The New River Valley Coalition for Animal Rights and the Environment is the local sponsor. The aim, according to sponsors, is to increase awareness of the extent to which animals suffer and human health is negatively affected by raising animals on factory farms in the United States.
Literature, displays, a panel discussion and other events are planned. Area college students and community members are asked to support the effort by not eating meat on Wednesday. Pledge tables will be set up in front of Dietrick and Shultz dining halls, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. The panel discussion is 7-8:30 p.m. in McBryde 202.
