WEAR YOUR OWN SKIN demo ... aka Fur Free Friday

ARAUNY is hosting this peaceful, legal, educational demo the day after Thanksgiving. Join us! Together we will not only protest the use of, and profitting from selling dead animal skin (fur, wool, leather, down, silk ... ), but we will advocate the ALTERNATIVES: bamboo, soy, hemp, synthetic ...

Signs provided, or bring your own.

ARAUNY requests the following of participants. Please:

* do NOT wear any animal skin to this demo (no leather, down, wool, etc)

* park on side streets - but not in the store's plaza

* please, do NOT speak to or shout at customers. They are the ones we really need to reach, teach, enlighten. Our mere presence in front of that store already makes them squirm (though they may not show it). This is a case where our silence will be much louder than verbal attacks (even though we may feel like it - it is not productive to do, plus it gives them reason to dismiss all AR activists vs being approachable, or just our point being considered). Hopefully as they drive away with their new fur, they'll at least be aware they are doing something they need to rethink! Again, please refrain from speaking to or shouting at customers.


* 11/27/09 (Friday, the day after Thanksgiving)
* Held Projansky Fur Store, 2240 Monroe Ave, Rochester NY 14618
* 12:00noon - 1:30pm

Remember:
- dress for the weather
- there are no bathrooms close by (you'd have to drive a ways).

Thank you for your advocacy, and we look forward to you joining ARAUNY in this
"WEAR YOUR OWN SKIN" demo.
