Come ride with the Direct Action Everywhere! We an intersectional animal liberation group that is currently focused on asking restaurants in Portland to take foie gras off their menus! Foie gras is an extremely cruel practice where workers force feed ducks with tubes at least twice a day to enlarge their livers. California and New York City have already banned the sale of foie gras, we are asking Oregon to do the same, starting with individual restaurants! We will be biking and chanting F** foie gras (along with other animal liberation chants) and will be ending at Bistecca Woodfire Steakhouse, where we will protest outside on the public sidewalk to ask them to take foie gras off their menu! Signs will be provided, but feel free to come with your own if you would like! Meet at Laurelhurst at 6, ride is at 6:30. At 6 we will be chatting about Direct Action Everywhere's work and how to get involved! Its about a 25 minute bike ride to Bistecca. Come prepared to make some noise to disrupt Bistecca to pressure them to take foie gras off the menu! https://www.instagram.com/dxe_portland/
