Animal Place, founded in 1989, is a sanctuary for farmed animals and an education center. It is located in the rolling hills of Vacaville, an hour from both Sacramento and San Francisco. Around 300 pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, potbellied pigs, rabbits and cattle live at the shelter. The class is at the sanctuary.

Animal Activist Training

Ever get into a discussion with someone about vegetarianism or factory farming practices and not sure how to reply to their questions?

Layers Do you read the "letters to the editor" section in your local paper and wonder how you can write an effective commentary on animal issues?

Do you think lobbying your legislators is just for the big wigs?

Are you wanting to help more animals but don't know how?

If you answered yes to just one of these questions than this is the workshop for you!

Join us for an interactive and informative training session integrating fascinating facts about farmed animals and tools on how you can help!

The workshop covers:

* Effective letter writing

* Tabling

* Leafleting
