Dear Law Students,
Our Last Webinar of the Year
As 2019 comes to an end, we’re looking back in this webinar at our biggest legal victories for animals over the last year and looking ahead at what’s to come in 2020! Join Stephen Wells, executive director of the Animal Legal Defense Fund, as he shares stories behind this year’s biggest victories. In 2019, the Animal Legal Defense Fund set precedents to help captive animals using the Endangered Species Act, played an important role in passing new laws that will help protect animals in the future, and took on factory farming’s egregious abuses and practices. A brief Q&A will follow.
Get your chapter together to watch, and apply for a project grant for plant-based food for the event.
