Just a reminder to plan ahead. Take the day off or work and plan to hit the streets. Here's a note from IDA:

"Mark your calendar for the annual Fur Free Friday march! Starting (and ending) at Schumacher Furs, IDA will host a peaceful, police-escorted anti-fur march in the streets of downtown Portland, which will pass all the downtown stores that sell fur.

This Fur Free Friday marks the one-year anniversary of highly publicized, weekly demonstrations outside the Schumacher Fur Store.

What: Fur Free Friday march
When: Friday, November 24th - meet at 11:30 am - March begins promptly at noon
Where: Corner of SW 9th and SW Morrison, downtown Portland

After the march, activists can join IDA in a Fur-Free Party on the sidewalk outside Schumachers--complete with vegan cake--to celebrate this hugely successful, ongoing anti-fur campaign.

And then come back to Schumachers, 811 SW Morrison, every Saturday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. for our weekly outreach!
