Carter Dillard, Director of Litigation with the Animal Legal Defense Fund, and Stephanie Feldstein, Population and Sustainability Director with the Center for Biological Diversity, are speaking to top law schools  across the US about topics often kept separate.

They are discussing the vital connections between animal agriculture, human population growth, environmental protection, and systems of rights – both human and animal. They are explaining how to use this synergy – along with advocacy, creativity, and legal action – to get beyond the stigma and taboo that usually keep population growth and our diets out of conversations and are suggesting legal reforms and practical ways for each of us to create a better future for all species
