Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Our civil liberties and animals' lives hang in the balance, please join us for one of the most important weekends of action in social justice history! for more details visit http://www.shac7.com/october/ " The ultimate measure of a community is not where it stands in times of comfort and convenience, but where it stands in times of challenge and controversy. " -Martin Luther King Jr. On the weekend of October 23rd – 25th, SHAC USA is asking you to take that stand with us against Huntingdon Life Sciences. We've stood together under the blaze of an Arkansas sun, and froze together in a New Jersey winter. We've stood shoulder to shoulder across the country in literally hundreds of demonstrations and stood in solidarity with allies in 18 other countries. We've stood triumphantly as this movement has literally knocked the wind out the vivisection industry, decimated the value of the lab by 90%, and brought us to the cusp of Huntingdon's closure. On this late October weekend SHAC USA is asking that everyone make that sacrifice again to converge and stand in gateway to hell, HLS, and renew that commitment to see Huntingdon's closure and the glimmer of hope it will offer animals in labs everywhere. Two large and stunningly visual rallies are being organized for the 23rd of October. History and inspiration will meet on the 24th of October as incredible social justice speakers share their stories and words of encouragement. Connecting human liberation and animal rights will take center stage in Trenton on the 25th of October as we join other social justice causes to rally, march, and denounce the unconstitutional, chilling, and unacceptable assault of animal rights activists vis-à-vis the SHAC7 indictments. Even if you are busy or broke – please make that sacrifice to join hundreds of other activists to advocate for compassion. Take time off from work or school, take out a loan (or cut-back on luxury items), and take whatever steps you need to be there. It is time we show the entire vivisection world that when we stand together – they will fall apart. Again, please visit http://www.shac7.com/october for further details, and thank you for your continued support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
