Let Live activism series kicked off with Volume 1: Monkey Business. October 26th
From the website:
The first event is "Monkey Business: The Truth About Animal Testing and the ONPRC." If you have ever had trouble discussing the difficult topic of vivisection and animal testing, or need to brush up on your knowledge, this event is for you. Elaine Close (Coatlition to Abolish Animal Testing) and Matt Rossell (In Defense of Animals) will be discussing the bad science, bad treatment, and useless studies that surround the bulk of animal testing, focusing on the ONPRC (Oregon National Primate Research Center.) We will talk about what goes on at the primate lab, what you can do about it, and ways you can more effectively discuss this topic with others.
Matt presented an excerpt from the documentary Chattel, about 20 minutes and very informative:

Melinda and I came away with a fabulous book for cost, Sacred Cows and Golden Geese and more useful information than you can shake a stick at. I highly recommend attending the next event- bookmark the site http://letlivear.blogspot.com/ and sign up for the email list not a spam thing at all.
