Congressman Dennis Kucinich has announced his intention to introduce a bill to repeal AETA. Once that takes place, we will need an avalanche of e-mails and phone calls to individual Members of Congress in search of co-sponsors. More information on AETA and talking points are available at the Equal Justice Alliance (EJA) website. Visit the Equal Justice Alliance website to find out more.
Among the many exciting highlights, Representative Dennis Kucinich gave a special address. At the Awards Banquet, Zoe Weil, founder of the Institute for Humane Education, was inducted into the U.S. Animal Rights Hall of Fame. Anthony Marr, who has conducted several nationwide tours to stimulate grassroots activism, received the Henry Spira Grassroots Animal Activist Award. Niki Gianni from Chicago was selected as the Young Animal Activist. Check out the full report & photo gallery at www.ARConference.org.

FARM Heroes Here we feature key supporters of FARM and the animal rights movement.
Sarah Hench joined FARM as Membership Director last fall after a couple of years in fundraising for drug policy reform. She holds a degree in international studies & political science and has been vegan for three years. Sarah is the the one to call for guidance on bequests or other donations to FARM.
Jamie Kordack & David Merrick have volunteered as the video coordinators for the AR National Conference for the past 6 years. Jamie has been helping animals since the mid-'80's, but her activism really took off after her first conference in 2001. David became vegetarian in 2007, then vegan after his first AR conference in 2008. They've also hosted two New England Animal Rights Conferences and taught vegan cooking classes. About FARM FARM, Farm Animal Rights Movement, is a national nonprofit 501(c)(3) public-interest group advocating vegan lifestyle and animal rights. FARM is supported by donations from caring people like you. Donations support our work directly because we raise our own funds and our overhead is less than 5%. We operate from the nation's capital through a network of local activists. Join FARM @ |
