 Francisco's Civic Center Farmers Market, this Sunday morning, the 28th of

 Sunday's, regularly, at the U.N Plaza Farmers Market, to send the  message 
 that animal cruelty will not be tolerated.\n\nDemo confirmations and 
 updates sent out, weekly.\n\nWhen:  \n***THIS SUNDAY***\nSunday, 28th of 
 March, 9:00am to (at least) 11:00am\n\nPlease check the the AoC Advocacy 
 hotline - (619) 467-6535- for demo status updates.\nIf you're running late, 
 please check the hotline.\nDemo status updates are made indicating when 
 demos have finished.\n\nWhere:  \n"Heart of the City" Civic Center Farmers 
 Market\n1182 Market St\n(between 8th St & Grove St)\nSan Francisco, CA 
 94102\nConveniently located at the Civic Center BART station.\nThe focus 
 point of the demo will be the NE corner of the market, near the water 
 fountains.\n\n***Signs and literature provided.*** \n\n Background on Civic 
 Center campaign: \n\nSince April of last year, LGBT Compassion and AoC have 
 filed complaints and taken legal measures against bird vendors exercising 
 animal cruelty, \nwhile monitoring their activities.\n\nCivic Center has 
 been a challenge, particularly with the primary vendor, Raymond Young 
 Poultry, but we have been able to get media attention on this issue,\nas 
 well as have impact on other bird vendors acting outside the 
 law.\n\nBecause of the lack of action on the city's part against this 
 animal cruelty, we are successfully amplifying attention with peaceful 
 demonstrations.\n\n CAMPAIGN UPDATE: \n\nWe have just completed our latest 
 demonstration on Wednesday, the 24st of March, which was our first weekday 
 demonstration at the market.\n\nEven with our small advocate number, 
 Wednesday, we were able to get Market management's notice,\nas well as 
 distribute a sizable number of pamphlets.  Once again, vendors expressed 
 their support, and many patrons thanked us for our 
 advocacy.\n\nDemonstrations have been particularly successful for the last 
 few weeks, as we have distributed nearly 1,500 leaflets.\n\nYOU ARE WELCOME 
 TO JOIN OUR EVENTS!\n\nWe are pleased with our effectiveness but it would 
 contribute to have more advocates join us at this event.\n\nWe could use 
 your help.\n\nWe've been able to get market attention and make a statement 
 with our small group (we certainly have been noticed!),\nbut we need more 
 people if we want this to be an effective campaign.\n\nFor further info on 
 this campaign, please refer to LGBTcompassion.org\n\nPlease let me know if 
 you have any questions.\n \nThank you.\n\n-Douglass\nVegan
