Volunteer to organize protest of dairy at S.F. Green Festival?

[Guest guest]

I've been wanting to campaign against Horizon Organic Dairy Farm's continued

presence at the S.F. Green Festival, including their irresponsible targeting of

children. But I'm a bit overwhelmed as I don't have much free time and am

currently fighting cruelty at the live animal markets and a few other campaigns.

Is anyone interested in taking this on? I'm thinking it would just be a matter

of getting people to contact the Green Festival organizers, and staging a

protest/leafleting at the festival itself in November to bring awareness to the

environmental, animal welfare, and health issues with dairy.

 

Thanks,

 

Andrew

I second the motion. While SFVS has been and will continue to be at The Green

Festival and while the Festival itself is only offering veg food to buy, I am

uncomfortable that meat is there as vendor offerings.

Great idea. Count me in, but I would suggest a general education campaign rather than

one targeting a single supplier. Another thought is to go positive with the benefits of soy or

other forms of milk. -terry in santa clara --- On Fri, 5/22/09, Andrew <andy94103 wrote:

This is a reply from Alan, in charge of Exhibitors at Green Festival. He drives

a car that runs on veg oil, just like me, and I've been in touch with him since

the beginning. (I think he's also a veg, sorry I forgot such an important info)

 

he said:

 

FYI, only once has the Green Festival had Horizon Dairy as a Partner, 4 years

ago. They had their first scandal right afterwards and we switched to Organic

Valley which has been our Kids Zone Partner for the 14 GF events since.

So, Andrew,

if you want me to forward your private email to Green Festival, I can do that

for you

Is anyone interested
