Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Are We Leaving the Individual Behind? The Role of Animal Storytelling in the Animal Rights Movement, published by Ronen Bar on August 19, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The identifiable victim effect is a psychological phenomenon that describes how people are more likely to offer help or feel empathy when presented with a specific, identifiable individual in need, rather than a larger, anonymous group. When victims are given names, faces, or personal stories, it becomes easier for them to relate. Studies have shown that this is also the case for farmed animals, and that this effect can be limited to a single-identifiable victim (i.e., the singularity effect, the phenomenon where people are more motivated to help a single victim than a group of victims, even when the group is small). Identifying a victim can be seen as a solution to scope insensitivity; people undervalue the scale of a problem when presented with statistics. That insight is the basis of storytelling - showing individuals turns numbers into faces, which forms the foundation of how the media tell stories and how the educational system approaches learning. I personally became aware of this when I studied journalism about 15 years ago, when one of my teachers told me I can't do a story on farmed animals because I don't have anyone to interview. No individual, no story. As a journalist on Israeli TV and an animal rights advocate working with the media, I told stories about facilities, industries, and practices, not individuals. My unchecked assumption is that the most effective way to present a story is with faces and numbers, having a strong connection between the two, and explaining the big statistics through the eyes of one individual. On an anecdotal level, when individual stories of animals are told, they seem to have a significant effect. My Octopus Teacher is an interesting example; the most amazing thing about it is that nothing dramatic happens in this movie - nothing that you wouldn't expect, no twist. Just a guy coming back again and again to visit the same individual animal. The Dodo is based on telling stories about animals, usually those that were rescued, sometimes also farmed animals. Organizations such as DXE have been able to tell stories of farmed animals, such as that of Lily and Lizzie, the pigs they rescued. However, when I look at our movement as a whole, this individual focused strategy seems quite uncommon. Animal Think Tank's messaging guide also includes the need to tell the stories of individuals (like Esther the Wonder Pig). What is a Story? A story involves change over time, highlighting the interactions between an individual and their environment. The more we can tell about this change, the better. If all we have is a picture, it is only a frozen moment; the viewer needs to fill the gap of what happened before and after. A picture is worth a thousand words, but a video is worth a thousand pictures because it shows the change of the individual and the environment through time. Furthermore, the more you can reveal about the animal's personality and the finer details you can describe, the more profound the story becomes. Imagine a boy in Ukraine who excelled in physics but struggled with math. A missile strike on his school took his life. You might wonder why I mentioned his strengths and weaknesses. Logically, it may not seem relevant, but emotionally, it is. It creates a connection, perhaps because you know someone like him - or maybe you see a bit of yourself in him. Our movement lacks stories about individual animals. With the exception of sanctuaries, we are almost a story-less movement, lacking canonical stories that resonate in the collective memory, not of farmed animals and not of wild animals. What is animal storytelling? Animal storytelling is a narrative appro...
Tom is an internationally acclaimed artist, published author, and social justice activist. He is an expert and consultant on animal liberation history and strategy, and the global animal rights movement. His first book, Your Neighbour Kills Puppies was released in March 2024. The book is the previously untold story of one of the world's most powerful social justice campaigns, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC). Tom became involved in the animal liberation movement at the age of fifteen when he attended his first hunt sab. Over the years that followed he devoted his life to helping animals and co-founded one of the UK`s most successful regional animal rights organizations, SARC (The Southern Animal Rights Coalition). Tom is a regular contributor to Forca Vegan magazine, and other periodicals. Under the professional name ‘Tattoo Tom‘, Tom has also achieved a highly successful and acclaimed career as an artist. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what's real?” & “who matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings."

