SUMMARY:AR Chats @ Wishbone
DESCRIPTION:Come join with other like-minded and like-hearted people to chat\, brainstorm\, and strategize about standing up for the animals! \nOn the agenda:  Along with general discussion about getting animal-active\, planning has begun for the 2025 Toronto Animal Rights March!  Anyone interested in volunteering as an organizer\, we look forward to seeing you. \nZoom link available.  Contact Jenny McQueen\, Colleen Burns\, or Sue Spahr for details. \nA few details about AR Chats @Wishbone: \nWhether 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. \nAfter 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. \nSome attend one week\, but can’t come to the next one…just attend when you can. \nPlease feel free to bring a plant-based food item to share. \nLet’s return Toronto and other cities in Ontario to the thriving\, prolific animal activism centres they once were! \nAs 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. \nWishbone Animal Rights Lab…where vegan is the default\, NOT the option.

SUMMARY:PaintPix & Chill @ The Lab
DESCRIPTION:PaintPix & Chills have become popular\, so we’ve decided to make them a permanent regular fixture at Wishbone. Due to the need for artists need to spread out and create\, the event is capped at 15 participants. \nEnjoy a relaxing\, enjoyable afternoon and let your creative juices flow freely with Kieran Hayes\, volunteer at Wishbone (aka The Sunday Guy). \nBYOM (bring your own materials) or feel free to use what’s available at the Lab. \nAll skill levels from zero to Picasso are welcome. \nWe are a default-vegan centre\, so if you’re bringing food\, it must be plant-based only. \nAs 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 for this particular event. Our apologies in advance for this inconvenience. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Ontario Rally and Vigil for Endangered Species
DESCRIPTION:Join us to stand up for species-at-risk and our shared natural ecosystems! We will take over Queen’s Park to speak for the animals\, plants and fungi the Ford government seems to think are expendable. \nBring your flora\, fauna and fungi art\, costumes\, signs and lets make sure this government knows: species at risk are not red tape\, habitats are not for sale and First Nations’ rights are not optional. \nThe Ford government’s latest attempted land-grab–Bill 5– proposes to repeal Ontario’s Endangered Species Act and utterly abandon the province’s commitment to protecting wildlife and their habitats\, sacrificing them on the alter of corporate profits and hand-outs to big developers\, all in the middle of a biodiversity crisis. \nBill 5 also proposes to give unprecedented\, undemocratic amd unconstitutional powers to the provincial government through the designation of “Special Economic Zones” which would be above the law\, trampling on Indigenous Rights and community consultation.

SUMMARY:LIVE Studio Audience Taping - Calling All Vegans
DESCRIPTION:Friday the 13th?!? Hope you’re not superstitious! \nJoin us Friday\, June 13th at 1:30 (come a little earlier to pick your seat and get yourself settled) and be part of a live studio audience.\nFeel free to bring your lunch (but plant-based only). And you have our blessing to call your work and say you got “sick” all of a sudden\, or give yourself permission to take a well-deserved loooong lunch…and even don’t bother going back?. We won’t tell!\nAnd because it’s a weekday\, the vintage elevator will be running! \nSome of us are more logical and data-driven and generally lead with our heads\, while others of us fall under the more touchy-feely and even artsy-fartsy\, creative column\, and tend to follow our hearts. Saarang Ahuja has a big toe in both categories. Tech guy by trade\, but busting dance moves and supporting animal rights projects as his passion. And he got to wear both hats while contributing to the groundbreaking film\, “Christspiracy”\, being both an executive producer and a data scientist on the project.

