Meetup: Lauren Gazzola on Government Repression of Activists

Lauren Gazzola will be joining us at the Meetup to speak about activist repression and incarceration. Lauren is a lifelong animal rights activist who served 40 months in federal prison on “animal enterprise terrorism” charges! With the Smithfield trial fast approaching it is important we hear about her experiences and talk about how government and industry attempt to repress activists, what to expect, and how we can organize around it.
Please message Kitty in advance your suggested questions or topics for discussion for Lauren!