I think we probably came dangerously close" - "The government in the UK essentially framed us and set us up on bogus blackmail charges... I received a 5 year prison sentence for... a lawful campaign... I served 2 years." - 3 years on bail before-hand and 2.5 years on license afterwards with a tag "which was probably the toughest bit... I wasn't allowed to talk to my brother... a constant threat that they were going to send me back to prison." - Since release, finding a very different animal liberation world - Lord Sainsbury's intention "to eliminate the anti-vivisection movement... he succeeded for a good decade" - "The movement I knew didn't exist... new groups like the Save Movement, Animal Rebellion, DxE... started forming" - Taking up tattoo artistry because "I was essentially banned from talking to any other activist... any other vegan... all of my friends I wasn't allowed to talk to them" - "Stabbing people for money" :) 10:10 What's Real? - "I actually dropped out of a philosophy degree to do more animal rights activism" - Growing up in a non-religious family, probably atheists - Christian grandparents "it was good for them...

Dxe Co-Founder and leader of the Open Rescue Movement talks to UnchainedTV about his recent California conviction and the shocking, dropping of all felony charges against him in a 2017 Beagle Open Rescue case in Wisconsin, days before trial was set to start. You could call it a big victory for animal rights. Most people would be thrilled to avoid the possibility of 16 years in prison. But, the incredibly courageous Wayne Hsiung is not happy that he doesn't get to show the world what's happening to beagles in a court of law, arguing the real crime is animal cruelty, not rescuing. Wayne was just published in the Harvard Law Review at the same time as his law license is getting suspended due to his convictions in the Sonoma County Open Rescue trial. Joining him is noted attorney Mirais Holden. For more info, visit: https://www.directactioneverywhere.com/ and https://blog.simpleheart.org/
Wayne Hsiung was released on December 9, 2023 after serving a sentence of 38 days in a Sonoma County (Calif.) jail for trying to free animals from the cruelty of factory farms. I talked to Wayne as he prepared for the trial earlier in the year. He was optimistic, considering he had just beaten the attempts in Utah to convict him on similar charges. As we recount 2023, we reprise my conversation with Wayne in this encore podcast presentation. Read about Hsiung's Sonoma Country conviction on his Substack blog, The Simple Heart.

Shocking new developments in the Open Rescue Trial in Sonoma County, California. Numerous animal activists were initially arrested for the rescue of about 70 chickens and ducks from 3 factory farms in 2018 & 2019. They say they have the legal right to rescue suffering animals. Now, only ONE defendant remains, charged with conspiracy and trespassing, Wayne Hsiung, co-founder of Direct Action Everywhere, a large animal rights organization considered a threat to the meat industry. Is the government trying to “cut the head off the snake” as one prosecutor is alleged to have declared? Why is the defense gagged and defense witnesses forced to appear in court, prior to the start of trial? Our expert panel includes former Assistant DA Nathan Semmel, TheirTurn's Donny Moss, OMG! LA host Michelle Celestino, Animal Alliance's Ellen Dent, Action Hour's Lindsey Baker and DxE's Carla Cabral, LIVE at the courthouse. UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell hosts this panel.

Find out what they got. In 2019, they entered a Canadian pig breeding facility and videotaping the horrific conditions, demanding action for the helpless animals. While handing down the guilty verdicts, even the judge said, “several of those images are impactful, poignant, troubling, and disturbing.” So, why are they being punished for showing the truth?

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Paul Walker, who shares the following recording of LRA 36. Paul made this recording on Sunday, March 19, 2023, starting at 02:21 UTC in McGrath, Alaska on 15,476 kHz. He was using an ATS25 max radio , an Emtech ZM2 tuner, a DXE preamp, and a 15 foot wellbrook loop.
When asked how he identifies, Wayne Hsiung says one word. "Animal." Hsiung is the co-founder of DxE, Direct Action Everywhere, known for reviving the art of protest in the animal rights movement through "open rescue," a dramatic, effective, and memorable tactic. He reveals insights on DxE's victory over Smithfield's factory farm operation in Utah where Hsiung faced felony charges for saving two baby piglets. In conversation with Emil Guillermo, Hsiung gets personal about growing up in Indiana, and how his Taiwanese family's spiritual beliefs have informed and motivated his animal rights mission. Hsiung also predicts his prospects in an upcoming beagle rescue case in Wisconsin. Hsiung's blog is The Simple Heart (simpleheart.substack.com). Register for the Animal Liberation Conference, June 9th - 14th (LiberationConference.com), in Berkeley where Hsiung will facilitate an interactive workshop called The Open Rescue Experience.

