Thank you for your support! 🙏🏽

[In one hour at 1 PM ET] Wayne will be discussing the revelation that the NIH funded cordectomies at Marshall—and how we plan to use this and other evidence to press the government to save all the 16,000+ dogs trapped in cages at their facility. We will need your help! Here’s the link for today’s call: savethedogs.io/zoom

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.

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!

They are all making history!

The rest of my original message got accidentally cut off when I made an edit! Here’s the rest:
That includes my own little guy, James (pictured above), who now leaps through fields in joy after being freed from a Ridglan cage.
Many of you may ask what you can do to help.
The first thing you can do, if you have a defendant near you, is to reach out and offer support. We want to ensure every defendant has not just world class legal support but social support, too!
But the second thing we must all do, as these courageous activists in history did, is to harness this repression by sharing the story far and wide.
The vivisection industry will realize a few years from now that they made a serious mistake, much as Ridglan realized its error in charging me initially in 2024. They may have corrupt influence over certain arms of the government. But by charging so many activists, they are merely shining a light on this corruption. And, in the long run, the light will defeat the dark.
I’ll be blogging about this shortly, and we’ll likely have another meeting soon for the entire network (perhaps weekly) to discuss how we can make this repression backfire. Stay tuned!

Here is the complaint that was filed yesterday. Note that all these charges relate to March 15. We have no word yet whether any charges will result from April 18. I’d say it’s perhaps 50-50 on that.
And here is the list of actual defendants:
1. Aditya V Aswani
2. Wayne H Hsiung
3. Michelle D Lunsky
4. Dean F Wyrzykowski
5. Emily V Anderson
6. Ingrid S Andersson
7. Madhubala C Anderson
