The annual National Anti-Fur March will take place on Saturday 13th November in London, marking the beginning of this year's Anti-Fur Week (see below). The march will be through the fashionable areas of Knightsbridge, South Kensingon and Chelsea, and will give us a chance to name and shame some of the most famous names in fashion who are still involved in the bloody fur industry.
We hope to see as many
of you there as possible. Meet at 12 noon, Belgrave Square, London SW1X
8PQ. Nearest Tube is Victoria or Hyde Park Corner.
There are leaflets for the march which you can order from us, or you can
download from the CAFT website. Please help us to advertise the march by
getting the leaflets displayed in libraries, health food shops, general
shops, community centres, colleges and schools etc, or by distributing them
to friends, and other activists, on stalls, or other events.
