Glf:Site Demo

Intro

• fortuitous to be in Seattle at this time, with so much going on with the formation of Justice for Amimals Outreach and everything going on surrounding that

• I started including Seattle on my activism stops in 2017, tabling and leafleting with NARN and Rachel

• Since I’ve been welcomed and feel intergrated with the AR community here.

• I started Justiceforanimals.org in 2016

• Isaac has copyedited virtually everything on the site, so 'chime in

• This month, after months of prep, I converted the site to a wiki to make if more collaborative, more encycopedic, and easier to edit.

• I'm in the process of getting incorporated, getting a non-profit status, and recruiting writers.

Motivations for Starting

• Tons of sites, many excellent
• Still found it difficult to get well-sourced information..
• ...organized in a manner useful for advocacy, but some place i could see beginners and the curious
  • all called on to be advocates where where are reaching out or others are reaching out to us
• i wanted a site that could meet other goals, which I'll go over

First, a very brief tour of the site

• After that, I'll go over some of the goals and show you how they are realized on the site.

• go over all listing

• • Beginner - I'll be changing this to work better with the card
  • In reply to:
  • Tables: can be included—slaughter counts
  • Notes: not enough to be an article
  • Archive: to save (Regan's speech

    • Beginner Listing but also in Replies and other areas

    • clear throughout the site

• structured
  • TOC - lends itself to skimming

• Tone: informal academic
  • friendly, no hyperbole, not judgemental, not pedantic

• POV
  • not for opinion pieces now
  • not for hit pieces
  • We have adopted an objective point of view, similar to Wikipedia's neutral point of view, as explained below. An exception is that we are not neutral in our belief that it is morally wrong to unnecessarily harm animals.
