ISCOWP's primary concern is to present alternatives to agricultural practices that support and depend upon the meat and dairy industries' slaughter of innocent animals, specifically the cow. To this end, ISCOWP presents the practices and philosophy of compassionate cow protection which includes dietary change supportive of cow protection and training oxen (male cows or steers) to replace farm machinery and thereby show an alternative to their slaughter. The tenets of cow protection are universal and nonsectarian, available to all regardless of race, creed, or nationality. http://iscowp.org/

The shelter Hermanos en el Camino was founded on February 26, 2007 to provide humanitarian aid (food, shelter, medical, psychological, and legal help) to our migrant brothers from Central America, as well as South America, Asia, and Africa. More than 400 migrants sought refuge at the shelter on the first night. Since then, the flow of people has been constant. http://www.hermanosenelcamino.org/english.html
