National Primate Liberation Week (NPLW) 2006 was even more successful
than the previous year�s NPLW with events in 16 cities covering 10
states.
NPLW 2006 events took place in Birmingham (AL), Davis, San Jose, & Los
Angeles (CA), Raleigh/Durham (NC), Storrs & Ridgefield (CT), Southboro/Boston
& Wilmington (MA), Minneapolis (MN), New York (NY), Columbus (OH),
Nashville, (TN), and Seattle (WA).
During NPLW 2006, SAEN
staff released internal documents from University of Washington
(Seattle), UCLA, and UC Davis. We also revealed federal reports exposing
primate abuse at Harvard, Charles River Labs, Boston University, MIT,
Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, and many other labs.
Media coverage of NPLW was substantial and widespread. Examples from
many cities including: Los Angeles and Davis (CA), Seattle (WA), and
Wilmington (MA) are in the Media Coverage section of our website at
www.saenonline.org.
For this week-long event Michael Budkie, SAEN�s Executive Director,
traveled to Los Angeles & Davis (CA), Seattle (WA), Wilmington (MA), and
Ridgefield (CT) to work with local groups to expose primate
experimentation.
We want to express our gratitude to all
activists who participated in this vitally important event. Even though
NPLW 2007 is several months away, please consider planning your
participation now!
