Transit-Friendly Hikes and Walks in (or near) Philadelphia are my personal focus as Organizer (as a car-free person), although carpooling is occasionally arranged.  I originally joined this group because of its low-key focus: simple local hikes, within an hour's drive of Philadelphia.   Please check our past calendar for the kinds of events we do (and may again).  Also please contact me if you have ideas for future events (especially if you are willing to work on them yourself). Thanks and see y …

If we're at all serious about helping ensure a better future for animals, we have to start demanding much more from ourselves than we have previously. We have to dedicate ourselves to effective campaigning. We have to support local grass-roots struggles, both in the streets and with donations.

Note: **This is an update from the original copy.

It also includes the effect of prejudice and discrimination based on the aforementioned topics, as well as sexual disorders". There's a plethora of topics and issues to cons …