DESCRIPTION:Come join with other like-minded and like-hearted people to chat\, brainstorm\, and strategize about standing up for the animals!\nOn 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! \nZoom link available. Contact Jenny McQueen\, Colleen Burns\, or Sue Spahr for details. \nA few details about AR Chats @Wishbone: \nWhether 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. \nAfter 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.\nSome attend one week\, but can’t come to the next one…just attend when you can. \nPlease feel free to bring a plant-based food item to share. \nLet’s return Toronto and other cities in Ontario to the thriving\, prolific animal activism centres they once were! \nAs 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. \nWishbone Animal Rights Lab…where vegan is the default\, NOT the option. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Banner Drop for Regan
DESCRIPTION:We will do a banner drop over the QEW\, a few minutes away from the slaughterhouse where Regan Russell was killed 5 years ago. \nRegan never got justice for her killing because unfortunately animal rights activists have the same rights as the animals\, to be slaughtered without human consequence. \nWhen raising our voice for Regan we are raising our voice for all victims of “allowed” violence. \nYou are always in our hearts Regan and we will continue to fight for justice to end the violence that is animal agriculture. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:RALLY: Animal Justice in Court to Block Return of Ag Gag Law
DESCRIPTION:Ontario’s dangerous ag gag law—which punishes whistleblowers and hides animal abuse— is back in court. After a judge struck down much of the law as unconstitutional last year\, the province filed an appeal in an attempt to overturn our hard-fought legal victory. Join Animal Justice and friends for a powerful rally outside the Ontario Court of Appeal as we return to the courtroom to defend the ruling. \nThe appeal will be heard by the Ontario Court of Appeal on Tuesday\, June 24 & Wednesday\, June 25. We need you there to show the court—and the public—that Canadians won’t accept laws that cover up cruelty and silence the truth about abuse at farms and slaughterhouses. Join us in an eye-catching rally\,  and help us spread the message that ag gag laws have NO place in Canada! \nSigns will be provided\, and you are welcome to bring your own. Bring your friends\, family\, and fellow advocates! \nNote: Please check the Faceboook event page for updates.

DESCRIPTION:Join Mercy For Animals volunteers to demand Sobeys to publish a time-bound plan for fulfilling their pledge to eliminate extreme confinement for hens in their egg supply chain. We will be out front of Sobeys corporate office voicing for the chickens. \nIn 2016\, Sobeys and their parent company\, Empire\, publicly promised to stop sourcing eggs from caged hens by 2025. \nYears later\, despite ruling over some of Canada’s largest and most profitable grocery brands\, Empire retracted their commitment deadline in 2021\, stating that they would not meet their original deadline. \nSobeys promised to publish an updated plan for finishing their transition but has yet to share how and when they plan to fulfill their cage-free promise. \nWe’re urging Sobeys to publish a time-bound plan for fulfilling their pledge to eliminate extreme confinement for hens in their egg supply chain. \nLearn about our current Canadian campaign here: https://empireofgreed.ca \nWe will be at the Sobeys located at 4980 Tahoe Blvd\, Mississauga\, ON L4W 0C7\, Canada\, Tuesday\, June 24\, at 1 PM to inform the public about this issue and hold them accountable to their promise. \nWe will have a banner\, signs\, and leaflets to use the day of.

DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday\, July 4th at 1:30 (come a little earlier to pick your seat and get yourself settled) and be part of a live studio audience. Free slice of pizza! But feel free to bring your own lunch (plant-based only). And you have our blessing to call your work and say you got “sick” all of a sudden and you’ll be back on Monday. We won’t tell! \nAnd because it’s a weekday\, the vintage elevator will be running! \nMore details to come\, but we’ve got nutrition professor\, author\, non-animal researcher\, plant-based chef\, and vegan-show host\, Amy Symington; Baladi Dog Rescue of Ontario volunteer (and buddy of mine whom I’m finally meeting in person)\, Kelly Smith; and performer and vegan entrepreneur\, Gabe Nadler aka Gaiasi. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Movie Night at the Lab - The Animals Film
DESCRIPTION:LabFlix and Chill! Plant-based concession stand snacks available for purchase. \n**Two short selections from the 2024 International Vegan Film Festival: “Let Death Be Kinder Than Man” by Vinzent Schatzmann and “I Want” by Raz Raivitz. \nTHE ANIMALS FILM:\nReleased in 1981\, but still shockingly relevant to today\, this controversial\, unflinching film was the “Earthlings” of its time.\nCreated by visionary filmmaker Victor Schonfeld and narrated by Julie Christie\, it exposes the many ways in which animals are exploited by humans — for food\, science\, entertainment\, and more. \nCombining rare footage and powerful storytelling\, it also traces the rise of the global animal rights movement. \nThe Lab is a default-vegan space\, so all outside food must be plant-based. Animal-friendly snacks are available at the concession stand. Vish\, our little plushie Ambassador of Anti-Speciesism\, gets LOTS to eat\, so don’t let him fool you when he asks for some of your popcorn! \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.
