Protests for animals, peace

PEORIA -- Stand up for animals.

This event is in conjunction with World Farmed Animals Day which is a campaign initiated by FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement). Demonstrators want to educate the public about the horrific cruelty and suffering endured by billions of farmed animals each year in this country.

Stand up for peace.

The Peoria Area Peace Network will stand from noon - 1 p.m. on Sat., Oct. 17 at the corner of West Main and University. Signs will have messages such as "Troops home now from Afghanistan and Iraq."

Meanwhile the group continues to protest war every Saturday at that location and time. Signs are supplied.

  • Telling the truth
    "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell "I found that to tell the truth is the hardest thing on earth, harder than fighting in a war, harder than taking part in a revolution." Richard Wright, 1944.
  • From the News Release
    PeoriaStory will tell the stories that likely won’t be told by the mainstream/corporate media. It will question local political candidates for their views on controversial topics. It will cover and profile off-beat movements and people. It will take stands on issues such as the Kellar trail. It will also serve as a forum for liberal and progressive events, and welcomes news releases from groups working for the public good. PeoriaStory will be a fresh, new voice for the Peoria area blogosphere, and offer a liberal and progressive perspective for our times.