The Animal Activist Legal Defense Project, led by renowned attorney Carter Dillard, is now representing animal activists all over the United States. Recently, there was a fascinating legal summit unpacking the historic acquittal of two Direct Action Everywhere animal activists who faced over a decade in prison for rescuing two sick piglets from a Utah factory farm. The summit tried to figure out what exactly what made the jurors, in a conservative Utah county, find the defendants, Wayne Hsiung and Paul Picklesimer, NOT GUILTY on all counts. And, the summit also discussed the legal underpinnings of the Right to Rescue movement, which says: when you see an animal suffering you have the right to rescue that animal, even if it means going onto private property and removing the animal. Now, attorney Carter Dillard talks to UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell about all of this! Are we hitting the animal rights LEGAL tipping point?

Eva is the operations lead for the startup non-profit Pax Fauna. Pax Fauna exists to design a more effective social movement for animal freedom in the U.S. Eva has been organizing in the animal freedom movement since 2015 when she started working with Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) in Chicago, where she focused on building community, writing protest music, and compiling the movements' songs into an online songbook used by advocates around the world. She started working full time as DxE's legal coordinator in 2018, managing the organization's many legal cases, organizing trainings, and orchestrating large artistic demonstrations. Building on a background in Kingian nonviolence, Eva is a dedicated student of #nonviolentcommunication and is committed to bringing NVC's repertoire of creative problem-solving tools to the work of building a better culture in the animal movement. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what's real?” & “who matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here on YouTube. We discuss: 00:00 Welcome 01:39 Eva's Intro 02:48 What's Real? - "Growing up I definitely loved the supernatural... ghosts... god... mystical things" - Raised #episcopalian, baptised, church "I remember really enjoying that" - Considering confirmation but "starting to feel a little bit sceptical" - 5th grade: Debating people online about religion - "A sudden realisation... I don't actually believe all of this" - Looking for purpose - Identifying as an #atheist & focusing on the harms of religion (unaccepting, destructive, family rejections) - "I still don't believe in anything that can't be falsified" - "I'm really connected to the needs that can be met by religion..." working in an end of life hospice - "My own spirituality... characterised by #nonviolence" a Kingian perspective, nonviolent communication - Meeting the needs (community, morality)... without the supernatural - Valuing acceptance & care for others led to hostility vs. some religious ethics - #yoga & #meditation then finding "a more secular form of meditation" - Using supernaturalism as a metaphor - Naturalistic "spirituality"... "a felt sense of purpose" 13:20 What Matters? - Non-violence: Getting away from black & white "right and wrong" thinking to "thinking about needs" - Finding creative alternatives to meeting needs without violence - Needs & strategies to meet them - More fundamental needs: safety, sustenance, freedom from suffering - #maslow 's hierarchy, Scott Barry Kaufman's sailboat @ThePsychologyPodcast - Protective use of force.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A new framing to replace "Welfarism vs. Abolitionism", published by Aidan Kankyoku on January 26, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Inspired by what seems like a recent détente between different factions in animal advocacy, I just posted this two-part article to paxfauna.org and wanted to share it here as well. It has more of a narrative form but I try to present a new way of thinking about these different roles in the movement. Hope you find it useful or at least enjoyable! Part 1: "Welfarism Vs. Abolitionism" Is Obsolete The Gist Animal advocates have been divided over pursuing more or less radical demands, leading to a conflict often framed as welfarism vs. abolitionism. This framing obscures the fact that all strategies used by animal advocates are incremental; we merely focus on different increments. Existing evidence does not support some of activists' most common concerns about incremental welfare campaigns. A more sophisticated view of the different roles necessary in a movement ecology can resolve these conflicts. An Innocent Question When I was in college, around 2016, my campus animal rights club hosted a talk by the local representative of The Humane League (THL). As she stood facing about two dozen college students interested in animal activism, she began her talk with a question: “What goal should animal activists pursue?” After several seconds of silence, I threw out an answer that reflected my background as an organizer with Direct Action Everywhere (DxE for short). DxE had a notorious flair for dramatic confrontations with the public, using disruptive protest to demand a complete dismantling of the legal systems abetting the exploitation of other animals for the benefit of humans. My answer, one of DxE's slogans, was shorthand for that: “Total animal liberation.” The THL rep (I'll call her Kristy since I haven't asked permission to use her name) endured an awkward silence waiting to see if anyone else would respond. Kristy had been working for THL about as long as I'd been organizing with DxE. Her job was to mobilize volunteers to support THL's signature tactics: handing out leaflets to the public about meatless diets, and pressuring corporations like Mcdonald's to set animal welfare standards for their supply chains. When she clicked to the next slide, the answer waiting there was, like mine, a reflection of her organization's ethos: “Reduce the greatest amount of suffering for the greatest number of animals we can.” Them's Fightin' Words For an outsider to the world of animal advocacy, these two answers would probably seem perfectly compatible. Yet from the moment they were spoken, room 217 of the Hellems Arts & Sciences building was filled with a palpable tension. A conflict much larger than us had asserted itself. The humans that make up both THL and DxE share the extremely uncommon view that farming animals is a grievous moral harm, and the even less common conviction to dedicate their lives to opposing it. Yet back in 2016, this didn't seem to be worth much. The relationship between the organizations was racked with mutual distrust, even disdain. And this malaise was merely a microcosm for a larger conflict among animal advocates, one that had been playing out for years in vicious comment threads across social media. To at least one side, this was known as the battle of welfarists vs. abolitionists. In a moment, I'll explain why I hope this dichotomy will finally be relegated to the dustbin of history. In fact, I believe it was as useless and misleading back then as it is now. But that's not what I thought at the time. As soon as Kristy's answer appeared on the screen, a familiar narrative was racing through my brain. I had labeled her a welfarist, and as fast as my neurons could fire, this label was joined by a series of harsh judgments. K...

