πππ§ π¨π¦ ππ‘π’πͺ π¬π’π¨'π₯π ππ’π ππ‘π πππ₯π: https://dash.pointapp.org/events/505750Join us for our monthly volunteer meeting and potluck! As 2025 comes to a close, weβre taking time to honor a major milestone: the 50th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. animal rights movement in 1975.
To mark this historic moment, weβll be watching "Five Decades β One Mission," a powerful six-part documentary series produced by FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement). The series features interviews with ten early leaders of the movement and explores the roots, growth, and lasting impact of animal rights activism in the United States.
The 3.5-hour documentary commemorates two pivotal events from 1975: the publication of Peter Singerβs Animal Liberation, which introduced the concept of animal rights to America, and the World Vegetarian Congress in Orono, Maine, which helped bring early activists together. Through interviews with Peter Singer, Freya Dinshah, Alex Hershaft, Victoria Moran, Jim Mason, and others, the series traces the movementβs origins, early campaigns, influential publications, and honors key pioneers whose work shaped the movement weβre part of today.
Weβll enjoy good company and tasty snacks while watching the first half of the series, followed by an in-depth discussion on the importance of these early actions and the animal heroes who made them possible.
Join us for the meeting in March to watch the second half of the series!
