CATV (Boulder Community television- channel 54) will be airing an hour long episode of "Veg Video" this Thursday at 7pm. It will be repeated subsequent Thursdays during that time slot for four weeks, and also will run on Friday from midnight to 1am and again at 11am. Be sure to watch and encourage friends to tune in as well! The plan is to submit many more episodes to be aired after this initial run.
To learn more about Veg Video, visit http://www.vegvideo.org
It would be wonderful if people in other communities in Colorado would submit episodes to their local stations, too. We could reach so many more people! It was an *unbelievably* simple process to get this on the air in Boulder, and we know what a potent tool footage like this is to help animals. Veg Video is a great resource!
Do you have some things lying around you don't need anymore? We have a wish list (http://rmad.org/wishlist.html)! If you can donate any of those items, we'll put em to good use for the animals!
Please contact the RMAD office (office@rmad.org) if you can help.
thanks!
RMAD Events:
The RMAD Calendar (http://rmad.org/calendar.html) is full of great events coming up and all summer long! Work parties, fairs, meetings, and more. These events are great ways to get involved with RMAD and helping animals in the Rocky Mountain Region.
Next RMAD Companion Animals meeting
At our last meeting, we discussed some ideas for finishing up existing projects (primarily the flyers) as well as gathering information for new projects. We anticipate having group flyer distributions during the month of April.
Our next meeting will be on February 26, 2005 (Saturday) at 9:30 am at Watercourse. For those who don't know, Watercourse is a vegetarian/vegan restaurant in Denver, located at 13th and Sherman.
We will be discussing organization of the flyer distribution events and preliminary plans for implementation of new ideas!

RMAD and other local animal rights groups and farm sanctuaries invites you to a special screening of the award-winning documentary Peaceable Kingdom
Wednesday, March 2nd at 6:30 pm
Denver University
2000 E. Asbury, Sturm Hall - Classroom 451
Followed by panel Q&A session with Mark Reinhardt (Rocky Mountain Animal Defense), Stephen Billig (Vegetarian Nutrition Society of Colorado), Michelle Alley-Grubb (Peaceful Prairie Animal Sanctuary), and Marisa Miller (Vegan Activist w/Global Green Foundation).
Free and open to the public/Free refreshments
Peaceable Kingdom, a 70-minute documentary that is currently showing at film festivals across the country, highlights the struggles of people who have come to a point in their lives where they must follow their conscience, even though it means giving up their livelihood, their community, and all they were raised to believe and do.
It's about a fourth-generation Montana cattle rancher who experiences an epiphany during a health crisis and resolves to devote his life to undoing the damage done by his agribusiness empire. It's about a Michigan beef farmer whose childhood wounds are healed by the unexpected affection of a sanctuary cow. And it's about a young couple who stumble upon a massive injustice hidden away by the factory farming industry, and find they cannot turn away, even though they can only help one animal at a time.
An inspiring story of personal redemption, compassion, healing and hope, Peaceable Kingdom recently received the Ojai Film Festival theme award for "enriching the human spirit through film." The film had its World Premiere at Lincoln Center in Manhattan and has been selling out theaters and receiving standing ovations in major cities where it has been shown.
