We need activists to distribute Gentle Thanksgiving gift
baskets to local talk show hosts. It's fun and it's a great opportunity
to meet your media, and to reduce the number of animals abused and
killed for America's dinner table. Background information and the
procedure involved are noted below.
FARM, with the kind cooperation of Now and Zen, Turtle
Island Foods, Farm Sanctuary, and other organizations, is continuing our
annual tradition of distributing Gentle Thanksgiving gift baskets to
selected media. Each basket contains a mock turkey with trimmings, a
copy of the "Making of a Turkey" video, and vegan literature.
Here is the procedure (with more details upon
registering):
1) Obtain the name, position, show, station, and contact
information of the more influential talk show hosts, weather anchors,
food editors, or other popular media characters in your area
2) Register with our Communications Director Laurelee
Blanchard at Laurelee@farmusa.org,
or 888-543-6325, providing the above information as well as your contact
information and organization (if any)
3) Once you receive Laurelee's approval, ask the
approved folks whether they would be interested in receiving a Gentle
Thanksgiving gift basket containing a mock turkey dinner and information
on meatless Thanksgiving
4) Report your findings to Laurelee, who will then
arrange for shipping the 'turkeys', video tape, and literature, as well
as detailed instructions
5) Once you receive the materials, arrange a date/time
for each delivery, pick up the free 'turkeys' at a local health food
store or coop, get baskets, and prepare the meals, according to the
instructions provided.
6) Report the results to Laurelee, so she can include
you in our national 'media blitz.'
Enjoy! And thank you for caring enough, AlexH.
Thank you for making World Farm Animals Day the best
ever.
Now, let's work on making this Thanksgiving a gentle one!
