KFC Cruelty Protests Updates

Bay Area Vegetarians is a local all-volunteer organization working to support/promote vegetarianism. One of our current advocacy efforts is protesting at local KFCs to raise awareness of the excessive cruelty to the chickens before slaughter and to support welfare reform advocated by PETA. We work with volunteers who have been organizing monthly protests at various locations.

We are soliciting input from others about current monthly protests in Palo Alto, Marin/Mill Valley, and San Jose.

1) Palo Alto

Candace has been organizing monthly protest at Palo Alto KFC on El Camino ... recently this store closed! Hey, what a wonderful coincidence! So, Candace is checking out the other Palo Alto or Mtn View KFC locations (sadly there is not a shortage to choose from!). If anyone has any input/preference, now's a good time to speak up. (i.e. Would you attend on a more regular basis at one location or the other)

2) Mill Valley/Marin

Val wrote: "Hi All, I'm suspending the Mill Valley KFC demos until further notice. If anyone would like to host them, or hold one in a different location, you are more than welcome to all the signs and lit that I have. " Any takers? Please contact us.

3) San Jose

There is a KFC on Santa Clara Street just a few MINUTES walk three wonderful veggie places - Vegetarian House, Tofoo Com Chay, and Good Karma. The last two are small vegan restaurants (Good Karma has limited seating inside, Tofoo Com Chay is more for take-out), and perfect to grab a yummy $2 vegan sandwich. Yes, $2 !

Ideal spot for someone to organize a KFC cruelty protest and then lunch after. Anyone want to do this on a monthly basis? I know Carol and Mike and crew are doing South Bay KFCs on a rotating basis, but this one just seems a good spot for a monthly protest (yes, I think protests and then socializing over vegan food after is a great combo)
