Shameway Leafleting: Experiences for the Mind, Body & Soul

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

My informal poll on appropriate times for the Shameway leafleting yielded

five responses with five totally different answers. Since I self-identify as

an anarchist, and am loathe to make autocratic decisions, I'm going to mix

it up a bit. Here are the leafleting times & places for the next three

weeks. We'll see what works and what doesn't and make decisions from there.

 

1. Sunday, April 28th, 1 pm - 2:30 pm (after the Herbivore brunch!), Safeway

at Church & Market in San Francisco

 

2. Sunday, May 5th, 2 pm - 3:30 pm (after our teach-in at Cell Space in San

Francisco; video screening & panel discussion featuring Bruce Friedrich of

PETA - details on teach-in to follow in subsequent email), Safeway at Church

& Market in San Francisco

 

3. Saturday, May 11th, 10:30 am - 11:45 am (just before Polly's party),

Safeway at College & Claremont in Berkeley

 

4. No leafleting on Sunday, May 12th.

 

5. Thursday, May 16th, 12:15 pm - 1:30 pm: HUGE DEMONSTRATION at Safeway

Shareholder Meeting at San Ramon Marriott. Important Note: Six of the eight

spots on the Shameway cheerleading squad have been filled, including a

blonde-wig-flouncing, makeup-donning, cross-dressing, glitter-glamming

trumpet player in a skirt and pom poms. Kelle Kacmarcik has purchased the

fabric for the skirts (little flare numbers in red & white) and the pom

poms. We're working on the letters. If you've always entertained a secret

desire to be a cheerleader, this is your chance! We will also have a huge

banner from PETA, and lots of wonderful, upbeat, rousing activities to keep

us entertained. Please consider taking an extra-long lunch hour for this

event. We will be organizing carpools. Be part of history as the animal

rights movement pressures the first international grocery chain to take

responsibility for the living and dying conditions of farmed animals. Need

more motivation? Check out the videos on http://www.shameway.com

 

While we debate the efficacy of different tactics, this tactic (of

pressuring corporations to guarantee that their suppliers will institute

better animal welfare conditions) has a proven track record of three for

three (McDonald's, Burger King & Wendy's). Hope to see many of you at the

upcoming events!

 

Best regards,

Alka

Arghh!

 

I thought I'd checked and double-checked this email. Please note that

Polly's party is on Sunday, May 12th and not on Saturday, May 11th.

Accordingly, the demo for that weekend will be on Sunday, May 12th, from

10:30 am to 11:45 am, at the Safeway in Berkeley at College and Claremont

(as per Polly's email). So sorry for any confusion.

 

Regards,

Alka