In 1986, Gene Baur saw a sheep lying in the so-called “dead pile” at Lancaster Stockyards. But this sheep wasn't dead. She lifted her head, and Gene rushed her to receive veterinary care. The story of Hilda is just one of many that Gene has to tell from his nearly four decades of animal rights activism. But it all comes back to the same foundational idea: when we are at our best, we are rescuers of animals, not their tormenters.Hilda's story from Farm Sanctuary: https://www.farmsanctuary.org/news-stories/hilda/The Power of Open Rescue (article by DxE co-founder Ronnie Rose): https://medium.com/@ronnierose/the-power-of-open-rescue-58b250323a32
Wayne Hsiung is a former law professor who was recently acquitted by a Utah jury after being charged with stealing two piglets from a factory farm, in a story that made national news. In 2017, animal liberation activist group Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) released a video showing the horrifying conditions of pigs in a facility run by Smithfield Foods, and showing the rescue of two dying piglets from the farm. The activists, including Hsiung, were pursued relentlessly for the next five years, with the FBI even invading animal sanctuaries in order to try to recover the stolen piglets. Hsiung faced significant jail time if convicted, but successfully managed to convince the jury to acquit him. The case is important because a conviction would have had a chilling effect on important activism exposing the abuses of factory farms. But jurors even went so far as to ask why Hsiung hadn't rescued more of the facility's sick piglets. Today, Wayne joins us along with DxE investigator Matt Johnson, to discuss the original nighttime operation, the Utah trial, and what DxE hopes to expose about the animal farming industry. We talk about why DxE chooses the tactic of going into factory farms and removing animals, how a Utah jury became convinced Wayne's actions weren't a crime, and the work yet to be done in creating a humane life for animals everywhere.More on the time Matt tricked Fox Business into thinking he was the CEO of Smithfield Foods is here. Wayne's blog The Simple Heart is here and information on the campaigns surrounding is at righttorescue.com. The interview with Marina Bolotnikova on factory farming is here.

