New York Activists Needed

[Wanda]

A friend on mine in Holland is involved in the Meat the Truth project.
It's a movie that will premiere in New York on May 17th.
You can find more information about the movie - including a trailer - at this link:
http://www.meatthetruth.com/index.html

They are looking for local activists who would be able to help distribute flyers before/during the movie premiere.
They will provide the flyers and optional pig suits that activists can wear.
If you are able to help or know activists that would be able to help, please contact me so I can get you in touch with them.

I'm in, though I've never done any activist work. I'm assuming it's in NYC, and if so, where abouts?

[Wanda]

It's probably in NYC. I'll send you my friend's email, so you can contact him directly.
There are some pictures and information from the premiere in California at this link.
If I lived closer by, I'd participate too!

This is a possibility as I'm close to NYC, plus if I can get a hold of fliers I'll put them up around wherever I go. Hm I'll look more into it maybe I'll be there in May!

They provide carbon savings tables on their website, but I'm not seeing any fliers, and the tables don't look very eye-catching.
Maybe you could design one?

hm possibly, Sarabi, said my vegan week fliers that I made were effective, hm... I found an English version of the film with Portuguese subtitles if any of you are as impatient as I am. http://video.google.com/googleplayer...PT&fs=true

Small update. The flyering will apparently be done at the Veggie Pride Parade, which is happening that same day.

[terem]

Oh cool, I've never heard of the Veggie Pride Parade.

Oh, and I sent Alex an email a week ago and still no response...

[Wanda]

He told me nobody had sent him an email yet.
So I guess the address I gave isn't working.
I'll give him a link to this thread, so he can take over from here.

[terem]

Okay then, no worries!

Hello, I'm alex

We've got a lot of e-mails from people who are interested in helping. The e-mailaddress is not my own mailaddress so I asked today if there were emails in the inbox about it. So they checked it. I saw your e-mail also Terem.

I only help a little in my busy schedule with this project, so I am not the one who is going to answer the e-mails. I asked the person who will do that to reply as soon as possible to the people who want to help with more details. So I think you will get a reply soon.

I also heard that they have contact with the organisation of the veggie pride parade.

If I get more information, I will post it here.

I might be able to do it, though I've also never done activist work - let me know who to contact, thanks!

[Vegantastic]

You can contact info@ngpf.nl for more details.
