The 10 Women Campaign is a performance event that builds a bridge

between women in the arts and civic life. The campaign is an evening

with performances by Flyaway Productions and various guest artists,

followed by an intimate, personal acceptance speech by each of the

awardees. Those who attend gain tremendous insight into the

motivation and issues important to each woman that we honor. We also

host a pre-event reception where you are invited to meet and talk

with the awardees face to face.

 

This year we will honor ten women " Truth-Tellers " for their honesty,

commitment to fight hypocrisy in their own sphere of influence and

dedication to principled communication and service. " Truth-Telling'

is the inspiration for Flyaway's upcoming new work, called " Lies You

Can Dance To. "

 

The campaign awards are presented by 10 leading women in the San

Francisco dance/performance community. Through this aspect of the

campaign, we are encouraging dance as a vehicle for community

gathering. We also hope to bring visibility to female leadership

inherent to (but often overlooked in) the Bay Area's contemporary

dance community. Bay Area women in dance have and are continuing to

forge substantial pathways for artistic creation, mentoring, and

community building.

Your Call 102507 The Mad Cowboy

 

What can we learn about the meat and dairy industry from a Montana

farmer who also happens to be a vegan? On the next Your Call, we

talk with Howard Lyman, the fourth generation rancher who rose to

fame after he and Oprah were sued by the cattle industry for

libeling beef, a crime in Texas. They won the suit. Lyman is now on

a crusade to change food safety policies and end our addiction to

meat. What would a world of vegetarians look like? What would happen

to livestock if we all became vegan? It's Your Call with Rose

Aguilar and you.

I need to put my opinions below in a blog, can anyone suggest, where I should

post it?

 

after we get 600,000 signatures to get a ballot on not caging food animals...

The multimillion dollar attorneys from the meat industry can easily inform the

public that our cost of meat will increase and can be at much as 3 folds...

 

more than 95% of the population are meat eaters , the rest are vegetarians....

 

we are definately the minority, i think this our chance to educate folks as much

as possible that they don't need meat.

What I'm trying to say is, I personally think passing the bill would be hard....

but lots of friends are tryinggood luck on saving animals. I'm definately for

the animals...

I went to a 84 person catered party in Berkeley

 

this is what people ordered

 

29 fish

29 chicken

19 beef

7 vegetarian, and not everyone were vegetarian folks

 

that means 92% order meat and 8% ordered vegetarian meals.

 

My date and I chose the vegan meal. (it looked the best and it was great-stir

fry veggies in teriyaki sauce)

 

Obeserving from the above dinner choices, we can tell people LOVE their meat!

in other parts of the States it's meat every meal!

 

No wonder, there's so little vegetarian restaurants out there and so many of

those restaurants are going out of business....

thanks for listening, I'm so upset that people don't know where their meat comes

from and don't want to know either!
