  Thank you, Kristal! You know how people say, "I'll be with you in spirit", in order to be supportive? Well, I will really be with you all in spirit! Every demo will be on my mind and all of you there will be in my heart! Please Y'all, share your comments so I can know how they went. You will send lots of people home looking at circuses differently! :-)

  Hi Peach, signs and leaflets will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. Make them to the point, kid friendly, and easy to read from a bit of a distance, since people are usually not really close to the area where we stand. Thank you so much for helping our animal friends!

  Hi Asha, we will be in the front between the entry door and the corner. Thank you for being there! Dear Tommasina, I will only be at opening night this year. I'm sad to miss being there with everyone and to miss seeing you. Thank you so much for bringing folks down for Ft Collins! I'll be there with you all in spirit, and I'm so grateful to know that our great group will be out there for the innocent animal prisoners! Thank you ALL so much!! xoxo

Does anyone know if the parking situation is still the same as last year, i.e., that we can still park in the general visitors' lot for free?

People don't know what they don't know. That is the reason we do these demos. Not to yell and be mean to circus goers or confront people, but to educate. Many people care about animals, but years of lies from circus bullies, has fooled many people. They fooled me! If no one is outside speaking for te animals, people will go in with no thought about the animals. That is why we are there. Not to ruin anyone's fun, but to bring it to the attention of those thoughtful people who don't know. Thank you with all my heart to our organizers and members who will be out there for te animals when they can! Need reasons for your family and friends to not support the circus, or reasons to help at the demos: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AAf1AKj-izY&feature=related

I want to attend as many demos as I can, and will be bringing as many people as I can that are willing to go. I hope we can show Ringling that their cruelty isn't welcome here, or anywhere!

You have so little time in this life. It's not worth spending any of it on the things that don't fulfill your highest purpose. You know what that is. It's that feeling inside of you that makes you feel so excited that you can't contain it, and when it's expressed you feel a kind of energy that's difficult to reproduce in any other way. When you claim it, a shift happens and you can never go back to the way you once were. Stop thinking, start doing!

~ Animals have their own voices, but few listen.
Those of us who hear them, must help them to be heard. ~

This group organizes and promotes peaceful direct ACTion demonstrations.

Why peaceful direct ACTion? Because animals are suffering NOW! If you want to be a voice for the animals and our earth, and get ACTive through peaceful, public, grassroots action, this is the group for you. This is an action based group, beyond letter writing and making phone calls (though those actions are also good things to do, they will not be our main focus).

How we use and treat animals, from factory farms to wildlife, has an impact on us and our environment, besides the suffering caused to the most innocent among us who are entirely at our mercy.

Our activities are a great way to speak up for animals and our earth, and meet other nice folks. We are not a rescue group, but we will have contacts with rescue groups and will help as much as we can. Our signs and leaflets are READY! SET! Let's GO!

PEACE. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still BE CALM IN YOUR HEART.

This group is sponsored and supported by Animal Action Network (AAN), a small local nonprofit, educational organization.

AAN also supports VegFest Colorado, Vegan Life Colorado, the related community group Vegan Life Colorado meetup, as well as Boulder Vegans & Friends meetup, Colorado Springs Animal Action Network (CS AAN) meetup, and Veg Grand Junction meetup.

If you would also like to participate in fun social activities, like potlucks, movies, hiking, etc, join us at Vegan Life Colorado, Our MeetUp.

"Deep down, we all just want to yell, especially when confronted with the enormity of the problem, but ultimately that just makes people turn away and close their ears. People listen to the substance of the message if they're able to get past the tone of the message. If the tone of the message is too strident or too didactic or too loud, people won't pay attention to the substance of it." ~ Moby
