DESCRIPTION:One week after Earthlings marched all over the world, Direct Action 
 Everywhere (www.directactioneverywhere.com) is teaming up with local 
 organizers to take on one of the most horrendous examples of the 
 glorification of violence: the annual San Jose Bacon Festival.\n\nThe Bacon 
 Festival is part of an International Bacon Day, which includes events all 
 over the world. The local event has already received glowing press in the 
 San Jose Mercury News, the Silicon Valley Business Journal, and on the 
 local NBC News affiliate. We will be there, however, to tell another story: 
 that bacon is NOT FOOD. It's VIOLENCE.\n\nThe attendance for this event is 
 likely to be more than 2,500 people. From the event's blog page: "At the 
 festival, there are lots of food trucks--all offering special bacon dishes 
 for $5 or less! There is a Bacon Cooking Competition, a Bacon Beauty 
 Pageant, a Bacon Parade, a Bacon Square Dance, bacon games and 
 more!"\n\nThe event will go from 11am-10pm. \n\nThe demonstration is 
 planned for the morning part, from 11am to 1pm.\n\nLocation: San Jose Night 
 Market at 1411 Maybury Road, San Jose.\n\nSigns, which will say: "it's not 
 food, it's violence" and "freedom is every animal's right" will be 
 provided.\n\nWe want the messages to be unified so please DO NOT bring your 
 own signs. \n\nTo mourn the pigs killed for this event, please wear all 
 black or if you have an Earthlings shirt, please wear that. \n\nWe will not 
 be showing graphic pictures at this demo. \n\nAlso, the goal of this demo 
 is not to try to convince people to not attend. We hope some people will 
 reconsider, but that is not the main goal of this protest. \n\nThe goal is 
 to confront/challenge the societal norms that make animals in to objects 
 and glorify the eating of murdered pigs.\n\nPlease park on the street 
 outside of the Night Market and expect to walk a bit to the demonstration 
 site, at the entrance to the Night Market on Maybury Rd. Cross street is 
 D.O.T. Way. You likely have to look for parking closer to N. King Road, 
 which crosses Maybury Rd. \n
