“We have a dream… that Family HEART Camp is a place where children learn to cherish, honor and respect their parents, and parents learn to cherish, honor and respect their children. We create a supportive community of like-minded people who feel like a new family by the end of the week. We envision an environment where parents and children thrive, supported by experienced staff and by their new friends. We want to make it possible for parents and children to learn new skills together to support harmony, cooperation and peace in their families, with lots of play and fun for everyone.” “Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM) is a charitable organization working for the vision of a world where animals are no longer raised or killed for food. We operate from the nation’s capital through a network of remote activists. We advocate for animals through massive public awareness initiatives in the U.S., Israel, and East Asia. We organize the world’s largest annual animal rights conference that nurtures both aspiring vegans, as well as budding and seasoned activists.” “Vegan.com offers the Internet’s most comprehensive and accurate source of vegan information on every topic, with expanding coverage and updates happening every week.” “Farm Forward implements innovative strategies to promote conscientious food choices, reduce farmed animal suffering, and advance sustainable agriculture.” “Farm Sanctuary was founded in 1986 to combat the abuses of factory farming and encourage a new awareness and understanding about farm animals. Today, Farm Sanctuary is the nation’s largest and most effective farm animal rescue and protection organization. We have rescued thousands of animals and cared for them at our sanctuaries in New York and California. At Farm Sanctuary, these animals are our friends, not our food. We educate millions of people about their plight and the effects of factory farming on our health and environment. We advocate for laws and policies to prevent suffering and promote compassion, and we reach out to legislators and businesses to bring about institutional reforms.” “Hi everybody! We are a vegan farm animal sanctuary in Otaki, just over an hour drive from Wellington. Every day we care for over 200 animals (ponies, cows, goats, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, cats, bunnies and more) who have been abandoned, injured or mistreated. We are looking for people, either single or a couple, to come and join us for a minimum of a month. If you are the right fit there might be a more permanent place for you – some people choose to stay for a year or more.” Book: “Fast food has hastened the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled American cultural imperialism abroad. That’s a lengthy list of charges, but here Eric Schlosser makes them stick with an artful mix of first-rate reportage, wry wit, and careful reasoning. Documentary: “Morbidly obese Joe Cross endeavors to drink only fruit and vegetable juice for 60 days in an effort to lose weight, reboot his health, and inspire others along the way.” “A step towards creating an impartial, comprehensive, and searchable national database of people killed during interactions with law enforcement.” Video: “With infectious enthusiasm and heartfelt compassion, Father Frank Mann, a Catholic priest for 35 years, describes his recent awakening to the cruelty and injustice endured by animals used for food. Already involved in rescuing cats from the streets of his New York City neighborhood, he finds himself challenged by a question posed on a freeway billboard: Why do we care about some animals and eat others? Father Frank is electrified by the realization that we can choose to abandon this unnecessary violence. His mission, “to be a champion of healing, hope and justice,” was inspired by visionaries such as Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton, whom he felt showed both kindness and moral courage in the face of injustice. To their vision of a more equitable and peaceful world, he believes the time has come to add care and respect for all sentient beings. Father Mann and The Tablet, a Catholic newspaper, hosted the New York City premiere of Peaceable Kingdom – The Journey Home, Tribe of Heart’s award-winning documentary about farmers who had a change of heart about animals.” “Faunalytics is a nonprofit research organization dedicated to helping animals by providing useful information to advocates to help them increase their impact.

The foundation and motors of the Foundation were Márta Friwaldszky until his death in 1997. The Foundation’s assets are managed by the Board of Trustees. The members of the Board of Trustees perform their duties in their free time without the slightest consideration. The Foundation has a paid employee, our work is assisted by our volunteers. As a result of our activity, we have become a nationally recognized and recognized animal protection organization. We are members of the World Federation of Animal Welfare (WSPA) and the Royal British Defense Association (RSPCA), where we get a lot of ideas and help. The awareness of our organization obliges us to publicize and undertake, talk about batteries or even “swept under the carpet”, but not less important for animal protection problems that call for a solution. This is the purpose of our ongoing press releases, our opinion, our legal assistance, our educational program and, last but not least, the Civil Protection Ombudsman’s Office, which was established on January 1, 2009 at our own expense.” Purpose: “Create a network of peacemakers. Organize and train local activists and justice leaders. Provide a national support framework for groups and communities to mobilize and drive moral movements. Welcome all people of conscience. Improve the lives of the disadvantaged. End structures of oppression, violence and war. Create peace through the transformative power of nonviolence.” Book: “Feminist Theory established bell hooks as one of international feminism’s most challenging and influential voices. This edition includes a new preface by the author, reflecting on the book’s impact and the development of her ideas since it was first published. In this beautifully written and carefully argued work, hooks maintains that mainstream feminism’s reliance on white, middle-class, and professional spokeswomen obscures the involvement, leadership, and centrality of women of colour and poor women in the movement for women’s liberation. Hooks argues that feminism’s goal of seeking credibility and acceptance on already existing ground – rather than demanding the lasting and more fundamental transformation of society – has shortchanged the movement.A sweeping examination of the core issues of sexual politics, Feminist Theory argues that contemporary feminists must acknowledge the full complexity and diversity of women’s experience to create a mass movement to end women’s oppression.” “This website is dedicated to preserving and carrying forward the legacy of Feminists for Animal Rights, an organization that was active nationwide for over two decades in seeking to end all forms of abuse against women, animals and the earth.”Found 1997 Results

Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal
Schlosser’s myth-shattering survey stretches from California’s subdivisions where the business was born to the industrial corridor along the New Jersey Turnpike where many fast food’s flavors are concocted. Along the way, he unearths a trove of fascinating, unsettling truths — from the unholy alliance between fast food and Hollywood to the seismic changes the industry has wrought in food production, popular culture, and even real estate. He also uncovers the fast food chains’ disturbing efforts to reel in the youngest, most susceptible consumers even while they hone their institutionalized exploitation of teenagers and minorities.”
