WWAIL events in the Bay Area

[Guest guest]

World Week for Animals in Laboratories is quickly approaching!

This year promises to be an eventful one, as activists from all

over the West Coast converge in the Bay Area to take a stand

against animal experimentation.

On Saturday, April 20, from 10a.m.- 6p.m., Animal Rights Direct

Action Coalition (ARDAC) will be hosting an anti-vivisection

conference at the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists,

1924 Cedar Street (at Bonita) in Berkeley. Come hear experts

and activists, including IDA's own Matt Rossell, speak out on

vivisection, activism, and the notorious animal testing lab,

Huntingdon Life Sciences.

Join ARDAC and hundreds of activists from around the country

again on Monday, April 22, for a march against Huntingdon Life

Sciences collaborators beginning at 11a.m., at One Market St. in

San Francisco.

Then, on Tuesday, April 23, Berkeley Organization for Animal

Advocacy (BOAA) presents " Beyond Animal Experimentaion at

UC Berkeley, " a teach-in with IDA's own Erin Williams. This

event begins at 7p.m. at 204 Wheeler, on the UC Berkeley

campus.

Everyone is also encouraged to join BOAA in a demonstration at

Sproul Plaza on the UC Berkeley campus from 11a.m. - 2p.m. on

Wednesday, April 24, located at Sather Gate Crescent on the UC

Berkeley campus.

On Thursday, April 25, join In Defense of Animals at the regional

EPA headquarters (75 Hawthorne St., San Francisco) from

11a.m. - 1p.m. to protest their unnecessary and cruel animal

experiments. Later that night, BOAA will be holding vigil outside

of the Northwest Animal Facility in UC Berkeley. Please wear

black clothing if you plan on attending the vigil.

Then on Saturday, April 27, join the Physicians Committee for

Responsible Medicine (PCRM) in a peaceful protest against the

March of Dimes at their annual fundraiser, WalkAmerica, which

has donated over $1 billion to research programs that include

animal testing. Gather at 7:45a.m. in the Lakeside Park area of

Lake Merritt, at Grand and Bellevue in Oakland.

Please plan on attending any and every event you can. This is a

great opportunity to fight for the millions of animals who are

tortured for needless " experiments " every year. See you there!
