Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Friends of Freedom: In forty days two vegans (whom we assume have hearts of gold) aregoing to trial against two charges of violating the Animal EnterpriseTerrorism Act. As it stands, they are still $2,000 short of the 10grand they need to cover their lawyer. The trial was pushed backbecause all of the vegans and anti-authoritarians in America could notraise a measly $10,000 to pay for their legal fees. The AETA is trying to kill our movement because they know that we area threat not only to the profits of animal exploiters, but a threat tothe ideology of domination itself. If we let these people go downwithout the support they need then we’re killing the momentum of ourmovement....The veganism we want isn’t centered around vegan speciality products,it’s about supporting people who do the day to day work of challengingthe fucked up horror show that animals are forced to live in. There’sa lot of people buying soy products because they know that animalexploitation is wrong, and if we gave just one percent of that tothese beautiful people than we’d have more than enough money to covertheir legal fees. You can’t win a revolution through consciousconsumption, but you can win a revolution with mutual aid andsolidarity. As vegans there is only so much good we can do bybuying soy products and wearing canvas shoes, so skip the Soy Dreamthis week and spend your five dollars on building a real movementwhere we can depend on one another and fight together....For more information on the case and making donations, check out: http://http://www.supportbjandalex.com/http://www.myspace.com/supportbjandalex -- full story:http://news.infoshop.org/article.php?story=20090618173524482 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
