Hey John,
In light of concerns about the spread of Coronavirus we have moved our meetups and other meetings online. There is no better time than now to come together as a community, talk to, and support one another!
Join us on our second ever Online Meetup: How Animal Exploitation Causes Pandemics this Saturday, March 21st at 11 AM. Doctor Sherstin Rosenberg will be speaking about the connection between animal exploitation and pandemics. Please reach out to us with any questions or comments. The event will be taking place over the virtual conferencing platform, Zoom. Check the event page closer to the date to find the Zoom meeting link!

- Sunday, March 22nd, 1 PM: How to Change the World in One Generation: DxE Intro Workshop (Online) - 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. This interactive workshop was created by DxE co-founder and former Northwestern law professor Wayne Hsiung. 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. A call-in Zoom link will be circulated at 12:30pm, 3/22 (30 minutes before the workshop begins) to everyone who marks themselves as attending this event.
- Monday, March 23rd, 7 PM: Effective Outreach: Online Training - How do we outreach in a way that is most effective for movement building?
