Are any Unleashed members going to this event? Have you been to one before? I would like to hear any tips you have as I would be travelling alone & quite a distance to get there.
Hey Melanie that's awesome you're coming down for it! I've been to every AAF and they're fantastic and soooo worth the trip! If you come to Melbourne a day early, there is a Day of Activism being held as part of the Forum. So you can have lunch and dinner with other activists and get a tour of Melbourne while going to rallies and leafletting and watching docos. Here is the facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/156309514568739/?fref=ts
The AAF ticket sales close at midnight on Saturday 12th October
and there can be no admittance to the forum without a pre-booked ticket. You can book here: http://www.activistsforum.com
Don't forget about the AAF Day of Activism on Fri 18th Oct, it's going to be a day of movies, demos, leafleting, talks and food! You can confirm your attendance here:
Links won't open on my computer. But it sounds awesome, really wish I could go. I want to introduce my awesome/wacky family in melbourne too, but I just started a new job and don't really want to be asking for time off just yet. And his work is pretty bad about letting him take time off.
It's World Animal Day! Today over 40 animal welfare oganisations in Australia unite to promote the release the Animal Effect smartphone app (www.animaleffect.com) and fundraise for their organisation through the sales. Check it out and download today!
