Dan Matthws, Senior Vice President, PETA

PETA

Mar 03, 2020

How can a serious cause compete for attention in a society hungrier for entertainment than education? With provocative campaigns that use sex, celebrities, and humor, just as an ad agency does. Dan Mathews is the irreverent force behind many of PETA's edgy crusades and star-studded stunts. His brainstorms, such as the iconic "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign, routinely make global news. Among his many accomplishments are the following: He persuaded Calvin Klein to stop using fur after leading a raid on the designer's office and pressured General Motors to stop using animals in crash tests by storming the company's auto shows. His multimedia campaigns helped push Ringling Bros. circus to close in 2017, after 146 years in business, and SeaWorld to stop breeding orcas in captivity in 2016. He served lunch to prisoners at America's first vegetarian jail in Phoenix and organized the first Vegan Gumbo Festival in New Orleans. He's been named one of America's most influential gays by Out magazine, and in 2016, he was presented with an "Activist of the Year" award by Vivienne Westwood in London. He started at PETA in 1985 as the young organization's receptionist, but the pop-culture junkie soon rose through the ranks, devising whimsical campaigns to increase public awareness of animal issues—such as infiltrating a fur designer's fashion show in Milan dressed as a priest. He recruited stars—including Paul McCartney, Pamela Anderson, P!nk, and Alec Baldwin—to put PETA on people's pop-culture radar. "Mathews' greatest insight is his seemingly intuitive … understanding that causes are as much about trendiness as they are about conscience," wrote New York magazine. His memoir, Committed, was published in the U.S. by Atria in 2007 and has since been published in Australia and across Europe. "Mathews believes in the spoonful-of-sugar approach to enlightenment, letting personal, gossipy, often hilarious anecdotes illuminate hot-button issues," wrote The Washington Post. His columns have appeared in USA Today, The Guardian, and Huffington Post, and he's lectured at Harvard, Princeton, Oxford, and his alma mater, American University in Washington, D.C.

CLEAN THE BAY DAY Volunteer Service Opportunity
Jun 06, 2020 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

It's time again for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Clean the Bay Day, held on the first Saturday of June each year.  Please wear sunscreen, dress to be safe out in the sun, and bring work gloves. 

THANK YOU for making time in your busy schedules to participate in this great event to help keep our waterways clean and beautiful!  Family and friends are welcome, too.  Many thanks again for your participation!

BACKGROUND INFO ON CLEAN THE BAY DAY

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation's annual Clean the Bay Day (CTBD) is a true Virginia tradition that embodies a broad-reaching rally for clean, healthy waterways, with thousands gathered around their local waters in the expectation of a better Bay. It is a model for cooperation as municipal partners, nonprofits, church groups, military installations, small businesses and large corporations join individuals, families, and elected officials from local, state and federal levels for a common cause: clean water. Since the event began in 1989, Clean the Bay Day has engaged approximately 152,000 volunteers who have removed more than 6.5 million pounds of debris from more than 7,390 miles of shoreline. Each year, the typical yield is approximately 140,000 pounds of debris across 500 miles of shoreline by over 6,000 volunteers – all in just one morning. This will be a big year for CTBD – and we have identified your organization as perfectly suited for the strategic expansion of this already enormous, impactful program.

This event is a fun opportunity for you to put in 3 hours of community service, connect with others, and learn about the inner workings of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. CTBD acts as a gateway program through which children and adults alike are often first introduced to environmental stewardship of their waterways.

Why is it important to Save the Bay?
The debris from anywhere within the watershed eventually makes its way into the Bay. We are hoping to instill a mindset of continued conservation in order to Save the Bay for many future generations to come.

Take a look at this brief Chesapeake Bay Foundation video with compelling photos that explain the importance of CTBD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEB2yhLbOEU

Together, we can facilitate the removal of untold tons of litter. We can impress upon our city, state and federal leaders that the health of our bay is important to us. We can instill a sense of pride and stewardship in our future.

Please pass this invitation along to friends, family, co-workers, and anyone that you think would like to help save the bay. This is a family-friendly event, and any and all participation is encouraged.
