United Poultry Conscious Eating Conf 2/29 Berkeley-$35 incl breakfast/lunch
February 29, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
United Poultry Concerns’ (UPC) Ninth Annual Conference presents:
Conscious Eating – Making Connections: Overlapping Oppressions
UPC is the voice for ALL FOWL (especially chickens, the most tortured creature of all). UPC Promotes the compassionate and respectful treatment of domestic fowl.
This year five speakers (authors/activists) will explore overlapping oppressions with these questions: How is speciesism entangled with other forms of oppression? How do different forms of oppression prop each other up? What is the best way for us to represent veganism and animal advocacy that recognizes multiple, overlapping oppressions? How do we create supportive alliances?
Conference Synopsis: This Conscious Eating Conference brings expert speakers from across the country to Berkeley, California to share their ideas about the best food choices we can make for the planet, ourselves, and other animals.
