Hello,
How are you? I hope this e-mail finds you well. I just wanted to let you know about an upcoming protest because you're on PETA's Activist Network for the Pittsburgh area. Local PETA activists and Voices for Animals will be protesting the Ringling Bros. Circus in Pittsburgh starting next week. It would be great if you could come out to help speak up for the animals! As usual, we'll have all the materials, so just bring yourself and anyone else you'd like to have attend. I've included the details below for you:
When:
Wednesday, November 1:
6:00 PM-7:30 PM
Thursday, November 2:
9:45 AM-10:45 AM and 6:45 PM-7:45 PM
Friday, November 3:
6:45 PM-7:45 PM
Saturday, November 4:
10:45 AM-11:45 AM, 2:45 PM-3:45 PM, and 6:45 PM-7:45 PM

Where: Please meet opposite the Centre Avenue side of the arena, near the main entrance.
Why: See for yourself here.
Please contact our local organizer, Candice, at [email protected] or call their voicemail at 1-877-321-4VFA if you have further questions about this protest. And please cross-post this message, the Web site, and the video clip to others who may be interested in joining the fight against Ringling! For more information on this campaign, please visit Circuses.com.
Please remember to dress appropriately for this event (for example, nice jeans or cords without holes). During these protests, we'd like to keep our message focused on the fact that animals need our help-not on our own personal wardrobe choices. It is important for circusgoers to take us seriously, so we have to try to appeal and relate to them as much as possible. Even if it means wearing something that you wouldn't normally wear, it's just for an hour or two, and you'll be doing it to help animals. Also, we never know when the media will show up! Also, if possible, please leave your sweet companion animals (dogs, cats, etc) at home for this.
Thanks so much for everything that you do for animals! PETA is thankful that you're on the Activist Network, and we encourage you to take full advantage of the network by contacting us anytime with questions, requests, or concerns! There are many great ways to support PETA's unique work to help animals. One of the most important is to make a financial donation today. We rely on donations from caring and kind-hearted people like you who make it possible for us to fight for animal rights. Please make a secure online donation by clicking here.
With thanks from those without voices,
Stephanie Wood, Activist Liaison
