DESCRIPTION:The tide is turning against animal agriculture. The time for action is now. 
 \n\nPublic 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.\n 
 \nWhistleblowers 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. There is 
 now a spotlight on the precarious situation caused by animal ag. It has 
 become a ticking time bomb that is already affecting those on the other 
 side of the species, class, and racial divide.\n \nThe 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.  \n \nSeptember 29th, 2020 will mark the two-year 
 anniversary of the rescue of a chicken named Rose from an Amazon supplier 
 in California. Her rescue inspired the movement for Rose's Law: An Animal 
 Bill of Rights. We will be taking action in Los Angeles in her name. We 
 will force a public conversation and risk arrest to show the world that 
 EVERYONE deserves the same basic rights!\n \nJoin us and help take animal 
 ag to the point of no return! We will bear witness and tell the stories of 
 animals whose rights have been violated. We will build support for Rose's 
 Law. Together, we will hold animal agriculture accountable for all the harm 
 it has caused -- and forge the path to a new era of animal rights.\n \nAll 
 attendees will be expected to wear a mask and practice social distancing. 
 Depending on the pandemic risk level, adjustments may be made to this 
 action.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/08/31/18836335.php
