Farm Sanctuary New York Hoe Down

Hey gang,

I will be giving a talk at the Farm Sanctuary New York Hoe Down entitled "We Can’t All Wear the Big Chicken Costume: Effective Activism Your Way." Yes, I think I'm terribly clever with that title and yes, I laugh at my own jokes. 

Anyhoo, the presentation will be about finding your own path and using your existing strengths to make you a better activist. The presentation stems from my own lack of skills in certain areas, like chanting and marching and being organized. When I realized I was more effective by focusing on what I actually AM good at (crochet, plumbing, yodeling), I felt much stronger and confident as an animal advocate. So I'm going to talk about finding your own path and developing your own skills.

I hope to see some of you there! Actually, I hope to see all of you there, but I know that is unlikely. Those that are able to attend, say hi. I'll be around and selling Herbivore stuff at our table. We'll have a couple of new designs debuting there too. Woo!

The Hoe Down is August 2nd and 3rd.
