For Immediate Release:

Portland's ever growing front of vegan businesses have again banded together to reward their patrons with "classic" cinema for a good cause. On the last Tuesday of the month we will be showing a special presentation of one of the greatest cinematic achievements of the 90's; Office Space. This event is to benefit the legal struggle of the SHAC 7 (www.shac7.com).

The SHAC 7 are animal rights activists indicted under the controversial Federal Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. The charges stem from these activists' alleged participation in an international campaign to close the notorious product testing lab Huntingdon Life Sciences (www.shac.net). These activists are alleged to have operated a website that reported on and expressed ideological support for protest activity against Huntingdon and its business affiliates.

Exercising a right to free speech has charged them with "terrorism" and they now face an aggregate of 23 years in Federal Prison. The SHAC 7 case is the latest in an onslaught of attacks against domestic dissidents under the guise of fighting terrorism. This case is intended to pave the way for further silencing of activists involved in all issues.

To show support of this organization and the greater cause of free speech in whatever outlet, Food Fight! Vegan Grocery, Herbivore magazine, Veloshop Bike Shop, Veganopolis Cafeteria, and the Tube Bar will be sponsoring a screening of Mike Judge's hilarious depiction of the plight of the working person on Tuesday March 29th at the historic Hollywood theater beginning at 7:30pm. Josh Harper of the SHAC 7 will be on hand to speak and answer questions. This event will carry a suggested donation of $5.
