Sonoma County Factory Farm Vigil + Caravan

Bay Area activists are facing felony charges and years in prison for documenting animal cruelty inside Sonoma County factory farms. 4 of the activists have preliminary court hearings happening in April, and they need our support.

On April 17th we are going back to the farms DxE has been investigating for years with a car caravan of activists. Come see for yourself what these places look like. It's important to see the factory farms in our own backyard, to speak up for the animals inside, and to show the courts that the public supports these whistleblowers.

Let's bear witness and protest for a world where factory farms no longer exist, where rescuing animals is not a crime, and where animals are treated with respect. #RightToRescue #NoMoreFactoryFarms
