Meetup: Goodbye Golden Gate Fields

Golden Gate Fields (GGF), a horse racing track in Berkeley-Albany, is finally shutting down after over 80 years of exploiting and killing horses! At this Meetup we will talk about the campaign to shut down GGF, what this means for the animals, and the measure that will be on the Berkeley ballot in November to ban CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, also known as factory farms) in the city of Berkeley.

Also, as always, we will also have a yummy plant-based brunch and coffee to share and we’ll go over news updates from what has happened in the last week and what is upcoming in our movement!

Where: Berkeley Animal Rights Center West (2414 6th St, Berkeley)
When: June 8th, 11am ~ 12:30pm
What: Community meetup
