Five Reasons You NEED to Be At This Summit!

Early bird registration (zeffy.com) for the Save the Dogs summit ends TODAY, and the price goes up by 100%. I hope you can make it, and here are five reasons why.

Reason 1: 16,000 dogs are facing sick abuse at Marshall, including being prepared for inhalation of toxic gas. This is the summit where we’ll prep you to get them out.

Reason 2: To succeed at the next rescue, we need to defend the last one. Just days before the summit, 47 new defendants will be charged with serious crimes. We need to support them—and set a precedent for the right to rescue that is heard across the nation.

Reason 3: New evidence of criminal abuse will be revealed shortly. We want to share this info with you, and strategize together on how we can make sure it has maximum impact on saving the dogs.

Reason 4: We’ll be deploying novel AI-empowered training methods—and teaching you to harness those methods to train others. From a mock trial to astonishing new research techniques, you’ll learn about powerful methods that have never been used before.

Reason 5: You’ll be around some of the most inspiring dog rescuers in the world. It’s not just the 51 defendants but the 100s of others who risked everything to save the dogs. We are stronger together. You’ll see that—feel that—if you come to the summit!

Hope to see you there! But if you can’t make it, stay engaged. There will be other ways to plug in.

ZOOM IN ONE HOUR (2 pm ET / 11 am PT): Folks, many of you heard that Dr. Fauci was grilled by Congress on whether Covid might have been the result of botched animal experiments. This presents a key opportunity for us, and I’ll be sharing more today about how we can harness the national media around Fauci into a broader movement to save all the dogs (and other animals) from labs.
I’ll also take questions you have about the campaign, including why we are pushing back the rescue and why it’s just as important that we keep the option of a future rescue in our pocket when the moment comes.
Here is the link:

Folks, we are going to meet today at 2 PM ET / 11 am PT and also try to set a weekly Zoom meeting time for the Save the Dogs campaign. We have some important updates regarding our strategy for bringing criminal charges against Marshall—including insight from key stakeholders with relationships in Congress. We are also going to give you an update on the Right to Rescue criminal case that will have a preliminary hearing for 47 of the 51 defendants around the week of Sept 6 (the same weekend that we plan to hold a Right to Rescue summit).
Here is the link. There’s no non-infiltration agreement for this one, so please do share widely!

Hey folks, as we are two weeks out and we did not get as many ticket sales as projected, the NYC summit team has decided to instead offer a scaled down version of the event. Instead of a four day leadership summit, we will instead be offering a daylong nonviolence training. If NYC is not very far from you, we encourage you to come! You can register directly here: Go → If you'd like a scholarship to help with the ticket price, please DM me! Your participation is more valuable than your money :)
Of course, if NYC is far away, please consider attending the Madison and/or another summit near you instead. You can see the full list of planned summits and register your interest at savethedogs.io/summits
My apologies for any inconvenience caused by these changes and thanks for your kind attention 🙏

From Zoe at DxE:
July 31-August 2 will be a weekend of action to save the dogs at Marshall BioResources.
We are hoping that as many cities as possible (nationally & internationally) will organize protests at a corporate office or laboratory owned by a company that purchases dogs from MBR. Let's call these companies out for puppy torture.
No matter where in the world you live, there is probably an MBR affiliate near you. If you need help finding one, email internationalcoordination@dxe.io for assistance.
This is a great opportunity to build momentum around the campaign against MBR and for the end of animal experimentation in the US. It is also a great opportunity to mobilize people who love dogs but haven't yet joined the animal rights movement, so be sure to promote these events as widely as possible!
See the MBR protest organizing guide here: dxe.io/msubmitte
