A Long Road to Legislation: the New Jersey Gestation Crate Ban Story
Presented 10/10/23
This summer, New Jersey became the 11th state to ban the extreme confinement of mother pigs and calves used for veal. Join Animal Legal Defense Fund Strategic Legislative Affairs Manager Kathleen Schatzmann and learn about the long journey to pass this important legislation – and how advocacy made it possible.
The webinar was presented live on October 10, 2023, for law students as part of Speak Out for Farmed Animals Month (SOFAM). Watch it now!
Student chapters are encouraged to plan a SOFAM event around the webinar and host it as a watch party. Be sure to apply for a project grant to help cover plant-based food options for lunch.
