Writing around town: a special LWP at the Bay Leaf

[Guest guest]

When: Saturday, March 25, 7:00pm

Where: Bay Leaf Cafe, Palo Alto (520 Ramona St.)

 

I am excited to announce our monthly Palo Alto Letter Writing Party with Bay

Area

Vegetarians. Over some of the best food in the Bay Area, we will advocate for

animals in

letters to businesses and elected officials.

For the first time, the focus will be on local issues. Undoubtedly, we live

in one of the

most progressive and veg-friendly areas in the United States. Yet it often seems

that local

businesses fall short when it comes to responsible treatment of animals. On

Saturday

evening we will consider a range of important questions. Do any bay area grocers

lag

behind in animal welfare standards? How well do our elementary schools

accommodate

vegetarian students? Do any local restaurants boil lobsters alive? We will fuse

our power as

local citizens and consumers to improve the lives of our many voiceless friends.

Novices, gurus, vegans, and non-vegetarians are all welcome. You should also

feel free to

bring any issues that you feel strongly about.

Bay Area Vegetarians also holds letter writing parties in Berkeley and San

Francisco. For
