Pigeon First Aid & Companion Animal Care

Pigeon First Aid & Companion Animal Care **Sunday\, June 14th \| 11am–2pm** Meet at the Powell Street BART Station, San Francisco Ever wanted to be a hero to pigeons and their animal neighbors—all in one afternoon? Join us for a hands-on day of compassion, learning, and real impact in the heart of SF. San Francisco’s pigeons often suffer from painful injuries caused by string, hair, and other debris tightly wrapped around their toes. These tiny hazards can lead to serious infections and even amputations. Together, we’ll gently rescue injured pigeons, remove the harmful materials, provide basic first aid, and release them safely back to their flocks. While we’re out on the streets, we’ll also be sharing food and toys for companion animals belonging to our unhoused neighbors—because care and kindness should extend to all animals, big and small. No experience necessary! We’ll provide all the training and supplies you’ll need. Just bring: Compassion Comfortable shoes A willingness to help animals who are often overlooked ARRIVE ON TIME! We’ll begin promptly at 11am with a brief about essential safety and training. If you arrive late, we will be out and about and hard to contact and find so please be on time. Meeting location: Powell Street BART Station Questions?

Meetup: Stop Flock & How We Challenge Mass Surveillance

Flock Safety is an AI surveillance company that has cameras all over our cities collecting vast amounts of data about our cars and movement patterns. Mass surveillance is the opposite of public safety, makes it easier for police to target people such as activists or vulnerable immigrants. �At this week’s Meetup we will hear from Mike Katz-Lacabe, co-founder of the Center for Human Rights and Privacy about what flock is and what we can do about it! Learn more about their important work here: [www.cehrp.org](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cehrp.org%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExa0RzOU1zOUluQ201bFNQS3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR66OnCmPNRM_bJbwcUUshr-9lPVO1VBAvHmmNla7llGX0ZtTyWQ_uIizcdLYw_aem_YWdncwCZoawRlWZ6Eh7-NNlwsPLc%26brid%3DYWdncwG7gOC3bTbp384ntNNKFw-h&h=AUA_sY6haPUr_7kvkNCKS3Ru1fwzstRT2ydzmqzKr0lfMRJm6xxZyQxbLhEDHBfKDK4zapNeAHJrSYDBhtSfNRlReF4Qx5vn_UM8Y9Y1cOtjoHnfK8FtHRGBl9i2Sbcvz0hkAEo3KnyUx1hN&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AUDIp_8jeGfzGNWe0d6WST6W4LjlOkVxrIuisEWu7WwSpBZxoaeSwrQkWfiuPrD8WKe4Be2g9GJ9X0rGhshKSPYClBQ46fmA7MTzpNpkdzb9H68QB7shw6HiIclOSIQqmD1d3u-g09BKtdBwcpNOzo7HyM3pBWrC9_A) 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 6th 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\! \- 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/meetupzoom](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdxe.io%2Fmeetupzoom%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExa0RzOU1zOUluQ201bFNQS3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR56x95B_8rBM8tN4g9ecV2K2uBPoC3GIgXdCrm63P668SW9trBTjsyaDeUu8Q_aem_YWdncwBT6Noi5hrG84TQ97qJ-bMt%26brid%3DYWdncwGRDsmKPvshbRBrL6Z8EY43&h=AUAXg3n-e5jZdptwEgAHKqLvO4Gu2Ds7DOzJIZjzc1TaLoAAZrMlFF4u9X1ysY8JDsA1vKukALpkdmwN54EyWdsZok4BwDsh4KZH_05QGryZi-9GXB93NjuZXAHISMCx8KbTaJOWRD34__EF&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AUDIp_8jeGfzGNWe0d6WST6W4LjlOkVxrIuisEWu7WwSpBZxoaeSwrQkWfiuPrD8WKe4Be2g9GJ9X0rGhshKSPYClBQ46fmA7MTzpNpkdzb9H68QB7shw6HiIclOSIQqmD1d3u-g09BKtdBwcpNOzo7HyM3pBWrC9_A) Every Saturday at 11am we have Meetups for everyone and anyone who cares about animals and making the world a better place!
