Dear Friends,
It is not too late to get involved with Gentle Thanksgiving. Join FARM
in publicizing the benefits of a vegan diet this holiday season by
getting active in your community.
Here are just a few ways you can participate:
- Request free handouts for distribution. Each one offers a free Veg
Starter Guide and weekly recipes. Give them to family and friends, and
distribute them at veg-friendly locations around your community. Request
some now at www.gentlethanksgiving.org/eventReg.php
- Sign our petition. Thousands have signed our letter to President Obama
urging him to pardon ALL turkeys destined for the White House this
holiday season.

on_all_turkeys_this_holiday_season
- Host a public or private Gentle Thanksgiving dinner. Invite family,
friends, and acquaintances to join you, or hold a public vegan meal-
it's a friendly way to introduce the great taste and many benefits of a
cruelty-free diet to those around you.
Visit http://www.GentleThanksgiving.org for more ideas on how to get
active.
Thanks for helping us spread the message of compassion!
Sincerely,
Michael Weber
Outreach Coordinator
Gentle Thanksgiving is a campaign of FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement),
a non-profit, national advocacy organization promoting plant-based
(vegan) diets to save animals, reduce global warming, conserve
environmental resources, and improve public health.
Speak out for animals and get free materials!
Each year, more than 55 billion land animals are abused and killed worldwide for
their flesh, milk, and eggs. On or around October 2nd, caring people in all 50
U.S. states and two dozen other countries will observe World Farm Animals Day to
mourn and expose this needless suffering and slaughter.
Join the global outcry by hosting an event locally.
New Handouts & Poster! This year's outreach theme is "Make the Connection." We
are offering brand new handouts and a poster depicting people enduring factory
farming atrocities. Click the link to view them here:

Observances include candlelight vigils, funeral marches, memorial services,
video screenings, cage-ins, die-ins, leafleting, information tables, and more.
If you’d like to host a video screening, we are offering a free DVD of Fowl
Play, the new Mercy For Animals documentary about the horrors of the poultry and
egg industry.

Join caring people around the globe to provide a much-needed voice for animals
raised for food!
World Farm Animals Day (www.wfad.org) takes place on or around October 2nd. It
is a day dedicated to exposing, mourning, and memorializing the needless
suffering and slaughter of the more than 55 billion cows, pigs, turkeys,
chickens, and other sentient animals brutalized and killed in the world's
factory farms and slaughterhouses.
We are looking for volunteers to organize activities locally. Activities range
from creative, attention-grabbing events to simple outreach: vigils, memorial
services, funeral marches, cage-ins, die-ins, video screenings, information
tables, exhibits, leafleting and more.
We’ll send you free display materials, handouts, and more… just let us know your
plans.
You can also help us spread the word online by exchanging web banners and adding
us as a friend on Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter.
Visit www.WFAD.org/actioncenter for details.
Thanks for caring,
Jen Riley, Program Director
