The Foundations of a Movement 2005:
An Animal Rights Conference
Join Friends of Animals, during the weekend of 9-10 July in New York City, where we'll get together to enjoy a Raw Food Demonstration from local New York chefs, and also get down to business addressing some of the most pressing matters in animal advocacy. We'll bring the dairy business into focus; we'll be talking about desperation and intimidation in animal advocacy, and getting beyond them. We'll discuss the questions arising in animal advocacy since the rise of anti-terror legislation. We'll introduce a new vegan cookbook, Dining with Friends. We'll be talking with lawyers, authors, and advocates for progressive ideas.
