Trash 'N' Turkeys: The Next After-Mass Event!

November twenty-fourth. That's right—the day after Thanksgiving. The day after the day some of us will be sitting on couches somewhere patting our freshly stuffed bellies. The day after hundreds of thousands, if not millions of turkeys are culled and slaughtered to overfeed folks. It's the day we start the mad dash off to the stores to make sure we get enough—Is there ever enough?—consumables for those we care about over the holiday season.

These themes—the waste of uncontrolled mass consumption and the mass consumption of other living creatures—will be highlighted at the next Rochester Indymedia After-Mass screening.

What: Screenings of Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage and PETA Investigation Footage from the Butterball Turkey Farm as well as a special presentation by Jenna Calabrese, VeganOutreach Northeast Coordinator
When: Friday, November 24, from 7-9PM
Where: St. Joseph's House of Hospitality at 402 South Avenue
Why: After event for Rochester Critical Mass—Ride Daily & Celebrate Monthly!

Refreshments will be served. St. Joe's is wheelchair accessible. Discussion to follow screenings.

The documentary Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage, "Explores the history and politics of garbage, a substance both hidden and omnipresent." It is directed by Heather Rogers and is 19 minutes long. We will also be having a guest speaker from Vegan Outreach talk about the mass slaughter and consumption of turkeys as well as screening the latest PETA investigation from the Butterball Turkey farm. Jenna Calabrese is the Northeast Coordinator for Vegan Outreach , and will be working at universities in this area through November 26th.
