S.O.S! Save Our Sea Lions!

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is planning to slaughter our sea lions in a political attempt to placate corporate fishing interests. This will only hurt our native sea lions - it will NOT save the salmon! Please take a little time to help us pay a 'visit' to FWS during their business hours!

Ungar Furs Demo

Portland made history with the shutting down of Schumacher Furs but there is still much more work to be done. We must continue the fight and let others know that we will not tolerate fur stores in our city.

Door Hangering Against Primate Research

The PDX ADL campaign to put a stop to Dr Spindel's wasteful, ineffective, and cruel primate research at OHSU kick-starts this weekend.

To initiate our campaign, we are distributing door hangers in conjunction with CAAT (Coalition to Abolish Animal Testing), who are doing AM door hangering in NE Portland.

Please come out and help us spread the word!

Consensus and Facilitation Training For ADL Members

Consensus and facilitation are two major tools for effective, radical, non-hierarchal group decision making. Consensus is a method by which an entire group of people can come to an agreement. The input and ideas of all participants are gathered and synthesized to arrive at a final decision acceptable to all. Through consensus, we are not only working to achieve better solutions, but also to promote the growth of community and trust.

The facilitator(s) aids the group in defining decisions that need to be made, helps them through the stages of reaching an agreement, keeps the meeting moving, focuses discussion to the point at hand; makes sure everyone has the opportunity to participate, and formulates and tests to see if consensus has been reached. Facilitators help to direct the process of the meeting, not its content. They never make decisions for the group. If a facilitator feels too emotionally involved in an issue or discussion and cannot remain neutral in behavior, if not in attitude, then s/he should ask someone to take over the task of facilitation for that agenda item.

This workshop will be directed by Monica Vaughan, a student activist facilitator, who has given this workshop numerous times for all levels of activist experience from collectives to newer activists. She will be gearing the workshop towards empowering effective facilitation directly leading agenda item discussions toward proposals and consensus. She will also be helping us identify the factors of miscommunication and disruptiveness within our own meeting process, and providing suggestions on keeping the meeting process flowing so that we can organize and plan events with more ease.

Ungar Furs Quickie Demo

Here at ADL, we know how much you hate the cruelty that is the fur industry.

We also know that not everyone can make it out to the absolute fabulousness that is the Saturday demo at Ungar Furs.

We are having a demo this Friday right before Ungar closes, just to let them know we are thinking of them during the week.

Please come out to this short demo and/or join us on Saturday morning as well!

Demo Foie Gras and the Hypocrites and TEN-01

We have written. We have called. We are tired of politely asking you to take Foie Gras off your menu.

When the new vegan restaurant, Nutshell, opened up in the up in the NE last year, people throughout Portland were thrilled to have a new option. That delight quickly turned to anger when people found out that the owners of Nutshell also owned TEN-01, a restaurant in Portland notoriously known for selling Foie Gras. Letters were written and calls were made to get them to drop this delicacy of despair and end the hypocrisy, but they refused. So only one choice was left... DEMO ON THEIR DOORSTEP!

Kick Foie Gras Out of Town!

Please join us and let Blue Hour know that the torture of ducks and geese for the "delicacy" of foie gras will not be tolerated in Portland!

We will be meeting at 6:30 at the courner of 10th and Davis. That is in the Pearl district downtown. We will then walk to the restaurant 'Blue Hour' where foie gras is prominently featured on their menu.