Documenting cruelty in factory farms has been a hallmark of animal rights since PETA started doing it in the early 1990s. Just this week, a PETA undercover investigation video of the cruelty at Plainville Farm in Pennsylvania enabled the Pennsylvania State Police to charge 11 people with nearly 140 counts of cruelty to animals, including felonies. It is the largest number of charges in any factory-farmed animal case in U.S. history. As that case begins, a noteworthy case ended in Utah: The trial of Direct Action Everywhere (DXE) activists for felony burglary and theft alleged to have occurred in 2017. While documenting the cruelty at a factory farm, the activists saw two piglets near death and rescued them. Instead of going after the corporate farm interests, prosecutors went after the activists. Emil Guillermo talked to Jeremy Beckham, a Utah activist who covered the trial from start to finish. Find out how DXE activists Wayne Hsiung and Paul Picklesimer won over a jury and triumphed over Smithfield and factory farming in Utah. Find out more about the trial.

It's still a little hard to believe. But on October 8, just a few days ago, a jury in southern Utah found me not guilty on all charges. The next few podcasts will discuss the trial, and its aftermath. But this first episode will focus on what came before: the incredible mobilization of people across the nation and world to fight with us against Smithfield, and for the right to rescue. Almira Tanner is lead organizer of the grassroots animal rights network Direct Action Everywhere (DxE). She was the one, behind the scenes, ensuring all the trains ran on time – from the disruption of an NFL game on Monday Night Football to managing the theater in St. George where supporters gathered to watch the trial. Curtis Vollmar is the grassroots lead for Compassionate Bay, a 501(c)(4) organization that has pushed some of the most groundbreaking legislation in animal rights history, including a nearly-successful effort to impose a moratorium on new factory farms. Curtis was the activist who, in July 2022, was charged with disorderly conduct for merely leafleting in Beaver County, Utah regarding the Smithfield trial. His case, and the death threats against animal rights activists, were the basis for our successful effort to move the Smithfield trial from Beaver to Washington County. Finally, Paul Darwin Picklesimer was my co-defendant in the Smithfield trial, and a lead investigator in the DxE Open Rescue Network. Among other things, Paul is also responsible for the design aesthetic of DxE. You'll hear all the work these folks did behind the scenes to make sure that the story of the Smithfield trial reached, not just the mainstream media, but became a powerful narrative in communities across the nation. How did we do it? What were the impacts? What were our mistakes? You'll hear it all on this episode – and also how you played a crucial role, too.

A widely watched case pitting animal welfare advocates against a Fortune 500 company has come to a conclusion and the results could have far-reaching implications in how the courts view the concept of “theft” versus “rescue.”In 2017, two members of an animal rights group called Direct Action Everywhere (or, DxE) were investigating conditions for pigs being raised for slaughter at Circle Four Farms, a Utah-based factory farm owned by Smithfield Foods.While on site, the two men – Wayne Hsiung and Paul Picklesimer – reportedly discovered two newborn piglets they determined to be sick and dangerously underweight. They then removed the piglets, took them for veterinary care, and transferred them to an animal sanctuary.When the incident was discovered, the two men were charged with felony burglary and theft and were facing up to five and half years in prison pending the results of their trial.In what's being viewed as a huge victory for opponents of animal cruelty, a jury has unanimously agreed that the two men be acquitted for their actions, with legal experts suggesting this could lay the groundwork for a legal “right to rescue” – establishing a difference between what took place and what would be considered theft.The pig rescue operation reportedly occurred during an attempt by DxE to verify whether Smithfield had ceased to use highly-criticized “gestation crates” that were too small for pregnant pigs to turn around in. They contend they did find these, despite Smithfield pledging to no longer use them at Circle Four. Throughout the course of this, the men from DxE say they also found dead and sick piglets, including the two in question – who they named Lilly and Lizzie.

