DESCRIPTION:Video from our April Day of Action. 
 (http://youtu.be/-xfZgCuUKQ0)\n\n---\n“I love all animals the same, so I 
 want to use both of them."\n\n- Chipotle Chief Chef Nate Appleman, on a 
 chicken/pig concoction at last year’s Cultivate event\n\n"There's no two 
 sexier words in the English language than bacon fat."\n\n- Cultivate Chef 
 Graham Elliot\n\nChipotle and other corporations say they can "cultivate a 
 better world" by killing and using animals. (http://youtu.be/EI9JRokkF28) 
 And Time Magazine says their animal killing machine is "totally 
 unstoppable." \n\nWe're out to prove them wrong. There is nothing humane 
 about slaughter. There's nothing happy about meat. And there's nothing 
 Chipotle and other animal killing corporations are cultivating... except 
 violence. \n\nThis month, Chipotle takes to the world with its famous 
 Cultivate Festival -- a nationwide celebration of violence against animals. 
 Thousands of people across the country will hear about how they can kill 
 and eat animals with a smile, as Chefs like Appleman and Elliot prepare 
 "delicious" corpses for participants to consume. \n\nBut DxE activists will 
 hit the streets with a different message: It's not Food. It's Violence. 
 \n\nAnimal rights activists in 41 cities and 12 countries -- most recently, 
 Chennai, India and Istanbul, Turkey -- have united under the banner "It's 
 not Food. It's Violence" since our campaign started in October 2013. We 
 have received media coverage in multiple cities. And the focus of our 
 campaign in the United States -- Chipotle Mexican Grill -- has seen its 
 1000% stock growth slow to almost zero 
 (http://directactioneverywhere.com/theliberationist/2014/4/18/1-billion-reasons-to-protest-but-all-we-need-is-one), 
 and closed down its largest SF location in response to our protest last 
 month 
 (http://directactioneverywhere.com/theliberationist/2014/3/29/san-francisco-chipotle-closes-in-face-of-animal-rights-protests). 
 \n\nBut we need your help -- whether at Chipotle or another place of 
 violence -- to keep up the momentum. Join us this month as we once again 
 demand an end to atrocities against innocent animals. \n\n---\n\nSAN 
 FRANCISCO - EARLY DEMO 
 (https://www.facebook.com/events/1454049158171015/)\n\n---\nMODEL ACTION 
 PLAN\n\nTo be announced. \n\n---\nMESSAGE FOR NEW ORGANIZERS\n\nWe are 
 actively looking for organizers all over the world and invite all forms of 
 participation. While we offer model action plans, even a simple leafleting 
 outside of an establishment that promotes violence can be an important 
 contribution to this campaign! It's easy to plan an action, and we will 
 guide you through the process and send you materials, if you have need. 
 Contact us via facebook or at dxe@directactioneverywhere.com if you'd like 
 to join.\n\nWhile, in the US, many activists focus on Chipotle -- perhaps 
 the fastest growing, and most deceptive, animal killer in the world -- we 
 encourage protests at other locations where animals are used and killed. 
 Solidarity protests have been held at other fast food chains, grocery 
 stores, department stores ("It's not Beauty. It's Violence."), and 
 countless other establishments that profit off of atrocities against 
 animals. \n\nOur campaign has one and only one message: that every animal 
 (human or non-human) has an equal right to be safe, happy, and free.

 Violence" campaign and strategy. (http://goo.gl/MtGe3j)\n\nDirect Action 
 Everywhere’s mission is to empower activists to take strong and confident 
 action wherever animals are being denigrated, enslaved, or killed, and 
 create a world where animal liberation is a reality. We use creative 
 nonviolent protest to tell the animals’ story. We are not afraid to push 
 boundaries and even polarize the debate. We integrate the latest technology 
 and most innovative research to most effectively advocate for the 
 liberation of our animal friends. And we use the power of an open and 
 welcoming community to make all of us more inspired and confident 
 activists. \n\nIn 2013, we executed an international march with the 
 Earthlings Coalition, which rallied thousands of activists in 41 cities in 
 17 countries around the world (http://goo.gl/soJEFf). \n\nVisit us at
