Fur Free Friday in the PATH

Working in small teams, do the #FurChallenge by walking the PATH (map – https://www.dropbox.com/s/m4zqocpbd459ige/PATH-Map.pdf?dl=0 ) approaching fur wearers with a simple “This is for you!” and handing them a no-FUR postcard.

We will also have ‘Thank You for Not Wearing Fur’ post cards which will allow us to have a general outreach / leafleting team to make this event accessible for all comfort levels.

ABOUT DxE EVENTS
DxE’s organizers around the world build empowered networks for animal liberation. Based on the most innovative scholarship on social change and the recent successes of the animal rights movement in countries around the world, DxE’s model focuses on building the kindling for a true social movement to be set ablaze. We do this by: (1) supporting activists locally in speaking strongly for animals under our organizing principles – http://directactioneverywhere.com/organizing-principles/; and (2) connecting those activists with others worldwide to create empowered networks for change.

Animal rights activists in over 150 cities and 30 countries have united under the banner “It’s not Food. It’s Violence” since our campaign started in October 2013.

But we need your help to keep up the momentum. Join us at this event as we demand an end to atrocities against innocent animals.

SAFER SPACE POLICY – Full details here https://www.facebook.com/DXEToronto/notes

DxE has a Safer Space Policy to facilitate an immediate response to any oppressive actions by attendees of our official events. Oppressive actions include: Discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, size, class, ability, reproductive choice, sexuality, and gender identity; and, promoting disrespect or violence towards nonhuman animals. We strive to create a community that is safe and welcoming, and which prioritizes the needs of people who are typically marginalized by society.

All DxE Toronto events will be drug-and-alcohol-free due to safety concerns.

CONSENT FOR SOCIAL MEDIA:
DxE events are social media intensive. Photos and videos are regularly taken at actions, open meetings, and other activities. If you do not consent to appear in photos and videos, please let our media personnel know at the beginning of events. We will also remind attendants of this policy at each event.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
As settler animal rights/liberation activists uninvited to the traditional, ancestral, unceded and occupied territories of the First Nations and peoples, we acknowledge that we are unable to do animal advocacy work without using the resources from this land, and are often complicit in colonial systems that perpetuate violence against Indigenous Peoples. We must continue to learn and take responsibilities to help decolonize.
