Hi John,

As you know, DxE investigator Zoe Rosenberg was recently convicted of felony and misdemeanor charges for rescuing four suffering chickens from Perdue’s Petaluma Poultry slaughterhouse. *Zoe's story has taken off, sparking a national debate about why our legal system punishes rescuers while ignoring clear evidence of cruelty.*

On Wednesday, in front of a packed courtroom, Zoe was *sentenced to 90 days in jail for her act of compassion* , but she was undeterred in speaking up for Petaluma Poultry’s victims. Both in the courtroom ( [link removed] ) during her hearing and outside at a press conference before the media ( [link removed] ) , Zoe promised she would not stop fighting for animals. *Her jail sentence generated multiple front page stories locally and it was* *covered by major outlets* ( [link removed] ) *including* *ABC News* ( [link removed] ) *(which also published to* *Good Morning America* ( [link removed] ) *),* *Democracy Now* ( [link removed] ) *,* *The Guardian* ( [link removed] ) *, and* *The Associated Press* ( [link removed] ) *, which was picked up by* *The Washington Post* ( [link removed] ) *,* *Fortune* ( [link removed] ) *, and so many others.*

Public support has been overwhelming. Within just a few days, *more than 25,000 people emailed Governor Newsom* *asking him to pardon Zoe’s conviction and free her from this life-threatening jail sentence.
*
The situation is now extremely urgent. Zoe must surrender herself at the Sonoma County jail in just 2 days, on December 10. Friends and supporters will accompany her to the jail to say goodbye and hold a vigil outside as she is taken into custody. Zoe’s Type 1 diabetes and gastroparesis make jail incredibly dangerous for her.

We need everyone to act now. Here are 3 ways you can help in this critical window:

*1. Sign and share the petition to Free Zoe.*
If you haven’t already, add your name and send the link to your friends, family, and coworkers: FreeZoe.org ( [link removed] )
*
2. Join an upcoming Free Zoe March or plan your own solidarity action.*
Free Zoe marches are planned for this Saturday, December 13th in San Francisco ( [link removed] ) and New York City ( [link removed] ) , and Sunday, December 14th in Los Angeles ( [link removed] ). You can organize your own Free Zoe protest or outreach event with this simple campaign guide: dxe.io/guide

*3. Keep sharing Zoe’s story.*
Every post, article share, and conversation keeps public pressure growing.

Plus, today, we’re officially launching our end-of-year fundraising campaign! Your support is vital as we continue to harness the momentum of Zoe’s unjust incarceration and turn it into positive change for animals. *From now until January 1st, a DxE supporter is matching all donations up to $100,000. Help us take advantage of this incredible opportunity and show your support for animal rescue by making a donation today.
