Hey John,

The tide is turning against animal agriculture. The time for action is now. Public perception of this exploitative industry is falling, from wet markets spreading disease, to slaughterhouse workers contracting COVID-19 at an alarming rate, to poor communities being sprayed with feces from factory farms. The public is realizing that animal ag is toxic. Whistleblowers are coming forward to report dangerous working conditions as well as horrific treatment of animals such as roasting pigs alive in mass killings. Major news publications are turning their focus towards the hazardous conditions at practically all levels of the industry. It has become a ticking time bomb that is already affecting those on the other side of the species, class, and racial divide. The time has come to take a stand. Let's use the momentum that has been building to do something bold, to take action and call for widespread change. We have seen how a trigger moment accompanied by direct action can raise public outrage to force lawmakers to consider ideas that would have been seen as far-fetched just days before. Join other activists at The Turning Point: 48 Hour Vigil and Action for Rose's Law this Sunday, September at 11AM through 11AM on Tuesday, September 29th at the Farmer John Slaughterhouse at 3049 E Vernon Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90058. Please refer to DxE.io/VigilFAQ for more information on this vigil.

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!

Tuesday, September 22nd, 5:30 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. Please find the Zoom link on the Facebook event page.

Saturday, September 26th, 11AM: Meetup: Stories from the Community - Everyone we meet has their own unique and incredible story and experience. While we are all united for animal liberation, we all have our own backgrounds and stories to share!
