[FoA] Philadelphia Alert: Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages – December Events

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages in Philadelphia

 

 

Please support our campaign to ban horse-drawn carriages in

Philadelphia by joining us for two events in December. On Saturday, December

5, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., we will join many cities throughout

the world to protest the carriage industry as part of Horses Without

Carriages International Day. Please meet us at the NW corner of 5th

and Chestnut St.

 

On Saturday, December 12, we will be leafleting in South Philly

from 10:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. Our last leafleting event was very

successful as we distributed almost 7,000 fliers, but we definitely

need more help to get through the rest of District 1. Additional

details for this event are included below.

 

Please e-mail brandon if you are able to attend

either of these two events.

 

 

Horse-Drawn Carriage Leafleting Event

 

 

We will be distributing information about our campaign to residents of

Councilmember Frank DiCicco's district (where the horse-drawn carriages

operate). We are requesting volunteers to walk through District 1 and

place handouts at the residents' doors. (We will not be knocking on

doors.) The goal is to provide valuable information about our campaign

and get as many people as possible to contact DiCicco to let him know

that a ban of horse drawn carriages is strongly supported. Volunteers

willing to travel from NYC or DC for this event should contact

brandon to request information about having a Bolt

Bus ticket reimbursed.

 

When: Saturday, December 12 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

(first shift is 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.; lunch is from 1:00 to 2:00

(free if you volunteer for both shifts); second shift is 2:00 to

5:00). Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your shift to

pick up flyers and a map – and for last minute instructions.

 

Where: We will meet at Mifflin Park in South Philly (6th

and Ritner) at the beginning of both shifts and for lunch. Please

bring a refillable water bottle (we will supply the water).
