- Date: Monday, April 13th, "Easter Monday"
- Time: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Where: The Washington Monument Grounds Northwest Quadrant
near Constitution Avenue
- Metro: (1) Smithsonian 12th street exit. Go west to 17th &
Constitution Avenue, about 5 blocks. (2) Farragut West 17th
Street exit. Go south to Constitution. About 5 blocks.
- Why: To staff table, hold posters, and distribute literature
in conjunction with the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, where
2-to-6-year old children push hard-boiled eggs down a 10-yard
lane with plastic soup ladles on the White House lawn. About
20,000 people attend this event, which uses 7,000 hard boiled eggs
from battery-caged hens. As a souvenir, each child receives
a colored wooden egg "signed" by the president.
Our United Poultry Concerns table will tell the truth about
eggs including the cages, debeaking, forced molting, filth,
salmonella, slaughtering, and total suffering. We will have
handout literature, posters, and a Banner: Sick Chickens Cooped
in Poop!
We'll feature Replacing Eggs & Celebrate Life Without Eggs.
Please Join Us. We Need Your Help.
Look for the Bright Blue Plastic Canopy.
