LibNow is THIS WEEKEND! We look forward to seeing ya! Visit our Lodging & Travel Boards for last minute help and placements. You may be able to help someone out! Tons of peeps are still looking for places to stay and rides to share.

Avoid the long registration lines by registering online right now. Trust us, the lines will be long and you'll be on it forever. And it will suck. Do yourself (and us) a favor and register online right now and tell everyone you know who hasn't registered to register online right now too.

No One Turned Away Policy
Do you know of someone who wants to attend "Liberation Now!" but cannot afford the registration fee? Please tell them to come! The Student Animal Rights Alliance has a firm "no one turned away" policy. Just tell them to email us to ask for a fee waiver!

We just got three registrations from folks who said they just heard about the conference from someone who posted messages in LiveJournal and Friendster! POST INFO about LibNow to all your email contacts, blogs, bulletin boards, myspace, friendster, livejournal, xanga, and everything else, now!

We Need Help at LibNow! Volunteers Needed!

LibNow Goodie Bag Stuffers
We'll be stuffing hundreds of goodie bags for the conference attendees on Friday just before the conference. Will you be around starting at about 2pm in Berkeley? Goodie Bag stuffing is fun!

Photographers
Do you have a digital camera capable of taking pics at 3 megapixels or more? We'll need as many photographers as possible to take pics at the conference!! Make sure to bring all your digital camera gear that would allow us to transfer the pics from your camera to our laptop right at the conference.

Food Helpers
We need folks to help the great folks of Sparks Organic Restaurant to prepare and distribute yummy vegan food, clean, etc throughout the conference. Help is especially needed before and after meals, so you may miss some events. We really need help with this!

Packer-Uppers
We'll need help with cleaning, tidying-upping, and transporting supplies throughout the conference and at the end of each day. Packer-Uppers are the coolest and help the stressed-out conference staff (that's us!) get to bed sooner.

We also surely could use your financial help and support. Please make a donation to support our efforts to build a strong & diverse youth movement for animals! Thanks!
