Monday September 19 - City Of West Hollywood Vote To Make WeHo The First Fur-free City In The United States!
After months of rallies, canvassing and a major campaign, on Monday, September 19, the City of West Hollywood will vote on a historic ban which would make WeHo the FIRST FUR FREE CITY IN THE UNITED STATES!
We need to FILL THE ROOM AND SHOW THE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE WORLD THAT THIS IS A LAW WE ALL SUPPORT!
PLEASE BE THERE AND BRING FRIENDS! The address is: 647 N. San Vicente Blvd., West Hollywood
We are asking everyone to be there by 6:30 to fill out a support card and put on a sticker, so you can be easily identified by the Council Members as a proponent of this humane ban on the sale of Apparel Fur.
Tell everyone you know, especially in WeHo, to come show their support and be a witness to history in the making, There will be a party close by, for all those attending, at a location to be disclosed at the Council Meeting!
PLEASE DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR A CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Thank you on behalf of all of the animals whose lives will be spared, and for those we still fight for.

United Stand For Horses & Burros - Sister Rallies Planned On Two Coasts
When: Sunday, September 25, Noon - 3 p.m.
Where: 3rd StreetPromenade on the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and entrance to 3rd Street Promenade, Santa Monica
Most Americans are not aware that our government via the Bureau of Land Management is “managing” America's iconic wild horses & burros in the West to extinction. These coast to coast rallies support the current national wild horse & burro advocacy effort which is targeting Congress to reform the Wild Horse & Burro Program. We are asking to cut the funding from continued, massive, inhumane roundups, removals & stockpiling of our national icons which is a huge taxpayer expense. Instead, funding should be directed to humane, on-the-range management. The national effort also supports the passage of the Anti-Horse Slaughter Bill, S1176, and the ban on double-decker transport of horses, S1281.
The rally efforts are endorsed by several organizations nationwide, including In Defense of Animals, The Cloud Foundation, HSUS, Equine Welfare Alliance, Animal Law Coalition, Wild Horse Freedom Federation, Animal Rescue Unit, American Wild Horse Advocates, & Respect4Horses, to name a few.
Let's show Congress, the media, and the world that we stand united on behalf of all of America's horses & burros, both wild & domestic. A simultaneous rally will be held in Washington DC.
If you have posters or banners for wild horses and burros, please bring them. If not, just bring your enthusiasm for protecting our wild horse and burro heritage herds, and we will supply posters and banners and flyers to be passed out.
PARKING: Parking is available in Parking Structure #3 located on Fourth Street off Santa Monica Blvd. and Parking Structure #4 located on Second Street off Santa Monica Blvd.
