TURKEY VIGIL 2000
Please Join Us!
UPC activist Jamey West will hold our Third Annual Turkey Vigil in memory of the
millions of turkeys who suffered and died needlessly this year.
Friday November 17th
7:30-8:30 PM
Atop the Bethesda Metro Station.
Bethesda, MD-Metropolitan Washington DC Area
Directions: Take Wisconsin Avenue (Rt 355) south from the Beltway 10 miles to the
intersection of East West Highway & Wisconsin Avenue. Vigil will be on the right side
of the street. Bethesda Metro is on the Red Line just a few stops north of DC.
The Bethesda Metro gets lots of people coming out of the Metro and walking to
restaurants and bars in the area. Also, lots of auto traffic headed for Georgetown. We
have banners, signs, brochures and candles. Just bring yourself and help get the message
out: NO "BASTED IN BLOOD." TURKEYS ARE FRIENDS, NOT FOOD.

For Information Contact Karen Davis at 757-678-7875; Karen@upc-online.org
Franklin Wade at Franklin@upc-online.org
Date: Wednesday, November 22nd
Time: 1 PM to 3 PM (time subject to change depending on White House announcement)
Place: White House Sidewalk
Action: UPC will hold a protest demonstration against the presidential "pardoning of a turkey" ceremony at the
White House. Instead of "pardoning" innocent birds in false ceremonies of "compassion," we will urge Americans
to pioneer new traditions of respect and compassion for turkeys. Last year The Washington Post reported (Nov. 25),
"United Poultry Concerns, a Washington-area group, [was] outside the White House to raise compassion for put-upon
birds everywhere. Founder Karen Davis held one end of a banner that got to the heart of the matter: 'Turkeys: Meet One, Don't Eat One.'"

Davis has been invited to speak. Other speakers are expected. Please Join Us.
