Over two dozen lawsuits have been filed in U.S. courts against fossil fuel companies by state and local government plaintiffs alleging climate harms and deceptions. But there are other central actors beyond these “Carbon Majors” that contribute heavily to the warming climate. Prominent among them is the animal agriculture sector, a significant emitter of greenhouse gases overall and an especially important source of potent methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Over the last several years, the animal agriculture industry is starting to face serious legal challenges—in U.S. courts and in courts around the world—grounded in its role in driving climate change.
Lunch will be provided! Register here.9 attendees
ANNOUNCEMENT: Rescue Effort to Save the Dogs!

From The Simple Heart substack page:
"Folks, I need you to join me in Dane County, Wisconsin on Sunday, April 19 for what may be the most important rescue in animal rights history. We need 2,000 people to take action at Ridglan Farms on April 19—one person for every puppy still trapped in a cage—to create unstoppable momentum and free every dog tortured in a lab.
The first rescue on March 15 showed the power of open rescue.""Millions of people were inspired when 100 people walked into Ridglan Farms, carrying white flowers and displaying peace signs, and walked out with desperate beagles in our arms. We got shout outs from celebrities and influencers, ranging from Superman director James Gunn to sports magnate Dave Portnoy. Grassroots supporters like you donated nearly $100,000 for this all-volunteer operation in a few days. And most importantly, we got 22 beautiful puppies out of hell. (Heartbreakingly, eight others—the #Ridglan8—were illegally seized by the police and dragged back into a vivisector’s cage.)"
The case for the legal right to rescue is stronger than ever. Indeed, local prosecutors already tried and failed to prosecute rescuers once. If they try again, it will simply bring even more attention to the vivisection industry’s corruption and cruelty.
Here is how you can help
- Receive updates from The Simple Heart's substack page
- Attend the rescue on April 19th in Wisconsin (you'll be in good company with plenty of activists from Colorado!)
"Here’s the best part. The action won’t end with the rescue of the Ridglan dogs. The coalition we create will be deployed for other efforts, from foxes being skinned for fur, to pigs trapped in crates, but especially for all the animals tortured in labs. The long-term vision is to build a fast-acting, cooperative, and whip-smart network of rescuers, embedded in universities and faith-based spaces, who can be quickly deployed wherever the movement needs us."
"First, we’ll save the animals at Ridglan. Then, we’ll save them all."
