[baarn] vegan ice cream social fundraiser on Memorial Day!

, BAARN Animal Rights <baarn >

 

 

 

 

Hello friends!

 

Celebrate Memorial Day and a day off from school or work by eating ice

cream, hanging out with awesome people in beautiful Dolores Park, and

contributing to Youth Empowered Action (YEA) Camp, an inspiring new summer

camp for young people interested in activism and social change.

 

Your $10 donation gets you a yummy cone of sustainably produced and

shockingly delicious, locally made Maggie Mudd ice cream and supports local

youth activists in making a difference! We'll be near 18th and Dolores.

RSVP'ing is helpful.

 

At YEA Camp, youth will work together to explore issues that they care

about; learn skills that they can apply to take effective action; be

inspired and supported by others who are as passionate as they are; and

leave relating to themselves as leaders with the knowledge, resources, and

skills to be able to change the world. Your donation will help make this

possible!

 

If the weather isn't nice, call or text me at 415-710-7351 to check in about

possible modifications of the plan!

 

We also now have fiscal sponsorship, so larger donations are welcome! If

you'd like to donate, you can do so at

http://www.yesworld.org/donations.htm- please let us know if you

donate so that we can notify YES to direct that

money to us. Our website will be launching, and we will be accepting

registrations, shortly. We'll keep you posted!

 

Hope to see you Monday!

think we should talk more about our empathy deficit - the ability to put

ourselves in someone else's shoes; to see the world through those who are

different from us - the child who's hungry, the laid-off steelworker, the

immigrant woman cleaning your dorm room.... "

its animals are treated. "
