Dear Friend,

My wife Roberta and I are founding a revolutionary concept of a VEGAN RESTAURANT as a way of self-sustained activism. Now we need all support we can get, including yours, to make this happen. We applied for the “Free Range Youtopia Grant”, and are competing with lots of projects and need votes to win – this is where your help is needed! Please take some minutes to vote for us.

We want to change the cruel and unsustainable food industry by using the power of free market competition and by influencing our society’s eating behavior. We will prove that our revolutionary vegan foods can be much more appetizing that any unethical and unsustainable menus. As a social business, our profits will be used to develop a sustainable, ethical and healthy living culture in the communities we are involved with and to accomplish social and environmental missions, mainly at the Amazon.

You can vote on our project at the Youtopia Grant page:

http://youtopia.uservoice.com/pages/33754-socially-responsible-for-profit/suggestions/387091-tapioca-happy-food?ref=title

If this link doesn’t go straight to Tapioca Happy Food, go to:

http://youtopia.freerangeproject.com, “VOTE”, click on the “SOCIAL RESPONSIBLE FOR-PROFIT” section, and vote on “TAPIOCA HAPPY FOOD”.

Free Range Studios will give U$ 15,000 worth of design or strategic communications services to the winner. Please take a minute to vote and help our vegan restaurant to take off.

We would also appreciate if you could forward this message to your friends and ask them to support our project too.

For more informations about us, go to http://tapiocahappyfood.blogspot.com

Thanks for your support,

Gunter Filho


Who we are


Tapioca is an initiative from activists Roberta Kleber and Gunter Filho, both former crewmembers of the renowned Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
Roberta was the cook at the ships R/V Farley Mowat and M/S Steve Irwin, where she cooked for 45-50 crewmembers, three meals a day, with limited resources and in extreme conditions while sailing thru the roughest oceans in the world.
Gunter was the former 1st Officer and Manager of this ships, where he helped to organize two anti-whaling campaigns in Antarctica and leaded groups of 45-50 crewmembers during innumerous ocean going expeditions against whaling, shark-fining and illegal fishing..

In September of 1998, the Drive Against Malaria was launched from British Royal Navy vessel HMS Fearless by the First Sea Lord. This was David Robertson's one man mission to drive through as many countries as he could, creating the “Worlds Longest Journey.” The goal of this record breaking mission was to bring attention and raise money to fight Africa’s forgotten disease and the biggest killer of young children. David Robertson went on to drive through 27 European countries to show the importance of helping Africa’s poorest. Malaria causes extreme poverty, lost education, hospitalization and 3,000 young lives taken every day. He met Ambassadors, Lord Mayors, Secretes of State, Bishops, Prime Ministers, the press, radio with television. As he continued to drive from capital to capital.

David Robertson drove through a total of 27 European countries before shipping his Land Rover to South Africa where the African leg began in March, 1999. The African Drive was launched by Dr. David Nabarro of The World Health Origination’s Roll Back Malaria. The launch was at the MIM conference Durban before 800 scientists, Ministers of Health to 24 African Countries and the South African media. David Robertson then started driving though the southern African countries visiting hospitals, schools, health centers and holding press conference in each country.

The journey was both challenging and dangerous due to dreadful driving conditions, bandits, armed military, desert crossings and minefields, but this did not deter David Robertson’s mission with the Drive Against Malaria. In fact, it made him more determined than ever to fight malaria for the children of Africa.

In November 1999, David Robertson met Julia Samuel in Ghana while giving away nets to hospitals. Since that day, Julia Samuel has followed David to film every mile he drives, the children he meets and the life saving mosquito nets he gives away.

Support David and Julia who will be in Africa the next six months to fight malaria!

Can you picture 7,000 young buffaloes being rounded up and killed by a thousand drunk men carrying large knives? A festival where 200,000 animals are killed to please a goddess?

This is exactly what -if nothing is done- will happen from November 24, 2009, onwards in Nepal. The Gadimai Festival in Bariyarpur, Bara District, is held each 5 years. The mass sacrifice turns the entire area into a marshy land of blood. The Animal Welfare Network Nepal together with Anti-sacrifice Alliance want to end this bloody, cruel practice.

