“A Powerful Voice” Animal Rights Community Dialogue Series presents:
How can we best work together to achieve animal rights?
April 10, 1:30 - 4:30pm
Radha Yoga & Eatery
Register: http://apowerfulvoice.eventbrite.com
Come and join other like-minded activists to explore new and interesting ways of working together. This event will be a friendly conversation in a comfortable cafe-style setting.
Three topics will be chosen at the end of the meeting which will become the topics of the next three events in the series, which will likely be held in June, September, and November. The idea is to start to build systems of cooperation and collaboration that respect the work that we are all doing and our different goals, but enable us to work more effectively together.
Collaboration and cooperation can mean more than forming coalitions or merging organizations. There are lots of ways that we can all work together – and some no one may have thought of yet!
Radha will be providing their beautiful space for this event, so join us, grab a cup of chai, and let's get the conversation going.
If you are interested in attending, please register at http://apowerfulvoice.eventbrite.com. There is a $5 registration fee, and attendance is limited to 50 people, so please register soon.

Film screening - Meat the Truth (a documentary)
Where: Vancouver Public Library, downtown branch (Alma Vandussen room, lower level)
When: Saturday April 24, 2010, doors at 3:30pm, film starts at 4:00pm
The documentary Meat the Truth is the first major project undertaken by the Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation. Meat the Truth is a high-profile documentary, presented by Marianne Thieme (leader of the Party for the Animals), which forms an addendum to earlier films that have been made about climate change. Although such films have convincingly succeeded in drawing public attention to the issue of global warming, they have repeatedly ignored one of the most important causes of climate change, namely: intensive livestock production. Meat the Truth has drawn attention to this by demonstrating that livestock farming generates more greenhouse gas emissions worldwide than all cars, lorries, trains, boats and planes added together.
