Hey John,

Animal ag is a stain on our planet. It’s time to make them clean up their mess. We’ve been inside their facilities. Brought hundreds of people to their doors. Rescued animals from their abuse. And we’re going to keep escalating until they are held accountable. This month, the Animal Liberation Online Assembly is bringing you an action-filled edition. We’re confronting one of the biggest animal exploiters in the world, and having a little fun as we do it. Smithfield Foods represents the worst of animal ag -- brutalizing animals, exploiting workers, accelerating global warming, endangering public health, and threatening the people who expose them with decades in prison. The COVID-19 crisis has brought these realities into the public spotlight, and now, workers, activists and ordinary people everywhere are uniting to take on this agricultural giant. We’re bringing their mess right to their front door and demanding change. And we need you to help make it happen. Join us as we take action to address a serious issue with creativity, innovation, and even laughter. The assembly will take place this Saturday, August 8th, at 11 AM. Register for the Online Assembly: Take Action to Expose Animal Ag's Dirty Secret at liberationconference.com. Information to join the Zoom call will be emailed to those who register.

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!

Friday, August 7th, 5 PM: Community Discussion on Gender Identity - Society has grown to be more aware of gender identity and the existence of non-binary people. More people are forming a new culture that dismantles a binary approach to everything from pronouns, clothing and life goals. We'll be joined by Ali Morikawa, a member that identifies as nonbinary in our community who will co facilitate a discussion on gender iden tity. All are welcome to join in and trans, queer, gender nonconforming or non binary folks are encouraged to come. To receive the Zoom call-in link, see instructions in the event page details.
