=20=20
=20=20=20=20
=20=20
=20=20

Action for Animals is taking applications to be on our
crew for this summer’s Warped Tour.

**Please do not reply about volunteering at your local
show[s]; we will send a separate email about that soon.**

Being on the crew involves working all day outside at our booth at
Warped Tour shows and sharing the responsibility of driving the
van overnight between shows. Working the booth involves
leafleting, talking to concertgoers about veganism and animal
rights, and selling merchandise (shirts, stickers, buttons) to
help fund the tour.

This is a volunteer internship position (although AFA will pay for
food and travel expenses).

Applicant requirements:
Been vegan for at least one year
Be a non-smoker and drug-free
Be dedicated to promoting animal rights
Have knowledge of vegan and animal rights issues
Be very hard-working
Be able to work well with others
Be comfortable talking to people all day both at the booth and in
the crowd
Be capable of handling very loud, high-stress environments
Be able to lift 50 pounds regularly
Be able to drive a large van at night
Have a good driving record
Have had a drivers license for over 2 years
Be able to work in hot temperatures (sometimes over 100 degrees)
Not have any pre-existing medical conditions
Be over 18 years of age

Retail sales experience (handling merchandise, esp. apparel) and
prior activism experience are a plus.

AFA does not allow smoking, drinking, or drugs at our booth or in
our van. We ask all crew to be clean and sober while working with
AFA. We also require tour crew to shower daily and maintain good
personal hygiene.

If you’re interested in applying, please submit:
1) A cover letter

Your cover letter should include information about: why you
want to be on tour with AFA, how long you’ve been vegan, why you
became vegan, any significant activism experiance, what tour dates
you’re available for (you can view the tour schedule at http://www.vanswarpedt=
our.com/dates),

your date of birth, where you live, your contact phone and email,
and how long you have had your drivers license and how long your
record has been clean. If you have them, please also provide your
Facebook, Twitter, and/or tumblr URLs.

2) Resume
In addition to schooling and work history, your resume should
include all of your animal rights activism experience (as well as
any activism in any other movements) as well as any prior touring
experience. 
3) At least 2 references
Include name, email, and phone number for each reference. Please
also briefly state why you have listed each person as a reference.

Please send all information to: afa@afa-online.org

We look forward to hearing from you and hope to be working with
you this summer to advance animal liberation!

[saro_events] Climate Action Teach-in

Hello!

The Syracuse University and SUNY-ESF divestment
campaign would like to invite you to the Teach In we are holding this T=
hursday. This is an opportunity to make history, and show the world where w=
e students in Syracuse, NY stand on climate action!
Two principles call us to action this Thursday. The first is that the =
current way energy is being produced in this country will ultimately lead t=
o catastrophic
results. The second principle is that change will not come passively o=
n its own, especially when dealing with the richest corporations on the pla=
net and their wells of profit. It will take a massive shift in social consc=
iousness,
now, to welcome change and avoid the disaster that comes with a temp=
erature increase of up to 6 degrees C.
Something else very positive is happening here, too. We are creating a=
movement that goes deeper than our college affiliation, race, age, or cree=
d. We are standing together for future generations, for impoverished c=
ommunities, for life on earth : for justice!
Please come out this Thursday, and join student speakers and Ursula Ro=
sum for information and visual demonstrations. Information about where and =
when can be found on our

Facebook event page. Also, please share this invitation with your =
family, friends, clubs,
listserves, and social networks. We are hoping to make this event huge!

Yours in solidarity,
Mike S.
