Thanksgiving Vigil for Turkeys
Please Join Us in Bethesda, MD, November 20th
United Poultry Concerns will hold a Vigil for Turkeys on Friday evening, November 20th from 7:00 to 8:30pm. Please join us at the Giant Food Store corner of Arlington Road & Elm Street, in Bethesda, Maryland, to leaflet and hold posters on behalf of the millions of turkeys who are being slaughtered for Thanksgiving Day.

The Vigil will begin with a five-minute talk by UPC President Karen Davis about the atrocities committed against turkeys. This will be followed by a silent demonstration, including leafleting and sign-holding, until 8:25pm. UPC member, Sarah Kindrick, will conclude the Vigil with a five-minute eulogy for all of the turkeys who have suffered and died needlessly for Thanksgiving.
