March of Dimes Demonstration This Saturday

This just in from Connie at GARP:

Please join us for an important demonstration this Saturday, April 25th at 9:00 am.

Meet us on the corner of Marietta and Centennial Olympic Blvd. We'll walk to the parade from there.

We will have plenty of literature to distribute to the parade-goers to educate them about the testing on animals. I will bring signs too.

With the worthy goal of preventing birth defects, the March of Dimes collects millions of dollars in donations annually. But most donors who generously open their pocketbooks are unaware that their gifts help to fund painful experiments on animals. The March of Dimes has funneled millions of dollars into laboratory studies on primates, rats, mice, cats, dogs, rabbits, pigs, sheep, guinea pigs, opossums, and members of other animal species.

Both animals and human babies are the losers, because every dollar spent to harm these animals is a dollar that could have—and should have—been used to help people.

Help us spread the word to the unknowing public.

See you on Saturday downtown. From 9:00 to 10:30 am.
