So, we just got a call from our pal Aaron. His pal Emily just rescued 2 birds, a cockatiel and a parakeet from a shitty situation, but she can't really keep them. Anybody want to help out? If so, please call Aaron at 904-309-0931. Thanks.

Hey you, yeah you in the MidWest....

From yesterday's email bulletin. We're counting on you folks. Really. Click
the link and read the whole thing and jump in with questions or whatever.
"Hello friendlies, we know we’ve been coming hard and fast with the bulletins lately, and we truly appreciate your understanding and support. Lots going on!
This one is a little different for us but just as important as any delivery of vegan donuts or new candy bar, believe that. We just found out about some jerky types coming to town next weekend and we're trying (along with Herbivore and IDA) to get as many folks as we can together to help with an outreach event. The circus is coming to town and most otherwise compassionate and caring folks don’t know about the abuses going on. Basically, we want to let people know that those lions and elephants don’t want to jump through flaming hoops and aren’t being treated well.
We'd like to get a ton of you folks out there with us to hand out information to circus-goers. This is going to be a family friendly educational outreach event, not one of your more marchy, chanty, sign hoisting type affairs. Bring the kids! We want to show that Portland doesn’t want cruelty as entertainment and the more of us that show up to demonstrate that, the less likely the circus will be back next year.
Take a gander at these details...."

Ok, so the
Shriner Circus is coming to town on March 31st and April 1st. We're going to try and see what's going on with protests and such, and maybe we can all get together and make it all big and powerful and stuff. I mean, geez, most people should be able to see how circuses are fucked and unnecessary, right?
For now, you can do what I just did while walking to work. There are tons of circus fliers around, posted illegally on telephone poles and such. Tear those fuckers down. Sadly, lots of local businesses have them in their windows too. Might be a nice opportunity to ask the shop-keep to take them down or at least let you put up some anti-circus info up. We have a stack of PETA circus stuff here you can have. (we know, you hate PETA, but it's some free literature, so...)
Ok troops.
Get mad and get to work.
ps. Also, some places have piles of free tickets for kids lying around. Not saying you should do anything with those or anything, but they do fit nicely in ones pocket and then into a recycling bin.

In addition to other folks getting the shit end of the stick lately, Josh Harper is now "in the hole" for the time being. Not sure how long, and he doesn't know why. Most of his letters were probably thrown away too, so... it's a bummer. Drop him a line to cheer him up. C'mon, just something quick and dumb. You can do it.

"I wanted to let you know that IDA is going to have a table set up and will be passing out information on Sunday, from noon-5pm, during the peace rally. They are looking for volunteers to help pass out information and such. From my understanding, they don't have many volunteers lined up. So you may want to post something encouraging people to go down and help out. They are meeting at 11am to set up, but I'm sure they would welcome volunteers throughout the day. I don't know the exact location of the table, but it will be in the south Park blocks. People could also contact Matt. I think this is his contact information: matt@idausa.org, 503-249-9996 Ext. 2."

"Fearlessness in those without power is maddening to those who have it."
First, read this newish post from Lauren Gazzola and get pumped.
Then, write a letter to her and
Andy and
Jake (and everybody else too). Lauren and Andy are both being barred from using the phone for the next 6 months. And Jake is on 24 hour a day lockdown for the next couple of weeks at least. So, yeah, letters are needed to help keep them sane.
Thanks.

Check this new campaign from COK and Vegan Outreach. A quick call, or a few thousand of them from caring folks, might make a difference.
