the 2016 March for the Animals. In addition to the Happy
Hour, Joe Squared created a Maryland SPCA pizza available throughout
the month of April at both locations. Not only is the pizza delicious --

The
21st Annual March for the Animals is happening on Sun., Apr. 24 from 10 AM to 1
PM. Your participation in the March for the Animals helps the Maryland
SPCA care for more than 15,000 homeless pets each year. As the Maryland SPCA’s
largest fundraiser, the March for the Animals is an annual 1.5 mile walk-a-thon
in Baltimore’s Druid Hill Park. For more than 20 years, this spring event has
been a staple on the calendars of committed animal lovers throughout Maryland.
Every
step that’s taken and every dollar that’s raised helps to rescue, shelter and
aid the homeless pets in our community. This is a critical event for the
Maryland SPCA -- funding from the March supports nearly 10% of the Maryland
SPCA’s annual budget. See more at http://support.mdspca.org/site/TR?fr_id=1040&pg=entry#sthash.MQjrL9TK.dpuf.

analysis of the kinds of anti-BDS legislative initiatives that have been
