Join a peaceful community outreach at Mission Bay Park this Easter Sunday. While families gather to celebrate the holiday, activists will be sharing information about factory farming in San Diego and encouraging compassionate choices.

Volunteers will engage park visitors in friendly conversations about the realities of factory farms, introduce resources like the Factory Farms Watch database, and share how everyday purchasing choices affect animals, the environment, and public health.

This event also highlights how taxpayer money has supported factory farm operations following bird flu outbreaks, and why transparency and accountability matter.

All are welcome. This is a peaceful, educational outreach.
