Right now, many places are experiencing record-breaking temperatures due to the ongoing climate crisis. Hopefully our species will be able to resolve the crisis we've created, but in the meantime it is our urgent responsibility to provide aid to our animal neighbors during times of extreme heat. Thankfully there are many simple things we can do that can help animals in our area. At this Meetup we will hear tips and ideas for how we can provide potentially life-saving relief to our animals neighbors. If you are already doing things to help animals, we want to hear about it, too! 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, August 8th 11am-12:30pm What: 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!
