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!
See the MBR protest organizing guide here: dxe.io/msubmitte
Once you have a protest scheduled, fill out thissubmitteth the details: forms.gle

Hey folks, we need your help rescuing the beagles at Marshall BioResources. To organize people around the country, we're launching a series of summits — and you're invited.
Our next summit is July 23–26 in NYC — four days of training focused on nonviolence, political lobbying, and community organizing with leaders from the Ridglan campaign. Come for one day or all four. Apply here (forms.gle). Space is limited to 200 people. Early bird pricing is $50 through July 15 — scholarships and a limited number of partial travel subsidies are available, prioritized for early applicants.
To see the full list of cities where summits are planned, see here (Sign Up →).
We'd love to see you at one of our upcoming summits. Thank you for being part of our community.
Feel free to DM me if you have any questions :)

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!
