[Stop Financing Factory Farming @S3F_global]

Multilateral development banks (MDBs) like @IFC_org & @BIDInvest continue to invest billions in #FactoryFarming. Our new @S3F_global report urges them to exclude industrial livestock & feed operations from sectors they consider “Paris-aligned.”

In this @foodtank op-ed, my colleague & I ask "why taxpayer funds are being used to support this well-resourced mega-corporation that has contributed to Cerrado ecosystem destruction over the past decade."

@CityofBerkeley can replicate plant-based eating campaign from @MountainViewGov! We emailed Berkeley CM @KateHarrisonD4 for raising awareness on the issue. We are hopeful to receive a response soon! @niloofaredalat @drcrystalheath @ClimateEquityHH https://t.co/jlyiKYW6nU

In today's blog, learn about the importance of empathy, systems thinking, & #PlantBased #FoodPolicy from our colleague @NilangGor, founder of @cea_empathy. @cea_empathy successfully advocated for a 50% plant-based shift in the food procurement of #Berkley: https://t.co/TJjZGn84GI

[Nilang Gor @NilangGor]

We were impressed with Councilmember @KateHarrisonD4's climate presentation. We admired Councilmember Harrison explaining the importance of reducing meat & dairy. We look forward to discussing strategies for raising awareness on environmental benefits of plant-based eating!

[Nilang Gor @NilangGor]

Faunalitics published a report concluding city policy advocacy is crucial for changing animal laws, locally and at the state level. It confirms the very foundation of our work at @cea_empathy. https://t.co/gSksqHAgKR

Decades of evidence show industrial meat & dairy operations—aka, Large #CAFOs—discharge #waterpollution. But fewer than 30% have permits required under federal law. @EPA must act to protect communities by making sure large CAFOs comply with the law. https://t.co/9PWb0eJNPc

[Cultivate Empathy for All CEA @cea_empathy]

Do Berkeley school board candidates think serving of plant-based school meals is a high priority issue for students' health, environment and animal wellbeing? @KaDijahBrown6 @ReichiLee4BUSD @runwithmike2022 @NormaJFHarrison @JenniferShanos1 https://t.co/tYAqto3Nc0

[Nilang Gor @NilangGor]
