POSTPONED: Protest Berkeley's Inaction on Climate Change and Animal Cruelty

The city of Berkeley is funding the next pandemic, animal cruelty, and global environmental catastrophe. This "progressive" city is spending taxpayer dollars on an unsustainable and cruel industry: animal agriculture. Despite our reports of concerning diseases and animal abuse at farms used by their supplier, the city is still ignoring the issue. That is why on February 9th we will come together for an action outside the Mayor’s house where we will ask him loudly and boldly to stop spending city funds on animal products.
