AFA Friends:
National Primate Liberation Week is October 17th - 24th 2009.
We should probably start brainstorming ideas as soon as possible to have an effective demo this year.
The web page for NPLW 2009 has already been established: http://www.all-creatures.org/saen/event-nplw-announce.html
I hope to be the coordinator for this event. I've done it before and it's something I am very passionate about.
If you have any suggestions or comments, please post here.
Thanks!
Timothy

We will not be meeting with representatives -- they will not be in Austin that week. More information is on the forum: National Primate Liberation Week.
If we meet with representatives, can we bring a laptop and show them a 16-minute video? It is listed at:

You are right -- I noticed that when I first signed it. I meant to send a message to Timothy about changing it but totally forgot. I'll do that now...
On this petition it says the target is Texas State Representatives. This should be going to U.S. representatives and it would likely be going to Doggett or other local U.S. House reps. Can someone clarify to me that this is going to the U.S. government not state government? Thanks.
We only have 19 signatures for our GAPA petition. HELP!!!!!!! We need way more signatures than that to be taken seriously at all. Tell your friends. Share it on your Facebook page. Sign if you haven't already. Please do whatever you can to make this petition a success!!! The great apes are counting on us!!!!

These are a couple of website addresses that have petitions to help a chimp by the name of Wenka...it takes no time whatsoever and let's do this as part of NPLW ;)))
I just started a topic for this on the forums: National Primate Liberation Week. I tried to summarize what I think we need to do. Please check that out ASAP and let's get this plan moving!
I just signed the petition...
I set up the petition for the Great Ape Protection Act at http://www.gopetition.com/online/30622.html
Please sign and share the petition on every site you can think of. I'm not computer savvy but I know Errol is, so hopefully he will give me suggestions on how to get the petition distributed widely.
Let's get those signatures going!!!!
I'm free Oct 17 & 18 (so far), but I work during the week. Also, I don't know how much help I would be talking to representatives. I tend to studder and stammer and get flustered when I speak.
Well, it's the whole week and we do have the Walk for Animals on October 17th, so that might be what you are talking about. Do you have yourr days free from 10/17 to 10/24, to go with us to representatives and talk to them about GAPA?
There is something else going on that weekend too that the guys from Petland Protests told me about. I can't remember what it is though. I'll ask. I'm down for doing something for the Great Ape Protection Act. Poor apes! Its so sad.
We had a meeting today, and we have decided to work on having meetings with representatives who can sponsor the Great Ape Protection Act (GAPA). I will be finalizing details here as they unfold but if you have any information or interest in helping in this arena of animal legislation, please do not hesitate to post and let me know what you would like to bring to the table. Thanks!
What have you done in past years? What are your ideas?
Just one note about the dates and conflict - The Austin Walk for Farm Animals (Farm Sanctuary benefit) is on October 17th.
