read it, just saw the cover).”

 

And so it happens, bit by bit. As we educate people about the horrors of animal

agriculture, we end the ignorance that makes it acceptable to turn a blind eye

to the oppression of animals. There is no magic formula except for consistent,

dedicated, kind effort by all who have already opted out to let people see for

themselves what they already know: eating animals means killing animals and this

is just plain wrong.

 

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 past week. This was

a great week of outreach and through your efforts, thousands of people were

given the chance to say “no” to the exploitation of animals.
