I love this shirt from Compassion Co.
Salutations Flock,
Danielle Legg here, OHH’s Outreach Manager, and have I got news for you! At Our Hen House we’re always trying to think of great deals for you, to thank you for your amazing support, and to help you change the world for animals in new and fun ways.#PRIVATE# I’m always thinking “what would get me stoked?” I then quickly remember that lots of things make me smile so big my cheeks hurt and my heart flutters. I love visiting farm sanctuaries, sporting vegan T-shirts, eating vegan food (lots of vegan food), and talking about why I’m so jazzed about being vegan. When I realized that I could combine two of my favorite things for the Flock, well, as you can imagine, I got some pretty serious smile on.
This is where my great news comes in! While thinking about deals that would excite me, one amazing company popped into my head – Compassion Company! Perhaps you’ve seen the beautiful shirt designs from these fine folks? They’ve also got buttons galore, and who doesn’t love buttons?! Throw one on a purse or a hoodie and there you’ve got it – another way to spark conversation without saying a word. I reached out to the fantastic peeps at Compassion Company and told them how much we at OHH love their designs, and how much we wanted to be able to give you, our Flock, a fantastic discount. When I heard back from them the same day I nearly tipped the chair I was sitting in because I was so thrilled! Compassion Company is offering a 15% discount on every order just for you! Just enter FLOCK15 when you check out, and poof! You’ll get 15% off! Note that this offer is good for one month. The code will expire on July 5, 2013.
This is Jasmin last year at NYC’s Veggie Pride Parade, sporting another great Compassion Co shirt!
The conversations that you don’t start can sometimes be the best conversations, because, chances are, if a friendly gal or gent has approached you and is checking out your wares (shirt, earrings, buttons, or your ink if you’ve got it), she or he is interested in what you’ll say. I wear my activism all the time. My clothes, earrings, jewelry, and even my tattoos give me a jumping-off point to plant seeds of compassion with every single person who asks, “Are those chickens?” “Are you vegan?” “What do you eat?” “What do those earrings say?” “What is 118?”*
The best part is you don’t have to get tattoos to start conversations that will change the world for animals. You just have to enter FLOCK15 to save 15% off when you’re done clicking and browsing and adding to your cart at Compassion Company. When your package arrives, you’ll be ready to go out and wear your conversation starter! Get shopping!
XO Danielle
If you look closely, you can see the “118” tattoo on my wrist there. Oh, and there’s the glorious Fanny on my right.
P.S. *Wondering what 118 is? It’s the ear-tag number of one of my most favorite cows, Fanny, who was rescued by Farm Sanctuary. Fanny stole my heart the first time that I met her. She’s also featured in The Ghosts In Our Machine. Liz Marshall, the producer of the film, was a guest on Our Hen House’s podcast, back on Episode 91 — and in Episode 170, Jasmin and Mariann reviewed the film (they also make a cameo in it)! You can learn more about The Ghosts In Our Machine on their website, or check it out on Facebook or Twitter (@GhostsMovie).