Please sign this petition:
http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/stop-gadimai.html

For more information go to Worship Without Cruelty at http://animalnepal.org/campaigns_wwc.htm
Petition:
To the Ministers of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, Peace Secretariat and Law and Justice and Parliamentary Affairs.

Dear Sirs,

We, the signatories, call on the Nepal authorities to end extreme animal cruelty at Gadimai Festival. Each five years in the month of Kartik devotees sacrifice around 200,000 animals (including 6,000 young male buffaloes). Innocent creatures are killed en masse in a very unorganised manner by drunk devotees who enter the temple area with khukuri knives to cut off the heads of frightened buffaloes.

No one can adequately explain why these practices are carried out year after year – except to say they are ‘traditional’. This however is not a valuable argument to commence these practices; Nepal, realising the adverse effects, has abolished a number of ‘traditions’ in the past, including human sacrifice and widow burning.

We feel the time has come to abolish the above practices for the following reasons:

1. Nepal is concerned about the welfare of its precious flora and fauna, and has signed a number of international Wildlife Treaties followed by the introduction of the Meat Act, which introduces humane killing of livestock and poultry. The cruelty displayed in these so-called traditions completely contradicts the spirit and gestures of these treaties and acts.

2. As tourists are abhorred by such practices, the festivals will have an adverse effect on tourism, an industry which provides the country with much-needed financial returns. Those foreigners who experience or come to know the extent of sacrifice in this country leave Nepal confused and with a heavy heart, rather than uplifted by its paradoxical beauty and friendliness.

3. Cruelty against animals harms society as a whole; it signals and normalises insensitivity in children who can become numb to the suffering of living beings, it is also known to influence certain people to commit violence on other humans. Now that the armed conflict has ended Nepal needs peaceful practices that educate the next generation for a harmonious society.

4. Sacrifices often strengthen the vested interest of those who benefit from superstition-based beliefs and rituals. As Nepal is moving ahead to become a more fully democratic, egalitarian society, it is crucial to challenge age-old beliefs which are not beneficial and drain the resources of the poor and needy.

We urge you to end the violent practices and help Nepal move towards a truly peaceful country, and in keeping with its international image. This can be done by introducing and enforcing a much-needed Animal Welfare Act to curb animal cruelty and by promoting genuine animal welfare activities across the country.

We trust that you will support these measures (which are becoming more popular by the day, around the globe and thus promote non-violent cultural practices in Nepal.

Sincerely,

Your Name & Address

Will you help me fight FGM?



Female genital mutilation is not an “exotic issue”: Today, FGM is one of the most systematic and widespread mistreatment and violation of childrens’ rights worldwide. Every year, more than three million victims are submitted to this violence on the African continent alone. Those victims from Yemen, the united Arab Emirates, Iraq and Iran, Indonesia and Malaysia have even to be added.
The extent of FGM might be hard to believe: Up to 90 % of a country´s or a region´s female children (e.g., in Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia, Gambia, Sierra Leone, etc.) are victimized by genital mutilations. The vast majority of the victims is physically and mentally damaged and traumatised for life. We have to assume that today, more than 200 million victims exist worldwide.

As long as this violence is not stopped, as long as the deliberate damaging of whole female generations goes on, broad and lasting development in these countries or regions remains impossible. This means, that the end of female genital mutilation and the consequent protection of future generations is a very important key for lasting development.

Every organisation that works with a sponsored child system has a special responsibility and duty of care for the sponsored children: All above mentioned organisations market sponsorships for female children in countries and regions where genital mutilations are widespread.
Have you ever asked the organisations whether and how the sponsored girls are protected from female genital mutilation? Not yet? We did!

We are not talking about some individually viewed cases, but up 400,000 sponsored girls in 18 countries to whom protection is denied!




Please find here an interview with Lucy Mashua, who originally comes from the South of Kenya and who decided to take the campaign under her patronage:
Lucy Mashua
Lucy Mashua comes from South Kenya, from a Maasai family. Today, the 30-years old woman lives in Dallas where, after a long Odysse, she found a new home. At age of nine, she became a victim of female genital mutilation, at age of twelve, she was sold to a 53-year old man, did escape from him - and dedicated herself already at age of 21 to the protection of girls from genital mutilation. Countless girls she helped to flee from this violence. Several times, she has been arrested, raped and tortured by the Clan-chefs - but imperturbably she continued to fight for the most fundamental rights of women and children - especially the fight for an end of FGM. About these practices she says: "Every year, thousands of girls and women die from female genital mutilation - if this is not genocide, what is it then?" ... "I want to be a voice for the voiceless" Lucy claims and raises her voice - strong, consequent and imperturbable. Lucy Mashua supports our campaign to protect sponsored girl-children in projects of German and International development agencies.

