Hey John,
Direct Action Everywhere is calling for a statewide moratorium on slaughterhouses and factory farms. But what exactly is a moratorium and how can it lead to ending animal exploitation? Come to the Meetup: How We Will Place a Moratorium on Murder, taking place this Saturday, August 22nd at 11AM, to hear about the history of moratoriums and how other states have already used moratoriums to impact animal agriculture. To receive the Zoom call-in link, see instructions in the event page details.

Here are the other events we have happening this week (all will be taking place in Pacific Time, unless otherwise noted). Action events are highlighted in blue and community events are highlighted in orange -- both are crucial to our movement!
- Wednesday, August 19th, 5 PM: How to Change the World in One Generation: DxE Intro Workshop - Right now the most vulnerable individuals are being exploited on a massive scale and it will only get worse if we don’t take action now. But can we as average citizens really make a difference to help them? The answer is YES. In Direct Action Everywhere’s workshop, you will learn the history of social movements, the ground-breaking new research that shows the power of ordinary people, and the bold plan to nonviolently abolish the most harmful industry on earth that kills billions of animals every year. After this workshop you will have the tools to begin taking high impact action with thousands around the world to create historic change by saving billions of lives. The Zoom link will be announced on the event page closer to the date.
- Thursday, August 20th, 7 PM: Community Discussion on Asian American Pacific Islander Issues - The Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community are facing increased anti-AAPI racism nationwide in light of the COVID19 outbreak. More folks in the community however are documenting, speaking out, and fighting back. Join Nelson and Rocky as they co-facilitate our experiences navigating this society in this climate and how we can be resilient in the face of anti-AAPI bigotry. We will read a passage and discuss it but this is an open forum so please come with any thoughts and inputs you want to share. All are welcome and this space is by and for Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) voices and experiences. To receive the Zoom call-in link, see instructions in the event page details.
