In the campaign to end Wayne State University’s dog experiments, there has never been a more important moment than NOW. The federal grant funding the experiments is scheduled to expire on March 31, so it’s time for Wayne State to end the deadly practice once and for all.Please join us March 6 on the edge of campus to urge Wayne State’s interim president to act! We will hold a peaceful demonstration and deliver petitions from more than 100,000 people.
When: Friday, March 6, 11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Location: Intersection of W Kirby St. & Anthony Wayne Dr., Detroit, MI 48202
Parking: Please use nearby parking garages or on-street parking
Signs will be provided, and we will be there rain, snow, or sunshine!
Please share this event with your friends and family in Michigan and ask them to join you at the demonstration.
In February, a bipartisan group of Michigan state representatives wrote to U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and the National Institutes of Health to ask that they deny continued funding for the Wayne State experiments. In a separate letter, three Michigan state senators wrote to Wayne State’s interim president to ask that he “end the unproductive, deadly dog experiments.”
State legislation is also gaining support. Queenie’s Law (HB 4254 and SB 127) would prohibit painful dog experiments at public institutions like Wayne State. The bills are supported by Lions tight end Sam LaPorta, his wife Callie, Lions tight end Brock Wright, and his fiancée Carley Johnston—all of whom have written to leaders of the Legislature.
We hope to see you there! If you have any questions, please contact Ryan Merkley: [email protected] or 202-527-7336
