Kidz b Kidz Charity Performance
Last month bandmates Gary Pihl, Tommy DeCarlo and David Victor performed at the Kidz b Kidz 5th anniversary party in Boston. Supporting Kidz b Kidz benefits those dedicated to enhancing the lives of children who are in the hospital, and those determined to find cures for them. Proceeds from the sale of Kidz b Kidz products (all made with artwork created by kids!) are donated to hospitals nationwide. For more information, visit kidzbkidz.org
All of the band members are busy with their own projects. They all had a great time playing live last summer and are looking forward to going out again next year, monster gong and all. Check back on bandboston.com for further updates.
The program featured more than 100 sessions, including keynote addresses, video briefings on various forms of animal abuse, workshops on organizing and outreach skills, ideological ‘rap’ sessions, and campaign reports. Nearly 100 tables exhibited animal rights literature and merchandise. Scores of videos documented animal abuses and movement actions. The closing Awards Banquet featured winners of the Animal Rights Hall of Fame, Grassroots Animal Activist, and Celebrity Animal Advocate of the Year Awards. A day of intensive skills training, lobbying, and demonstrations followed the Conference. The timing of the conference marked a massive shift toward public acceptance of animal rights. This is reflected in public opinion surveys, enactment of animal protection legislation, reduced use and improved care of animals in laboratories, and growing popularity of vegetarian foods. Animal Rights 2007 is sponsored by FARM (Farm Animal Reform Movement), a national public interest organization advocating wholesome, nonviolent plant-based eating. Cosponsoring organizations include In Defense of Animals, The Vegan Sage, VegNews Magazine, Vegetarian Times, and E/Environmental Magazine.
