Illinois Direct Action Everywhere - DxE

Until every animal is free, the central Illinois chapter of Direct Action Everywhere.
BREAKING: Ridglan Farms is shutting down and every one of the remaining dogs will be released to rescues. This was only made possible by nearly ten years of campaigning, the hundreds of activists who have risked arrest and violence, and the rescue organizations that stepped up to negotiate with Ridglan’s lawyers and provide the dogs with safe places to go.
There is now just one major breeder of dogs for experimentation remaining in the US: Marshall BioResources (MBR) in North Rose, New York. We will now be campaigning for the release of their animals and for federal legislation against animal experimentation.
One of the ways you can get involved now is by organizing or attending protests in your area at laboratories or other facilities owned by companies that buy animals from MBR. We’ve created a campaign guide with more information at the short link dxe.io/mbrguide
We won’t be silent until every cage is empty and every animal is safe, happy, and free.

Today, we will call on the University of Illinois Board of Trustees to drop Ridglan and phase out animal testing. Amplify the pressure by calling in and demanding the same thing. Recently, the Illinois Institute of Technology dropped ties with Ridglan when they received calls like this, so it can work! Check out the last slide for a flier with an example script and the contact information.
