I've arranged a print run of the "Why Vegan?" leaflets.
10'000 copies are about to be delivered to my doorstep on Tuesday. I need help getting them distributed. There's also 20'000 copies in Queensland for any takers there.

It's this leaflet, only with "Why Vegan?" on the cover, not "Why Veg?":

The plan is to get them distributed at Universities and colleges in Melbourne (and elsewhere). If you can get to a college, then please let me know.
If you are outside Melbourne, and keen to get involved, please contact me, and I'll try to get you some leaflets.

This is the philosophy behind Why Vegan? leafletting:

You may wish to join the adopt-a-college Yahoo group, and you can share leafletting stories with other people. Or we can just chat about it here! But if you send your numbers off, you can then have your leafletting numbers tracked here:

(My little group is listed as "The Melbourne Flyers")!. I believe this is the most efficient way to achieve an increase in the number of vegans & thereby pursue animal liberation.

This looks fantastic Roy! Great, great work on getting the 10,000 booklets printed!

I know it doesn't mean much saying it now, but next year when I'm hopefully at university, I definitely hope to become effective in helping adopt a university and get out the "why vegan" message. For now though, yr12 makes adopting a uni effectively tough. sad

I just met an Unleashed member, and an Animals Australia member whilst leafletting at Australian Catholic University.

If there are any university students that would like to help me, please get in touch. You don't have to be in Melbourne.

I'm bumping this up the forum...
Would anyone that can get to a college or University like to do some distribution?

All I ask is:
- Give them out by hand, don't just leave them on notice boards or cafeterias, in the hope someone takes them;
- Tell people what they are about first, don't trick people into taking one (they go in the bin)
- Be friendly
- Report your leafletting experiences on here, or via Vegan Outreach's yahoo group, in order to inspire others to do the same thing.

Oh, and read this:
