Event Description
Join DxE and PETA for a powerful action on World Day for the End of Speciesism*. We will be creating a visual display that forces the public to think about animal rights.
*Speciesism is an ideology that considers the lives and interests of animals as not worthy of respect simply because they belong to another species.
Look for your city in the list below - if you don't see your city, email [email protected] and we can help you create an action in your area.

MODEL ACTION PLAN:
Activists will gather in a busy public place and set up a "Human Meat" display. The display includes 1-2 activists laying in a large tray, covered in saran wrap and fake blood, to replicate a "meat tray" found in a grocery store. Other activists hold signs or talk with the public.
Email [email protected] if you have questions.
