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 today 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.\n\nJoin us 
 at noon on Saturday, December 12th at Dolores Park at the intersection of 
 Delores St and 19th St, San Francisco, CA for our Free Zoe March where 
 we’ll march from the park to a Trader Joe’s location and to the Office 
 of the Attorney General, State of California, calling on Gavin Newsom to 
 pardon Zoe and calling on the Attorney General’s office to prosecute 
 animal-abusing factory farms instead of animal rescuers. Go to FreeZoe.org 
 right now and ask California Governor @gavinnewsom to pardon Zoe and 
 immediately release her from jai and join us, Saturday. Signs will be 
 provided.\n\nWHERE: Intersection of Dolores St and 19th St, San Francisco,
