On October 14, 2003, RAPS participated in 4th National Day of Leafleting Schools. Animal Rights International, VIVA!, and Vegan Outreach sponsored this event, which promotes plant-based diet. There were about 100 colleges all over the U.S. "adopted" by activists for this leafleting day. The sponsors provide free or low cost vegetarian informational supplies, then activists select a school to "adopt", and hand out the information to the students.
A single RAPS member distributed 300 Why Vegan? booklets at the University Center of Rochester, MN. Arriving mid-morning donning a big friendly veggie smile, she first approached groups of students and individuals. Asking whether they would like a vegetarian booklet--more than half said,"Yes." She discovered a key distribution location inside the atrium, where students utilize the staircase between classes. Once one person took the booklet, then almost everyone that followed would too. RAPS found this event quite rewarding. It was fun to watch the students read the booklets and to get into a few conversations about vegetarianism.
RAPS
goal is to adopt as many colleges, high schools, music concerts,
sporting events, and parades.
