DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dramatic demonstration to conclude our week-long occupation 
 of Berkeley’s Telegraph Whole Foods where we will demand a response from 
 the company to their criminal animal cruelty. \n\nAs Whole Foods continues 
 to exploit and kill millions of animals, we are occupying the Berkeley 
 Whole Foods for an entire week from 7am until 10pm. We will be doing 
 outreach, running workshops, playing music and taking nonviolent action 
 together. We will end this week-long occupation on Saturday September, 29th 
 with a dramatic demonstration. We will put pressure on Whole Foods to show 
 us the farms and give customers the right to know! \n\n"As an act of 
 protest, occupation is a strategy often used by social movements and other 
 forms of collective social action in order to take and hold public and 
 symbolic spaces, buildings, critical infrastructure such as entrances to 
 train stations, shopping centers, university buildings, squares, and 
 parks."\n\nWhole Foods claims to treat their animals humanely by following 
 the “5 step Animal Welfare Rating.” But we know this is far from the 
 truth. Our investigations inside their farms have found animals without 
 access to food and water, hens rotting to death and turkeys so densely 
 crowded in indoor sheds that they could not move. \n\nOn their website, 
 Whole Foods claims to be committed to transparency, yet they’ve refused 
 to talk to us when we asked them if they supply from factory farms. They 
 went as far as arresting two nonviolent activists simply because they asked 
 where Whole Foods animal products are coming from.\n\nYou can help us 
 demand a response from Whole Foods by joining this nonviolent 
 occupation!\n\nWHERE: Telegraph Whole Foods\n\nWHEN: September 
 23rd-September 29th \n\nWEAR: Whatever you like!\n\nACCESSIBILITY: This 
 event will include walking which will be done at a moderate pace. If you 
 have questions or need support to attend this event, email 
 sfbay-protest@directactioneverywhere.com. \n\nWHO: Everyone welcome! If 
 you're nervous about protesting, you can come observe or hold a sign 
 quietly. All forms of participation are appreciated!\n\n---\n\nDirect 
 Action Everywhere (DxE) is a grassroots network of animal rights activists. 
 Through open rescue, demonstration, and disruption, we are creating a world 
 where every animal is safe, happy and free.\n\nDxE cultivates a welcoming 
 and supportive community. We ask that all those who attend our events
