Dear friends:
In 2003, Anthony Marr, founder of Heal Our Planet Earth (HOPE), together
with best selling author Brenda Davis (e.g. Becoming Vegan) and her 15
year-old son Cory Davis, traveled in an RV through 42 states/provinces in 7
months, speaking and holding media events as they went, working with
activists from state to state. They called it the Compassion for Animals
Road Expedition, or CARE tour (see
www.HOPE-CARE.org ) .
Now, in 2008, it has come to be referred to as CARE-1, since following it
was CARE-2 (2004), CARE-3 (2005), CARE-4 (2006) and CARE-5 (2007), each
spanning 25-40 states/provinces in 3-5 months. CARE-2 through CARE-5 were
executed by Anthony Marr solo.
Since 2004, Anthony has also served as a key speaker at the Animal Rights
National Conference (see www.ARConference.org), which has become an integral
part of his CARE tours.
Now, HOPE is organizing its
Compassion for Animals Road Expedition #6 � CARE-6
Each CARE-tour has a theme. The theme of CARE-4 was the Canadian seal
massacre, and that of CARE-5 was urban deer slaughter. The theme of CARE-6
will be:
4 of the previous 5 mass extinctions were caused by climate change, and
the 3rd, the End-Permian 251 million years ago, wiped out 85% of all
species.
Anthony has posted several articles in preparation for this tour, the
first of which, titled �The Animal Rights Movement Must Engage Global
Warming�, is reposted below. He has also created a graphic-intensive Global
Warming section in www.HOPE-CARE.org
, which, though still incomplete, is already considered one of the best and
most comprehensive global warming sites on the web.
The itinerary of CARE-6 is as follows:
AB - 07-01 --> 07-06
MT - 07-07 --> 07-10
SD/ND - 07-11 --> 07-12
MN - 07-13 --> 07-16
WI - 07-17 --> 07-21
IL - 07-22 --> 07-25
IN - 07-26 --> 07-29
MI - 07-30 --> 08-02
OH - 08-03 --> 08-08
WV - 08-09 --> 08-12
VA - 08-13 --> 08-19
MD/DC/PA/DE/NJ/NY/CT/RI/MA/NH/VT/ME - 08-20 --> 10-15
QC - 10-16 --> 10-18
ON - 10-19 --> 10-22
MB - 10-23 --> 10-24
SK - 10-25 --> 10-26
AB - 10-27 --> 10-30
BC - 10-31 -->
If you live in any of these states, Anthony would like, love, to get
together with you.
When Anthony arrives in a state, he will be engaged in one or more of the
following activities:
- Give a PowerPoint presentation sponsored and arranged by a local
group
- Do a joint media event with a local group to launch the
Time-Capsule-of-HOPE-2060 of that state, and to bring to public
attention the local aspects of global warming, including, e.g. factory
farms and habitat destruction
- Assist local groups with their own campaigns and bring them to
national attention
- Meet with local groups on joining HOPE�s Global Emergency Operation
(GEO) which will involve hundreds of groups in dozens of countries
worldwide, one of whose objectives being the establishment of a $120
billion/year Global Green Fund.
And he will need:
- Local accommodation (usually at activists� homes; if not,
inexpensive motels) and local guidance
- Delicious and nutritious vegan food
- Donations to cover at least fuel cost to reach the next destination
(as with the other CARE-tours, Anthony will leave home with a personal
credit card in his pocket, one tank of gas in his car, and that�s it).
- Just basically a warm welcome.
Even if you just want to meet, or just know someone in one of these
states who might be interested, and of course if you wish to host an Anthony
Marr event, please contact:
