INVITE YOUR FRIENDS!
Thanksliving
Wednesday, 11/16/11, 10 - 2 pm, Sproul Plaza
November means turkey month and at BOAA that means we recognize the extreme losses of life that this month commemorates. In order to advocate for a more compassionate unthanksliving dinner this year (and stand in solidarity for the genocide of native american peoples that colonialization has meant), we'll be passing out free samples of vegan food on campus. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS to help cook in the morning, transport the foods, and man the table from 10 - 2. SIGN UP HERE!: http://www.doodle.com/eu2vkc8ycxf8hyst
WE NEED SOMEONE WITH A CAR! to pick up food on Monday or Tuesday afternoon and then also someone who can drive on Wednesday at around 10 to help transport the good and help set up. email me: amman...@gmail.com and I will love you forever!