She talked with us about her decision.

What you can do

Until now, PLAN International, World Vision, Kindernothilfe (Germany) and ChildFund Germany have not felt prompted to protect the sponsored girls from FGM. One reason for their ignorant attitude is the fact that donors mostly do not consequently demand the protection of their sponsored children.
As long as you, as a donor, accept the organisations' policy of FGM-tolerance and silently continue to wire money to their accounts, you encourage them to retain this policy.

But if you think that it's time for a change you can play an important part in this – and it does not cost you any money, but only a few minutes of your time and a few clicks:

Simply sign one, several or all of the following letters and send them to the board of PLAN International, World Vision, Kindernothilfe (Germany) and Children's fund CCF / ChildFund Germany.
By signing these letters:

- you call for the stipulation of the safety and protection from FGM of the sponsored girls in the preconditions for support for the communities,

- you call for a careful selection of the project partners, means that only those communities are supported who respect the most fundamental children's and human rights and and so proof their will to develop,

- you call for an investment of donations in the most economic and effective way.

WHY CONNECT MALARIA AND POVERTY?

UN economists identified malaria as one of the top four causes of poverty. Every year it kills > 3 million people and is estimated to cost the African economy $30 billion per year (more than 500 million per year get malaria).

Professor Jeffrey Sachs (read the End of Poverty) believes ending malaria is the most important priority in lifting Africa out of poverty.

"Comprehensive malaria control in Africa is achievable by 2010 at the minimal cost of US $3 billion per year. Millions of lives can be saved, and Africa will be given vital help in escaping from the vicious cycle of poverty and disease that continues to grip the continent by saving the $30 billion per year that it loses in productivity and medical costs every year.

By joining malaria and poverty together we aim to educate people around the world of this vicious cycle. The comments below indicate people need to be educated about this connection. Black profile pics are used because they provoke interest and awareness.

One example of the nefarious connection between malaria and poverty is the sale of bad drugs to poor people. It is estimated by the WHO that 20% of the people who die from malaria, die because they took bad drugs. To learn more about this problem visit http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=13378950417&ref=ts

and sign the petition to say NO MORE BAD DRUGS FOR POOR PEOPLE.

Campaign: Protection of sponsored girl-children from Female Genital Mutilation

We are glad to welcome you on our campaign website!

We would like to offer you the opportunity to support the abandonment of violence and harm against children - without the need to invest a single cent.

Do you empathize with distressed and suffering children in developing countries? Do you wish that each single child could get a chance for a better life? Therefore, you think about sponsoring a child in a developing country? Such as provided by organisations like PLAN International, WorldVision, Kindernothilfe (in Germany) or Children's fund CCF / ChildFund Germany? Or do you already donate 300,- to 360,- EURO/Dollars per year for a sponsored child to one of the mentioned organisations?

In that case, you should have a careful look:

Sister Fa, the Hip-Hop-Queen from Senegal, dedicates her music amongst others to an end of female genital mutilation in her native country Senegal.
Sister Fa
She knows exactly what she's talking about when she mentions the "sad and injured girls" who are victims of female genital mutilation. In January 2008, Sister Fa realised a tour with concerts in several towns and villages in Senegal. "Education without mutilation" was the slogan of that tour. With her music, she achieved to reach and awake especially the young generation. An upcoming tour is already in preparation.

Cause Announcement from STOP the Whale Hunt! A GREENPEACE CAUSE TO SAVE THE WHALES??? WTF?

Activist training with GREENPEACE posted in SAVE THE WHALES? This is SICK!
This is how Greenpeace is working....they keep on fooling the people and keep on collecting millions to save the whales.... did they defend the whales in 2008? No not one single whale!
Asking for more reserves is useless if you don't protect the whales in the Sanctuary! SEA SHEPHERD is the way to go if you want to save the whales!

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=1055707347&v=app_2347471856&viewas=1055707347

Ask Greenpeace why they collect money to defend the whales!
