Hey John,
Frustration and restlessness has had too long to go unaddressed. As we see the events unfold throughout the country and the world, we are becoming aware what the burying of injustice can lead to. Join the community as we talk about the current racial injustice that has been going on for decades, but through political organization and action, has been brought to a new level of awareness. We will be meditating, reading a passage and then reflecting on it with open discussion. Join the Community Discussion on Current Racial Injustice this Sunday, June 7th, at 5PM. See the event page details for call-in link updates.
If you're interested in getting more involved in this active community, apply to become a chapter member at dxe.io/apply.
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!
- Saturday, June 6th 11 AM: Meetup: Exposé in Iowa & What it Means to Our Movement - So much has happened this week! From people are rising up for racial justice and Black Lives Matter (we will have a Meetup up this soon as well) to DxE investigators exposing the horrific mass killing of animals. At this week's Meetup we will be talking about the investigation of "ventilation shutdown" in pig exploiting operations, Matt's arrest, activists locking themselves to Iowa Select Farms to prevent animals from being killed, and more! To receive the Zoom call-in link, see instructions in the event page details.
- Saturday, June 6th, 8:30 PM: This is an Emergency: Divest from Animal Agriculture - If we don’t change our food system now, we could find ourselves with a new, highly lethal, rapidly moving pandemic that could kill millions of people. That is why we need to take action to demand that Berkeley divests from animal agriculture! During this action we will mourn the animals who have been killed during the pandemic, we will tell their stories, and raise awareness about our campaign. Everyone's safety is a priority, if you are sick or don’t feel comfortable going outside right now, please stay home and support our action online! For everyone attending in person, we will maintain social distance- that’s ten feet in between people. We also ask that everyone showers and wears freshly laundered clothes. Please bring a mask and keep it on at all times, this is mandatory in Berkeley. Please bring hand sanitizer. Also do not carpool with people who are not members of your household and avoid public transportation to come to this event. The action will be taking place on Sproul Plaza, Berkeley; the dress code is black clothing. Please be sure to read the details in the event page for more precautionary instructions.
- Sunday, June 7th, 11:30 AM: June Chapter Meeting: DxE SF Bay Area - Help us shape the direction of the local DxE community. This is the most important meeting we hold each month and it is a place for discussion, strategic planning and decision making. All Chapter Members and Organizers in the DxE SF Bay Area Chapter are encouraged to attend. All chapter members are encouraged to contribute to the discussion. We will also hear updates on our other objectives and legal cases, discuss chapter members having increased voting rights, and have time for announcements and shoutouts.
