Meatout 2008: Good For Your Heart!
This year will mark the 24th annual observance of the Great American Meatout, the world’s largest annual grassroots diet education campaign. The Meatout 2008 theme is "Choose Veg - It's Good for Your Heart!" "Kicking the meat habit" is both a healthy and a compassionate choice.
Start planning now to take part in the best Meatout yet. Visit the Meatout
Action Center then register your activities.
One of the U.S. grants is to publicize a manual for introducing
vegan school lunch options. In Venezuela, villagers will learn how to produce their own soy milk and soy sausages.
In Nigeria, we co-sponsored the first West African Vegetarian Congress. Most Since 1999, the FARM Sabina Fund has awarded small grants to some 150 grassroots groups promoting a plant-based diet and respect for animals in more than 30 countries. The Fund honors the memory of FARM President Alex Hershaft's mother, Sabina. For more information, please visit the Sabina Fund website. Equal Justice Alliance Scores More Points
EJA was instrumental in getting the National Center for Animal Law of Lewis & Clark Law School to arrange a national moot court competition about AETA. Teams from more than 15 law schools will participate in the competition hosted by Harvard Law School on February 15-17. EJA Executive Director, Odette Wilkens received the Project Censored Award for exposing AETA in the The Equal Justice Alliance is a coalition of animal protection and other social justice organizations formed in November 2006 by FARM and several other groups to defend activists’ freedom of speech and assembly by defeating AETA.
