[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

ANIMAL EVENT OF THE MILLENNIUM

 

This summer, I will be participating in the most

important animal rights conference of the year,

with nearly 1,000 other passionate attendees in

the Washington, DC area.

 

I invite you...no, I urge you to attend.

 

One of the speakers will be Vegan activist

Linda Blair (of exorcist fame). I heard

Linda speak two weeks ago at Farm

Sanctuary's New York City gala, and I

guarantee that she will have your heads

spinning during her keynote talk. There

will be other vegetarian celebrities

attending the conference as well.

 

More than 120 of the great authors, lecturers,

and activists of the animal rights movements will

be attending this conference and participating in

panel discussions. These people include some of

the best speakers I've ever heard, including Carol

Adams (author of " Sexual Politics of Meat " ),

Gene Bauston (Farm Sanctuary), Karen Davis

(United Poultry Concerns), Howard Lyman

(The Mad Cowboy), Alex Pacheco (Co-founder

of PETA), and Wayne Pacelle (of the Humane

Society).

 

The five-day program features five plenary

sessions, 86 workshops, 50 campaign reports,

and 16 'rap' sessions. Other functions include

75 exhibits, 100 videos, group workouts,

Newcomer Orientation, Affinity Meetings,

receptions, Awards Banquet, US Animal

Rights Hall of Fame, Employment

Clearinghouse, and Lobby Day.

I've just received my speaking schedule, and

will begin to manufacture my personal formula

of laryngitis lozenges in preparation for voice

overload.

 

I've been asked to speak 13 times during the

five-day conference. I am privileged to

be speaking with many of the philosophical

leaders of the animal rights movement, and

for me, this will be an incredible learning

experience. The following is a list of my

panel appearances and talks:
