GenV #12 – Veg Pride, New Book / Give-away, Santa Cruz and more

In this show we present a talk by Virginia Handley – “Use the Law, Help the Animals“. This was a Compassionate Living presentation sponsored by Bay Area Vegetarians that happened earlier this month in San Francisco. Due to its length, this entire episode is focused on Virginia’s presentation.  We will return with our regular format next time.  GenV – Show #11 Duration: 52:43 mins [24MB] Virginia has been a lobbyist working for the animals for over 30 years. She’s on the board of directors for PawPAC (California Political Action Committee for Animals) and Animal Switchboard in San Francisco, and formally the local representative for Fund for Animals and HSUS. Much of the talk is California centric, but a fascinating insight on how the legislative process works, strategies on how to introduce your own bills, how you can support bills, and how you can basically use the law to help animals.

GenV #9 – Vegan Bubble World

In this episode we provide an overview of our favorite places to eat vegan in San Francisco and the surrounding SF Bay Area.   With a strong vegetarian and animal rights community, nearly 90 vegetarian restaurants in the region (which includes over 30 vegan restaurants), vegetarian and animal rights events happening every weekend, moderate weather, beautiful natural scenery, progressive and relatively pro-veg climate, the SF Bay Area is the best place to live as a vegetarian.  PETA says “The Bay Area is the capital of America’s vegetarian and vegan revolution!” We hope folks visiting SF for pleasure or business, as well as those new to the area or vegetarianism, will find this a useful guide to eating with compassion in the SF Bay Area.

Generation Vegan Podcast #5 – Effective Advocacy for Animals: Activist Rights

 GenerationV – Show #4 We weren’t always vegans or activists. Then one day it made sense to stop eating animals. Then, later on, we decided to use our collective skills and knowledge to promote vegetarianism to reduce animal suffering.  That’s what we like about the New Year. It gives us an opportunity and a big, symbolic, in-your-face reminder to think about last year and look forward to the new year, and think about what we’d like to do differently. New year, new leaf.  With that in mind, we’re happy to share part of a presentation we held recently with our local vegetarian organization, Bay Area Vegetarians. Effective Advocacy for Animals – Part I includes strategies and tips for Activist Skills for Leafleting, Letter Writing, Tabling. Duration: 1:00:41 Introduction 00:40 Tammy – Effective Tabling 00:02:55 Suzanne – Leafleting 00:20:52 Nora – Letter Writing 00:35:25 End/Wrap up 00:59:30 References – Handouts, Links, Displays Effective Tabling Techniques[ pdf] Letter Writing Tips [pdf] Leafleting Resources [pdf] Legal Questions About Leafleting Gallery of pictures from the event Our presenters included: Tammy Lee, Bay Area Vegetarians’ President/co-founder and List Owner for SFBAVEG, has been doing veg outreach and advocacy for animals since 1990.  She’s written letters, held protest signs, leafleted, and marched, but tabling is her favorite form of advocacy.  She’ll share her favorite techniques, tips, and strategies for successful tabling. Suzanne Haws has been active in Vegan Outreach’s Adopt-A-College program for over a year. As one of the leading participants in the nationide program, and ranked #2 in California, she’s visited nearly 30 college campuses and handed out over 20,000 anti-factory-farming leaflets directly to students.   Nora Kramer is an experienced and passionate advocate for animals.  She volunteers with the Empathy Project and does humane education presentations at local schools and runs the BAARN list, Bay Area Animal Rights Network.  Nora was also voted, by her peers and the local community, as “Favorite Local Activist” in the BEST OF VEG 2005 survey. Part II – Activist Rights for Animal Rights – will be covered in a future show.   Subscribe to  the podcast
