Join VSDC @ Global Day of Action: Stop Financing Factory Farming

Please join VSDC, Friends of the Earth, and its partner organizations for the 2026 Stop Financing Factory Farming Global Day of Action on Wednesday, April 15. The goal is to send a message to the World Bank Group that a livable planet is not one built on factory farming.

When: 12pm-1pm on Wednesday, April 15, 2026,

Where: East corner of the triangle of South Murrow Park (Edward R. Murrow Park (south triangle, across from World Bank entrance at 1818 H St NW)• 19TH ST & PENN AVE &, H St NW sb, Washington, DC 20431 US)

Who: On-site VSDC host is Max Broad (202-926-5739)
You can also sign up directly with the organizing groups here,

What: The organizers will meet with representatives from the World Bank Group and deliver a booklet highlighting solutions to factory farming and the need for the Bank to support sustainable, community-based food systems instead. (The organizers will provide signs and shirts for attendees, and capture the attention of people attending World Bank meetings.)

Why: The World Bank cannot fulfill its mission to “end poverty on a livable planet” while continuing to use taxpayer dollars to finance the expansion of industrial animal agriculture.
