Place:
Wightman
Community Center, 5604 Solway Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15217
Date
& time: Saturday, February 23rd 2008, 12:30 pm-1:30 pm
Description :
These
presentations will energize individuals who share a common concern
for the wellbeing of animals to actively participate in changing,
supporting,
or opposing policies in both the private and public sectors that directly
affect the care and treatment of animals. The animal community is large,
and
yet effecting positive change for animals is a difficult process when
pursued
by a divided animal community. These meetings will equip participants with
the
skills necessary not only to effect change for animals as an individual
but
will unite animal advocates with similar goals and concerns.
We will
discuss basic techniques to encourage policy changes for citizen
activists and provide information regarding some of the priority animal
issues
in Pennsylvania.
Please take time to attend at least one of these meetings to support the
ongoing efforts to protect the animals of Pennsylvania and to meet and
network with
other advocates for animals.
As an
added bonus, the seminars will equip you with the skills necessary
to campaign for animals at the local level. Topics covered will include
composing effective materials for local decision-makers and media outlets,
organizing your friends and acquaintances behind one goal, and overall
campaign
strategic planning.
Meetings will feature special guest speaker former State
Senator Roy
Afflerbach.
Baked
goods provided My Goodies Vegan Bakery.
