BARC will be holding a demonstration at a nearby KFC on Thursday! The KFC is located at 805 North Main, Providence RI 02904. We will meet at Faunce Arch at 4:00pm on Thursday, April 17 and walk to the KFC together (it's about a mile away).
We have signs and leaflets that Peta sent us, so all you need is yourself and your cruelty-protesting energy! (And bring some friends while you're at it.)
The demonstration will substitute for our usual Thursday meeting, which will not be held this week.

The Great American Meatout
Meatout is the world's largest grassroots diet education campaign. BARC will be hosting a Meatout event on Thursday, March 20 at 6:30pm at the Taubman Center for Public Policy.
This will be a casual potluck dinner, and you are welcome to bring a dish if you would like. We ask that food be vegan: no meat, dairy or eggs, please. With or without a dish, everyone is invited to come!
The Taubman Center is located at 67 George St., across the street from the Main Green.

"Earthlings" film screening
BARC will be hosting a free screening of the acclaimed documentary film Earthlings on Thursday, February 28 at 8:00pm in Foxboro Auditorium. Narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, Earthlings describes the ways in which people abuse and exploit nonhuman animals. Earthlings is perhaps the most comprehensive and compelling film of its kind, covering the treatment of animals used for food, pets, clothing, entertainment and scientific research.
Everyone is urged to attend, but most importantly, please encourage friends and other acquaintances to come as well. It's worth it.
Want to help prepare for the screening? Please contact adam_hoffman@brown.edu
NOTE: This week's BARC meeting will be moved to 8pm and held in Wilson 103 in order to accommodate people going to see Michael Pollan speak about food and ethics.
