Event Description
Awakening an Ethical Revolution for Animals
On May 24th, activists from around the world will gather to hold a mass memorial for the billions of animals who lose their lives each day due to negligence from world governments.
We will honor and remember these individuals, while taking a bold stance in the progressive City of Berkeley after recently proposing ground-breaking new Know Your Rights Legislation, asking the Berkeley city government to recognize animal personhood and to legislate for a better world for all animals.
