Notes
from Vegan Outreach
Help Jon and Joe Reach More Students!
 In
early February, Jon Camp will embark
on a 10-week college leafleting
tour that will encompass 19 states.
In order to make this tour as economically
efficient as possible, he'll be
staying with members of Vegan Outreach.
He has found housing for just about
every region he'll be in, but still
needs lodging in or near the following:
Starkville, MS; Memphis, TN; Jonesboro,
Little Rock, Conway, and Fayetteville,
AR.

In mid-March, Joe Espinosa will
be doing a mini-leafleting tour
throughout the eastern regions of
ND, SD, and NE. He'll need housing
anywhere close to Interstate 29
between Grand Forks, ND and Omaha,
NE.
If you'd be willing to house either
of these courteous, dedicated individuals
for 1-3 nights, this would help
them reach thousands more students
with the animals' plight. If so,
please email tour
(at) veganoutreach (dot) org.
Thanks so much!
From
2002.

Notes from All
Over
Vegan Outreach doesn't tie the
veg message to celebrities, in part
because of the changeability of
celebrities' diets. But for those
who are swayed by the habits of
famous people, ABC has compiled
this
list.
Notes from Our
Members
Your organization
is among the most effective because
you celebrate whatever large or
small steps people take towards
compassionate lifestyles; because
you focus your energies on a few
proven strategies and thus focus
your light like a laser; and because
you bring the message to those who
are most likely to hear it: open-minded
young people on college campuses.
We are also inspired and informed
by your essays written for activists.
We appreciate your grounded, rational,
ethically robust essays. We believe
that it's time for compassion and
respect for other animals to become
mainstream sentiments in American
society. Thank you for all your
work to  make
this happen.

While leafleting high
schools right before
break, we met a number of vegetarians,
vegans, and a vegan wannabe. Met
a student who used to be vegan,
but stopped due to family pressures.
We gave her a GCFE
and we discussed going vegan
again. She plans to do so. Overheard
a discussion in which two students
went through the Why Vegan
page by page. A friend joined them
and immediately was handed a WV
so that he could enter the discussion.

Leafleting in Center
City, Philadelphia yesterday
went well; a number of people expressed
real interest in going vegetarian.
We also got some anecdotal evidence
about the prior week's leafleting:
one of our members was at their
dentist's office a few days ago,
and the dentist talked about how
she got one of our leaflets the
prior week and realized she needed
to go veg.
