Please join PETA supporters for "Free The Animals" Friday—a powerful initiative by PETA supporters countrywide—on November 28 to protest Coach's sale of leather and the extreme cruelty of the leather industry by urging holiday shoppers to shop vegan.
More than a billion gentle cows and other animals are killed annually for their skin worldwide. Many of these animals are forced to endure all the horrors of factory farming—including castration, branding, dehorning, and tail docking, often without any painkillers. After a lifetime of intensive confinement, these gentle animals are sometimes even still conscious as they are skinned and dismembered for handbags, shoes, jackets, and other items.
With the widespread availability of animal-friendly materials—including vegan leathers made from apples, mushrooms, mangoes, tree bark, and many other natural sources—it’s time for Coach to get on board by choosing style, compassion, and true sustainability.
Here are the details:
WHEN: Friday, November 28th 2025, 12:00PM-1:00PM (Please be sure to arrive a little bit early!)
WHERE: COACH - 10450 Factory Shop Blvd, Gulfport, MS 39503 (please see this map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/M8AQf3mkptXHUNcL6)

We have a required dress code! Please dress sharply in a PETA T-shirt, nice pants, and close-toed shoes. We must ensure that the focus remains on the animals without any distractions that could shift people’s attention. T-shirts will be available on-site for everyone.
All materials (such as posters and leaflets) will be provided. PETA will also provide a vegan lunch afterwards!
Please refrain from bringing dogs as there may not be shade or a safe place for them to lie down during the protest.
Outreach events are a fun and effective way to help animals as well as meet local advocates, so be sure to invite others!
