CA Prop 12 Picnic Potluck Party

Last week, the Supreme Court upheld the Ninth Circuit court's decision affirming California's Proposition 12 regulations on farm animal confinement. This is a win for many farmed animals, and something to celebrate! We'll celebrate with a party at Commons park downtown. The park is directly across the millennium bridge from union station. There is some parking available along little raven st. Bringing food is appreciated, but certainly not required, especially if making or transporting it will be a burden for you. If you do bring food, please include a card with ingredients (for food allergies), and of course no animals products please. Lawn games encouraged too! California Prop 12: https://preventcrueltyca.com/ https://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/nu/fd/mb-fdp-03-2022-a.asp "California regulations require veal calves, breeding pigs, and egg-laying hens to be housed in systems that comply with specific standards for freedom of movement, cage-free design, and specified minimum floor space. These regulations also prohibit a farm owner or operator from knowingly confining these specific animals in a cruel manner, as well as prohibits a business owner or operator from knowingly engaging in the sale of shell eggs, liquid eggs, whole pork meat or whole veal meat from animals housed in a cruel manner."
