[4animals] China fur protest

[Edelweiss D'Andrea]

Hi,

Although I would like to coordinate a protest, I am a single mom, working
full time, and I'm involved in a half dozen environmental initiatives. For
example, I'm mailing out 300 letters tomorrow to help get 1000 signatures
for a climate change petition, reporting on issues for the Environmental
Advisory Committee, writing an article this week for Peace and Environment
News, and going to the public meeting about nuclear power at the Ottawa
Congress Centre tomorrow evening. All to say, I'm already overextended.

Anyone else up to organizing a demonstration? I think having it next
Saturday after the Veggie Meet-Up would be a great idea. Everyone could head
over to the Chinese embassy after eating.

Edelweiss

    Eidelweiss- if you're willing to speak to media maybe you might as well
co-ordinate aswell? Where is the Chinese embassy? Also, what is falun gong?
So many people protest on Parliament Hill-it is boring to media but the
embassy would be different and more controversial which ups our chances at
media. I think a Saturday is better personally despite the veggie meet-up
date (personally). I also really think this one should be advertised too
somehow. We NEED numbers. I was thrilled and surprised to get 18 on Saturday
but thought this was lucky eg. not usually quite so many show. I definately
think its' because it was on a Saturday. That is hillarious about the
Chinese embassy statement/contradiction to the U.S. I can't take this
anymore about the media ignoring us especially after reading the vivid
skinning description. What will it take folks? can we think of something? If
I had some drinks post protest I'm at the point of feeling ok with dousing
myself in red paint...I don't suppose anyone else is at this point regarding
the situation?
