Events!
-It's time to get into the fur-free spirit! Friday, November 26 (the day after Thanksgiving) is Fur-Free Friday—the day on which animal lovers all around the world will educate holiday shoppers about the cruel fur industry. Every year, the fur industry heartlessly kills 50 million animals (www.bornfreeusa.org)--many of whom are skinned alive. This holiday season, we encourage you to take a stand against cruelty—do not include fur or fur-trimmed items on your holiday shopping list.
- Join the Richmond Youth Peace Project for a FREE interactive program on preventing youth gun violence.
