Today,
November 7th at 7pm ET Companion Animals for Reform and Equity (CARE) will be hosting a panel discussion around pro-partnership, acknowledging current harms and moving forward in solidarity.
Earlier this month, a recording of a Los Angeles City Council meeting was published by the LA Times. In it, three City Council members and the president of a labor union, are heard using racist and homophobic terms to describe constituents and fellow city council members. The recordings caused a national uproar, resulting in the resignation of Nury Martinez, LA City Council president and Ron Herrera, LA County Federation of Labor president.
How do we talk about and address anti Blackness and anti-Indigeneity as Black Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC)? How do we acknowledge the harms and current reality to move forward in solidarity? To understand the issues and grapple with these questions, CARE has invited a group of panelists to discuss. I will be moderating the panel and hope that you will join us for this important discussion. This thread can also be used to ask follow up questions to the panelists or any thoughts you have about the topic.
