“Scatter Tracts Like Raindrops”
Jon Camp from Vegan Outreach makes a hand-off to a University of Maryland student.
During antebellum America, William Lloyd Garrison (my hero) worked to put fellow abolitionists in the field to “scatter tracts like raindrops over the land;” tracts filled with startling facts and melting appeals on the subject of slavery. These days, Vegan Outreach is using this same model to end the enslavement, torture, and death of animals raised for food.
Today, Vegan Outreach’s Outreach Coordinator Jon Camp, volunteer Neva Davis, and I distributed over 1,600 leaflets in three hours at the University of Maryland. The brochures feature pictures, stories, and facts on the savage treatment of animals on modern day farms and slaughterhouses. Download and look at the brochures yourself:
- Even If You Like Meat…
- Why Vegan?
- Try Vegetarian (no gory pictures)
