Join Farm Sanctuary's Truth Behind Factory Farming Tour and Come Out to Support the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act!
May 2008

Farm Sanctuary has hit the road in support of the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act, and we are taking the Truth Behind Factory Farming message to the streets!

The Truth Behind Factory Farming Tour employs an innovative educational tool - a truck outfitted with 80 inch video screens on three sides -- to raise public awareness about the cruelties inherent on factory farms and to encourage people to take action to end farm animal abuse.

Throughout the beginning of May the Farm Sanctuary tour will be stopping at meetings to rally support for the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act . The Act, if passed, would eliminate some of the most intensely restrictive confinement practices in the farm animal industry - veal crates for calves, battery cages for egg-laying hens, and gestation crates for breeding pigs. This initiative would affect the lives of more than 20 million animals living in California!

Learn how you can help pass this groundbreaking ballot initiative for the animals and check out the Farm Sanctuary tour. Our next stops are open to the public and we would love to meet you in person:

You can help even if you are unable to attend one of these events

Please be part of history and help us reduce the suffering of millions of animals in California! As we move into the next phase of this campaign, your help is greatly needed to spread the word. Here are a few ways that you can help:

1. Attend Events and Leaflet! Join Farm Sanctuary on tour in California - mark your calendars and plan to attend an event near you to learn about the important and fun ways YOU can help get out the vote and WIN this victory for animals in November! Download the new campaign flyer here, and lookout for an updated version when we get assigned a proposition number. Join us for updates on where we will be appearing or take to the streets and start your own leafleting!

2. Seek Endorsements! Many people's votes will be influenced by who else is supporting the initiative, so please gather as many endorsements as you can! You can see a list of current campaign endorsers here and get the new guide to endorsement gathering here. Ask your veterinarian, your pastor, your barber shop, and other California businesses to endorse the campaign!

3. Start Writing! The letters section of the newspaper is one of the most read sections of the newspaper because people want to know what their neighbors are talking about. Make sure to check out the campaign guide to writing letters to the editor here.

4. Join ACT - Farm Sanctuary's Advocacy Campaign Team to stay up to speed on events in California! Go to http://www.farmsanctuary.org/get_involved/act/activist_form.html
