DESCRIPTION:Speciesism’s effect on the world is unfathomably destructive. Like other 
 forms of oppression and prejudice, it ranges from interpersonal 
 microaggressions, to downright bigotry, to entire societal institutions 
 that thrive off direct or indirect exploitation and violence. It’s an 
 issue that’s widely underrecognized so please WEAR BLACK CLOTHING and 
 join us Saturday afternoon, August 27th to take part in the 8th annual 
 World Day for the end of Speciesism where we’ll march a portion of the 
 highly trafficked Bay Bridge in hopes of drawing attention to the issue 
 along with other actions happening on the same day around the world.\nAt 
 times we’ll highlight the speciesist practice of prosecuting humans who 
 help anyone who isn’t a human escape from situations of distress and 
 certain death. One of our current organizers (Paul Darwin Picklesimer) and 
 one of our co-founders (Wayne Hsiung) will stand trial in Utah on September 
 9th for helping two piglets get to a vet and are facing up to over a decade 
 in prison if convicted.\nAfter marching, we’ll return to the meeting 
 point to reflect on the day and enjoy free, delicious, plant-based food 
 from P and A Vegan Catering.\n—---------------\nWHERE: 210 Burma Rd, 
 Oakland, CA\nWHEN: 1:00pm - 4:00pm, Saturday, August 27th\nACCESSIBILITY:
