ANIMAL JUSTICE ACADEMY LUNCHTIME LIVE:
TRAINING: Last Chance to Stop the FEDERAL Ag Gag Bill in Canada with Camille Labchuk
Executive Director, Animal Justice

We're dangerously close to having a federal ag gag bill in Canada.

Bill C-275 is expected to soon pass second reading and go to Committee, and if we want a chance at stopping it, AJAers need to step up this summer like you've never stepped up before!

Animal Justice Executive Director Camille Labchuk will be doing a special training in our AJA Lunchtime Live on how each of us can play an important part in turning the tide on this bill.

For those outside of Canada, this training will contain valuable training on lobbying politicians, so be sure not to miss it.

Bill C-275 was introduced last year in Parliament by the Conservative Party under the guise of being a “biosecurity” bill, but its true aim is to cover up animal cruelty on Canadian farms.

This bill will make going onto an animal farm without permission an indictable offence with fines of up to $250,000 or up to two years in jail. Meanwhile, an organization could be fined as much as $500,000.

Please join us for this tactical training and rallying cry against this national ag gag bill!

*We invite folks to have their video on during this event to enhance the sense of community, but it’s not mandatory
