DESCRIPTION:PLEASE WEAR BLACK and join us Saturday to protest environmental/dietary 
 racism, speciesism and governmental corruption!\n\nCows and Bulls are not 
 machines to exploit as we wish. They’re victims of violence and systemic 
 abuse thanks to tens of billions of dollars in corporate welfare every 
 year. It’s time to shift the subsidies to a better food system and Let 
 Dairy Die!\n\nSince 2019, DxE’s campaign to #LetDairyDie has called for 
 an end of federal subsidies that support an industry that exploits workers 
 and consumers, accelerates the climate crisis and causes unfathomable 
 violence against animals. While this message has reached millions through 
 mainstream news and media, the effort faces a new obstacle in the continued 
 favoritism of dairy lobbyist serving as the head of the US department of 
 agriculture.\n\nPlease join us for a creative action that calls on 
 Secretary of Agriculture and longtime dairy lobbyist Tom Vilsack to shift 
 federal subsidies away from animal cruelty and dietary racism and toward 
 helping our farmers and food system transition into a just 
 one.\n\n—\nWHERE: Crescent Lawn, Berkeley CA\nWHEN: Sunday, February 12st 
 1:00pm\nACCESSIBILITY: This event will include walking, as well as 
 standing. If you have questions or need support to attend this event, email 
 sfbay-protest@directactioneverywhere.com.\nWHO: Everyone is welcome! 
 However, please do not come if you have or recently had symptoms of or 
 exposure to COVID-19. If you're nervous about protesting, you can come 
 observe or hold a sign quietly.\n---\n\nDirect Action Everywhere (DxE) is a 
 grassroots network of animal rights activists. Through open rescue, 
 demonstration, and disruption, we help build 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) 
 respect our Code of Conduct which can be reviewed at dxe.io/conduct.\n\nTo
