Hey John,
DxE has had an ongoing campaign against Smithfield. We often focus on our actions and what humans in the movement are doing, but we don't often hear about the nonhuman animals who we are fighting for. Join us this Saturday at 11AM at our Meetup: The Lives Saved from Smithfield to learn more about the individuals rescued from Smithfield and how their lives have been forever changed. To receive the Zoom call-in link, see instructions in the event page details.
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!
- Friday, October 16th, 6 PM: Community Discussion on Latinx Issues & Animal Agriculture - Animal ag and factory farms depend heavily on the bodies of Latinx and indigenous people to survive. They exploit people with a systemic approach that has been refined over the decades due to unchecked injustice being able to persist. From the fields, slaughterhouses to restaurants, the vast majority of workers here are latino/a/x/ or indigenous. We will be discussing how we as Latinxs have been implicated into this industry and people will be able to share their experiences and thoughts on this subject and other subjects at large. Susana Soto and Rob Lopez will be co facilitating this discussion. *This will be a closed space for people that identify as Latinx/indigenous.* We will be meditating, having a reading and then an open discussion. To receive the Zoom call-in link, see instructions in the event page details.
- Sunday, October 18th, 9 AM: DxE Circle: Sanctuary Work Party & Potluck Circle - Carla Cabral will be hosting a circle event where we volunteer at local sanctuaries at least one day per month and up to three days depending on their needs. Recently, there have been many wildfires that have ravaged sanctuaries so we have reached out to them and will be adding days in order to help them at this extreme time of need. This months event will be at One Living Sanctuary, a location near and dear to my heart. Please see the event page for details on itinerary and other important notes.
