Are we gonna see you all there?
From Connie at IDA Portland:
"This is a REMINDER to ask you to mark your calendar for the annual Fur Free Friday march!
Starting (and ending) at Schumacher Furs, IDA will host a peaceful, police-escorted anti-fur march in the streets of downtown Portland, which will pass all the downtown stores that sell fur.
This Fur Free Friday marks the one-year anniversary of highly publicized, weekly demonstrations outside the Schumacher Fur Store.
What: Fur Free Friday march
When: Friday, November 24th - meet at 11:30 am - March begins promptly at noon
Where: Corner of SW 9th and SW Morrison, downtown Portland
Also, IDA has a 30 second advertisement about the fur industry scheduled to air on KPTV FOX 12 starting Sunday, November 19th thru Thursday, November 23rd. I don?t have the exact airtime for Sunday but the exact airtimes for Monday thru Thursday during Good Day Oregon are:
Monday, November 20th 7:27:15 AM
Tuesday, November 21st 8:43:30 AM
Wednesday, November 22nd 8:14:15 AM
Thursday, November 23rd 8:59:00 AM
Please watch for it and thank you to everyone who donated to help get this aired.
After the march, activists can join IDA in a Fur-Free Party on the sidewalk outside Schumachers--complete with vegan cake--to celebrate this hugely successful, ongoing anti-fur campaign. And then come back to Schumachers, 811 SW Morrison, every Saturday
from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. for our weekly outreach!
March Route:
Start at SW 9th & SW Morrison, head west to 13th Street, head south to Yamhill, head east to 4th Street, head north to Morrison, head west on Morrison and end up where we started.
