Vegan Video Brigade back in action - Market & Powell this Friday! !

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

After a short hiatus, the Vegan Video Brigade will be back in action this

Friday! We'll be at Market & Powell tomorrow evening from 7 pm 'till people

start complaining about the cold. If you haven't made it out to the V.V.B., you

owe it to yourself to come out. Not only is the V.V.B. a wonderful,

positive, non-threatening, fun way to do serious outreach and advocacy work for

veganism and animals, it's also a great experiment in sociology.

 

* Be amazed as large groups of people crowd around our television, responding

wildly to the images on PETA's Meet Your Meat video, urging their friends to

watch, and engaging our troops in dialogue about food choices.

 

* Feel disheartened (but smug) as frat boys, yuppies, and tourists from

Amarillo, Texas make annoying (but predictable) comments on how they get hungry

when they watch animals being slaughtered (really, who needs to take a sociology

course when you could just come out to the Vegan Video Brigade?).

 

* Feel pleased at the end of the evening after helping distribute hundreds of

leaflets (we typically go through 350 - 500 leaflets through an evening) turning

people onto food choices which are healthier for them, better for the

environment, and kinder to our fellow creatures.

 

What could be better?

 

7 pm. Market & Powell. Hope you can make it.

 

Cheers,

Alka
