We are excited to announce the return of Ethics in Action, an event series that brings together animal advocates to network across professional disciples.
Hosted three times a year, these gatherings convene leaders and emerging voices from law, policy, academia, communications, business, science, and advocacy for thoughtful dialogue and meaningful connection.
Our next event features a timely conversation on how school food reform is becoming a powerful lever for animal advocacy.
Featured Speaker: Jason Fonger—professional speaker, triathlon champion, and advocate for plant-forward food systems
Drawing from his work with schools, food service providers, and student leaders across Ontario, Jason will explore how the rapidly expanding National School Food Program presents a unique opportunity to advance animal welfare, public health, and sustainability.
This conversation also offers a preview of themes that will be explored at our upcoming Animal Law & Advocacy Conference (ALAC) this October.
