Meetup: The Impact of Initiatives Beyond the Ballot

Join us this Saturday to hang out with fellow animal advocates, enjoy brunch and coffee, hear news updates from the community, and then a presentation. This week Zoe will be giving a presentation about the impacts that ballot measures can have beyond whether or not they pass. She will focus on the Sonoma County and Berkeley ballot initiatives to ban factory farming. She will also discuss the social movements that Berkeley has led the way on in the past!

Where: Berkeley Animal Rights Center West (2414 6th St, Berkeley)
When: August 17th 11am - 12:30pm
What: Community meetup
