Upcoming Portland Activism Events

Reminding and announcing:

 

Let Live Activism Series #2:

Skin Trade with Shannon Keith

When: 11/23, 1 pm

Where: PSU, Smith Memorial Union, Room 238

 

With colder weather comes fur season. It starts appearing on racks in stores and on peoples backs around town. Most people don't know what cruelty goes into their clothes as even fakes are often real dog and cat fur. With this in mind, and with the annual Fur Free Friday demonstrations coming up fast, we welcome acclaimed activist and director Shannon Keith who will be sharing segments of her new film Skin Trade, which is in production. Shannon is an animal and civil rights attorney, and the director of the award winning film, Behind the Mask. She is a regular speaker at animal rights conferences around the country and will be discussing the fur industry, her film, and leading a discussion about what we can all do to combat this cruel fashion. This discussion will cover audience member questions as well as how to combat industry arguments, outreach and education tips, and online activism options, amongst other topics.

 

Pretty please show up and learn a bit and make Shannon feel welcome.

 

Then, on (Fur Free) Friday....

 

From IDA:

"Join us for a peaceful, police-escorted march through the streets of downtown Portland to educate shoppers about the cruelty behind the fur trade. We will stop in front of the downtown stores that sell fur.

 

Friday, November 28th

11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Gather at the corner of SW Yamhill and SW Broadway in front of Nordstrom downtown Portland, Oregon.

 

For more information call 503-249-9996 x3."

 

Yay! Portlanders will show up to these events in record numbers! No need for free snacks or gimics! Just showing up to learn and try a little bit to make the world a better place for all involved!
