9/17, SF, Effective Communication for Veg*n Advocacy,

Family & Friends

 

 

 

Bay Area Vegetarians' Compassionate Living program examines and presents

information related to vegetarianism and living a compassionate lifestyle.

This event series usually monthly on the 2nd Sunday in San Francisco, but is

happening on the 3rd weekend this month.

 

 

This month's presentation will focus on effective communication strategies

and styles useful for everyday situations at work, at home, as well as

public outreach.

 

 

Our guest speaker is Nora Kramer, an experienced and passionate advocate for

animals. She volunteers with the Empathy Project and does humane education

presentations at local schools and runs the BAARN list, Bay Area Animal

Rights Network. Learn how she uses her voice to speak for the animals, and

how you can, too! Click

At this event we can certainly discuss questions that people still have

problems with, but it would be great to do more practicing and role playing

answering questions (if people feel comfortable), so it would be great

(though not necessary) for people to have a sense of some of the common

questions and answers ahead of time.

 

 

Whether you can make it to the event or not, please check out these FAQ

sites. <http://www.askcarla.com/Q & A-Vegan.asp?CategoryID=5 & Category=Veg>

Either way, being well informed and taking time to think through some common

questions can help make us better advocates for animals and

vegetarianism/veganism. (Remember: even if you don't consider yourself an

activist, like it or not, in the eyes of every carnivore who knows you and

asks you dumb (or not so dumb) questions about veg'ism, you are a veg

spokeperson.) So check out the FAQs!

 

 

Looking forward to working with folks to help us all become more confident,

articulate advocates for this important cause

 

 

 

Cheers,

Tammy
