DESCRIPTION: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.\nSusana Soto and Rob Lopez will be co 
 facilitating this discussion.\n*This will be a closed space for people that 
 identify as Latinx/indigenous.*\nWe will be meditating, having a reading 
 and then an open discussion.\n---\nShelter-in-place won't stop us from 
 being together as a community! We have weekly Meetups because it's 
 extremely valuable for us regularly interact, even if we can't do so in 
 person. Connecting with fellow activists strengthens out friendships, 
 animal rights community, and the entire movement, which makes us better 
 able to fight for animal liberation! The more we know and trust one 
 another, the more resistant our community is to infiltration and 
 in-fighting. It's also important for our own personal mental health to feel 
 connected and support during these hard times.\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.\nDxE cultivates a welcoming and 
 supportive community. We ask that all those who attend our events (online 
 and offline) respect our Code of Conduct which can be reviewed at 
 dxe.io/conduct\nTo learn about our vision, goals, strategy and more check
