Hey! This is our first blog and first blog entry, so bear with us (or is that bare with us?) as we work to figure it all out. Please don’t hesitate to leave us suggestions and comments on what we can do to improve our blog! Thanks!
For our first entry, we decided to show ya some of pics from our last 3 years – we recently celebrated our 3rd anniversary with a few dozen friends, supporters, and colleagues here in our new office in Chelsea. It was so much fun!
LibNow – Nov 2004: Washington, DC : Isn’t this pic cute? It’s PETA founder and prez Ingrid Newkirk with a group of students from PA (Penn State, we think). Ingrid will be speaking at the upcoming Liberation Now! conference in Berkeley again!
LibNow – Nov 2004: Washington, DC : Check out how the pic captured the “Help End Their Misery…One Bite At A Time” just as it was playing on the TV. We think that’s really cool. (yeah, we’re dorks.)
LibNow – Feb 2004: Berkeley, CA : It’s always so hard to get “crowd pics” to show the hundreds of peeps at LibNow, this is not too bad, dontcha think? Oh, and the speaker is Steven Wise, past prez of the Animal Legal Defense Fund and author of Rattling the Cage.
Demand Liberation – Feb 2004: New York City : It was Valentine’s Day and we were out in force after the NYC Demand Liberation regional action conference to urge Kentucky Fried Cruelty to have a heart and stop torturing chickens. THOUSANDS of New Yorkers were educated about KFC’s extreme cruelty and tons of them gave us thumbs-up and honked in support!!! Oh, and we ran out of all of the thousands of literature we brought with us!
We’ll be doing Demand Liberation: Regional Student Animal Rights Action Conferences in five cities all over the country – in Austin, TX, Boston, MA, Gainesville, FL, Minneapolis, MN, and Philadelphia, PA. Check out http://www.DemandLiberation.com – hope to see ya there!!!
Demand Liberation – Feb 2004: New York City : Another pic from inside the NYC conference. Oooh, she’s wearing that “Please Don’t Eat Me…” shirt from Urban Outfitters!
Demand Liberation – Feb 2004: Chicago : On the way to protest KFC after the Chicago conference. Look at all the pretty faces!
Demand Liberation – Feb 2004: Chicago : KFC Tortures Chickens!!!
