Event Description

Join PETA to protest URBN, which is a portfolio of global consumer brands including Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, and others.

URBN sells clothing that contains the wool of alpacas and sheep, as well as "leather" from cows and "cashmere" from goats. PETA investigations reveal that these animals suffer horribly when having their wool taken from them, and ultimately all of these animals end up slaughtered.
Please join us as we unite to tell URBN that there's no reason to use animals as clothing in 2020.

Event Details:
WHERE: Outside of Anthropologie at Rittenhouse Square
WHEN: Friday, 11/27 at 12:00 noon to 2 pm

ACCESSIBILITY: we will be gathering on flat sidewalk. There is some street parking which does let down onto a curb. There are wheelchair accessible ramps onto the sidewalks at the intersections. Please let us know if you need further information or accommodations.

DRESS: Please do your best to dress sharp as it will help our message come across even stronger. A facial covering is required to be worn for this demonstration.

We will be taking precautions to ensure safe social distancing during this protest. All activists are asked to maintain a distance of 6 ft from each other and to wear a protective face mask.
