DESCRIPTION:Join us in Sacramento on Tuesday, January 11th at 10am in support of No 
 More Factory Farms and the Right to Rescue!\n\nDxE investigator Matt 
 Johnson is going to trial in Iowa in January for rescuing a piglet named 
 Gilly from horrific animal cruelty at a factory farm owned by Iowa Select 
 Farms (ISF). The investigation and rescue at ISF sparked national outrage 
 over the mass-kill method known as “ventilation shutdown,” and we’re 
 expecting major media attention from the trial, too.\n\nThis trial is an 
 opportunity to push for bold legislation addressing the cruelty of animal 
 agriculture and curbing the power of the corrupt “pork” industry. 
 That’s why we are calling on California to lead the nation in this 
 important moment with a first-of-its-kind statewide moratorium on factory 
 farms and slaughterhouses.\n\nAt this protest we will tell the story of 
 Gilly’s rescue, show support for Matt, and call on California legislators 
 to lead the way with bold action against the violent animal agriculture 
 industry.\n\nCalifornia’s legislative deadline is February 19th. That 
 means state legislators only have a few more weeks to introduce the 
 moratorium this year, or they will have to wait another year before taking 
 action to slow down this expanding industry. This protest is our last 
 chance to inspire a California Senator or Assemblymember to introduce the 
 moratorium this year. We need your help to get their attention and demand 
 action.\n\nWHERE: Sacramento, CA\nWHEN: 10:00 AM Tuesday, January 
 11th\nACCESSIBILITY: This event will include a small walk, as well as 
 standing. If you have questions or need support to attend this event, email

 However, please do not come if you have or recently had symptoms of or

 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 (online and offline)
