Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 Announcement for the list: This is just a frienly reminder that the discounted $140 registration fee for Animal Rights 2002, our movement's annual conference, rises to $160 on May 15. Some discounts and work scholarships are still available. Please visit http://www.animalrights2002.org for information and registration. Please note that, because of the hallway congestion and the attendant fire hazard, we may have to cut off registration at 1,000, and we expect to reach that number early next month. Hotel rooms are already getting scarce on some nights. The conference will be held between June 28 - July 3 at the Mclean (VA) Hilton (same place as the past two years), near the nation's capital. The program will follow last year's pattern, including plenary sessions, workshops, 'rap' sessions, campaign reports, videos, and exhibits, as well as Newcomer Orientation, planning meetings, group workouts, Employment Clearinghouse, and Awards Banquet. However several new features are being considered, including Networking Receptions, Q & A sessions with movement leaders, Industry Panel, intensive comunication seminars, and a March on Washington. 130 speakers have already signed up, including Carol Adams, Neal Barnard, the Baustons, Alan Berger, Theo Capaldo, Robert Cohen, Karen Davis, Ray Greek, Michael Greger, Holly Hazard, Alex Hershaft, Steve Hindi, Elliot Katz, John Kullberg, Howard Lyman, Mike Markarian, Jim Mason, Ingrid Newkirk, Wayne Pacelle, Tom Regan, Craig Rosebraugh, Peter Singer, Kim Stallwood, Joyce Tischler, Paul Watson, and Zoe Weil. Major supporting organizations are Alley Cat Rescue, American Anti-Vivisection Society, Animal Legal Defense Fund, Animal Protection Institute, Animals Agenda, Dairy Education Board, Doris Day Animal League, FARM, Farm Sanctuary, Fund for Animals, HSUS, In Defense of Animals, National Anti-Vivisection Society, New England Anti-Vivisection Society, PETA, PCRM, United Poultry Concerns, and Veg News. Be there for the animals, and bring a friend. Pass the word to your e-mail correspondents. Let the attendance reflect the strength of our movement! -- Thank you to all who helped with Meatout 2002. Now, let's work on promoting Animal Rights 2002! http://www.animalrights2002.org 1-888-FARM USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
