Farm Sanctuary Stands Up to Factory Farms at Oregon State Capitol

Nearly 30 individuals participated in the day of advocacy action, including representatives from the Center for Food Safety, Oregon Rural Action, Food & Water Watch, Friends of the Columbia Gorge, Pro-Animal Future, the Animal Legal Defense Fund, 350 Eugene, and students of Lewis & Clark Law School. 

Farm Sanctuary’s Miranda Eisen (Senior Manager, Outreach and State Policy) supported lobbying training to prepare a group of dedicated volunteers. This was followed by meetings with Capitol staffers and legislators, the vast majority of whom responded with interest and engagement to our message—informed by extensive work with our constituents.
