Kickoff Party Tuesday Night 10/2 for Ballot Campaign to Help Farm Animals!

[Guest guest]

Hello!

 

 

 

The kickoff to the ballot initiative some of you have been hearing about for

weeks or months is finally almost here!

 

 

 

Please join me, as well as the fantastic CEO of the Humane Society of the United

States, Wayne Pacelle, and many local activists Tuesday night October 2 from

7-10pm at the SF-SPCA for the kickoff party to learn about the effort to pass

perhaps the most significant law ever for animals in this country!

 

October will begin an amazing ballot initiative process to outlaw the cruel

confinement of calves raised for veal, pigs used for breeding, and egg-laying

hens, in California. Currently, these animals are kept in such small cages or

crates on factory farms that they cannot even turn around.

 

WE NEED YOUR HELP to gather 650,000 signatures in the state in a period of five

months (starting in October) in order to get the measure on the ballot!

 

Learn more at the campaign kickoff:

 

Tuesday October 2, 7-10pm

 

San Francisco-SPCA

 

2500 16th St.

 

(about a 15 minute walk from 16th St. BART in the Mission District of San

Francisco.)

 

 

 

The kickoff will be a great opportunity for you to learn more about the

campaign, find out how you can help, and get connected with people in your area.

Other kickoffs will be taking place next week in Sacramento, LA, and San Diego

as well. Details for these are at the end of this email. Please forward this to

people in those (and this!) area!

 

 

 

You can still be involved in the campaign without attending the kickoff, but

Tuesday evening will really explain a lot and leave you excited and inspired to

get started volunteering!

 

 

 

Email me with any questions. If you haven't already, please also email me if you

know that you want to be in some way involved in the campaign--particularly if

you cannot make it on Tuesday.

 

 

 

This will be a fun and inspiring night! Hope to see many of you there!

" True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only

when its recipient has no power. Humanity's true moral test, its fundamental

test, consists of its attitude toward those who are at its mercy: animals. And

in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so

fundamental that all others stem from it. "

~Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
