DESCRIPTION:Lifelong animal rescuer Zoe Rosenberg was just sentenced to 90 days in 
 custody for her rescue of four suffering chickens from Perdue's Petaluma 
 Poultry slaughterhouse. She is ordered to turn herself in on December 10th. 
 30 days of her sentence will be in jail and she will be eligible for jail 
 alternatives for the final 60 days. For giving Poppy, Aster, Ivy, and 
 Azalea their freedom, Zoe has lost hers.\n\nThis jail sentence could be 
 life-threatening for Zoe because of her type 1 diabetes and gastroparesis, 
 which require specific medical equipment and care. When Zoe was initially 
 arrested, the jail threatened to take away her insulin pump. Despite this 
 risk to Zoe's life and the nonviolent nature of her actions, Sonoma County 
 Judge Kenneth Gnoss nevertheless sentenced her to jail. Zoe's legal team, 
 led by the Animal Activist Legal Defense Project (@AALDP_DU), filed a 
 formal notice of appeal to appeal her conviction on several grounds, 
 including that the court denied the necessity defense even though Zoe's 
 actions were necessary to save Poppy, Aster, Ivy, and Azalea from imminent 
 harm. But appeals take a long time and Zoe needs our help now.\nJoin us at 
 1:30pm on Saturday, December 6th at the intersection of MLK Jr Way and 
 Hearst Ave, Berkeley, CA for our protest of Trader Joe's who still refuses 
 to cut ties with Perdue's Petaluma Poultry - a company that was 
 instrumental convicting Zoe and that boils chickens alive.\nGo to 
 FreeZoe.org right now and ask California Governor @gavinnewsom to pardon 
 Zoe and join us Saturday. Signs will be provided.\n\nWHERE: Intersection of 
 MLK Jr Way and Hearst Ave, Berkeley, CA\nWHEN: 1:30pm, Saturday, December
