HISTORY: The Animal Rights National Conferences have been organized since 1981 by Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM) with some breaks between 1987 and 2000, then every year since 2000. FARM’s Founding President, Alex Hershaft, served as Conference Chair for more than thirty years. In 2018, Alex passed along his responsibilities to longtime colleagues Jen Riley and Dawn Moncrief. This year, Jen Riley is heading up conference leadership alongside a highly dedicated team of experienced conference managers and the newly formed AR2019 Program Advisory Committee. OUR TEAM WILL BE PRESENTING: Among the conference’s amazing talks and presentations will be several from Animal Equality’s staff. On the opening night of the conference, President Sharon Núñez will be delivering one of the keynote speeches on “The Animals I Have Met.” Also presenting will be General Counsel Cailen LaBarge on Law Within Animal Rights Organizations, International Director of Investigations Sean Thomas will talk about Behind the Cameras, and Sean and Executive Director of Animal Equality Mexico will lead a session on our recent victory in Jalisco, Jalisco Sin Crueldad. JOIN US AT THE CONFERENCE: Aside from our participation in the conference, we will also be showcasing in the exhibit center and we’d love to see you there.
