Join us on Tuesday, September 14th at 12n Pacific / 3p Eastern for an open, informal 30-minute conversation and Q+A with Akisha Townsend Eaton, Attorney.

A former legislative attorney for Best Friends Animal Society and for the Humane Society of the United States, Akisha's current work involves supporting groundbreaking advancements for animals through Animal  Legal Defense Fund's litigation, legislative and criminal justice initiatives as well as for members of the public seeking legal assistance for animal-related matters.

In this discussion with Maddie's Fund Executive Leadership Team member Mary Ippoliti-Smith, Akisha shares her story from multiple angles. She'll speak of how the work of animal lifesaving and animal protection policy are interwoven and how ultimately all social policy can work together - especially in removing barriers created by systemic bias.

You may even hear from her newly adopted rabbit, Tiger!

Afterwards, continue the conversation with @Akisha Townsend Eaton on this thread in Maddie's Pet Forum.
