# Event Details - **Event Name**: ⁨Meetup: Finding Unique Ways to Hold Animal-Abusing Corporations Accountabl - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 12:30 pm - **Event Description**: Let’s brainstorm clever ways to call out and stop animal-abusing corporations for good.About this EventFactory farms across California consistently violate animal cruelty laws. DxE investigators have reported these violations to authorities in a dozen counties, yet no meaningful action is even taken.There are, however, a few unique provisions in California law that provide some novel ways for holding corporations accountable for animal abuse. California Penal Code 599a requires a judge to issue a search warrant if a complaint is made to them under oath that animal cruelty laws are or about to be violated, and California Corporations Code 10404 allows humane societies to sue corporations directly for animal cruelty.At this Meetup we will hear from Will Lowrey, founder and Legal Counsel for Animal Partisan, about his current efforts to use CPC 599a, and from Alene Anello, attorney and founder of Legal Impact for Chickens, about her efforts to use 10404, including LIC’s current lawsuit against Alexandre Dairy.Fresh coffee, tea, and a delicious plant-based brunch will be provided at the Meetup as well!Where: Berkeley Animal Rights Center West (2414 6th St, Berkeley)When: Saturday, June 27th 11am-12:30pmWhat: Community hangout and presentation- ARC West is a 30 minute walk from North Berkeley BART and only a 10 minute walk from the 51B bus stop at University and 6th St.- Dogs that like other dogs are welcome at this event!- There will be plant-based brunch and coffee, donations accepted- If you cannot join in person, you can join at 11:15am on Zoom at this link: dxe.io/meetupzoomEvery Saturday at 11am we have Meetups for everyone and anyone who cares about animals and making the world a better place!Learn more about our values here: dxe.io/values---Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) is a grassroots network of animal rights activists.
