AR Chats – Saturday, June 28, 2025

Come join with other like-minded and like-hearted people to chat, brainstorm, and strategize about standing up for the animals!
After the chat, join us from 2:00 to 3:00 to “Stick ‘Em Up” and hang posters re: banning fireworks, reminding people to put out water for wildlife, and showing our support for our LGBTQ+ friends.

On the agenda: Along with general discussion about getting animal-active, we’re down to the short strokes with planning for the 2025 Toronto Animal Rights March!

Zoom link available. Contact Jenny McQueen, Colleen Burns, or Sue Spahr for details.

A few details about AR Chats @Wishbone:
Whether you’re a seasoned advocate or someone new to the scene, this is a judgment-free, no-pressure environment that welcomes every idea and supports every comfort level. Because each person is uniquely wired and different tactics resonate with different people, there’s no one foolproof form of activism.

After each session, attendees are encouraged to participate in a street action to put your new skills and energy into practice (this is totally voluntary, no pressure). And sometimes homework will be assigned and due for discussion at the next scheduled meeting.
Some attend one week, but can’t come to the next one…just attend when you can.

Please feel free to bring a plant-based food item to share.

Let’s return Toronto and other cities in Ontario to the thriving, prolific animal activism centres they once were!
As the building that houses Wishbone is a heritage building boasting one of the last attendant-operated elevators in the city of Toronto (but only during weekday office hours), Wishbone will unfortunately not be accessible to anyone requiring a lift to the third floor. Our apologies in advance for this inconvenience.