There's a lot of controllable things. And then that to me is the uncontrollable one. I think what I would cite is just the demand and the same challenges that we're having every developer's having. It's just slowing down builder. And it's just reading more demand. Intro 00:19 Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Sam Wilson 00:30 Josh Eitingon is the co-founder of DXE Properties, a real estate investment company. He focuses on acquisitions and business optimization. Josh, welcome to the show. Josh Eitingon 00:40 Thank you. It's good to be here. Thanks for having me. Sam Wilson 00:42 Hey, man, pleasure is mine. Three questions I asked every guest who comes on the show: in 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there? Josh Eitingon 00:50 Started 2012, a roundabout way, but I am out of New York. I was introduced to a property manager in Cincinnati, Ohio, liked each other. He ended up sort of being my boots on the ground, found an interesting short sale opportunity $175,000 I syndicated 20 units. And it was a suburb of Cincinnati. And that was basically my first deal. It was held for like a year and a half the property management did the renovation oversight, and we sold it. I don't know. Yeah, it was probably less than a year and a half later, and I was stuck. I was 2012. At that time I was working for a software company was like. Oh, real estate's the best thing ever. So I was committed in my mind to get over to the real estate side, save that software company for another year or two, left to where real estate investment company as an acquisitions guy, slash analyst I learned a lot there was really on the ground and was able to touch a lot of different parts of that business, ultimately peeled away from them. After five or six years, really, I think better learning and understanding it and co-founded DXE properties. My current partner, Donato. And my most recent project is actually a big deal. It's $180 million development in Seattle, we're building 410 multifamily units on top of retail. There's a lot in between. But that's the then to now in terms of where we started and where we are today. Sam Wilson 02:12 Wow, let's talk about that first deal for a quick second, you indicated that you syndicated that deal, how does the $135,000 deal support even the document preparation for syndication? Josh Eitingon 02:23 I don't know that I totally did. There's lot of takeaways, but a lot of the things I had going for me at the time, one, timing of the market, I didn't even know enough to know how good my timing was. But I did raise money for that deal in the form of promissory notes. So it was really a syndication necessarily. But that allowed the economics to make a little bit more sense that I paid everyone 9% and then was able to realize the upside on my own. It's difficult, like you're alluding to, to really syndicate a deal that size, and there'll be anything left in it. Sam Wilson 02:55 Right. Absolutely. That's awesome. Let's move on from that. And let's talk about your five or six years. But as an acquisitions slash analyst, would you recommend that path to someone? Josh Eitingon 03:05 Yes, enormously, there's no way we would have been able to scale the way we did, and have done as a company had I not had that background and direct experience, not just learning like the numbers side of it, or the mechanics side of it. But really just understanding the relationship building, the people, nurturing, cultivation part of the business, that was really the fuel to allow, I think us to go it's different. Everyone's starting at a different point in their life. I was 25 or 26, saying, let's make a career change, no kids, no wife at the time. So it's easier for me to do that and take that path. But I think if you're younger, getting into the business, the more traditional path, I think, well, it could take time and maybe be frustrating that way, really arms you to do a lot more later, I think. Sam Wilson 03:51 What were some things that you saw that you said, Hey, we're not going to repeat that when I go out on my own? Josh Eitingon 03:57 I think a lot of it probably deal profile. And that's taken some time. It's not that first deal that made me realize, hey, this works. But I think getting outside of the rougher C class space and getting enamored by higher cap rate deals that, on paper, make more sense. I think we like a lot of syndicators have been saved by some of the market, maybe getting into some rougher deals and coming out, you know, with the big smile on the other side. I think now we're still buyers at the end of the day, and we're going to try to be buyers, even though it's all competitive. We want to chase quality and a story behind that quality. Sam Wilson 04:32 Yeah, that's interesting. Do you think if I'm hearing you right, is that the people holding or buying rougher C minus D class properties are taking on more risk maybe than what they were seven, eight years ago? Josh Eitingon 04:44 Certainly, we're in different markets, you and I but still I buy a low three cap C Class deal to maybe take it to an operated at a five which is probably optimistic these days. There's no way I want to take that risk on that profile deal and we saw it from COVID. Not to say we're going to have that same outbreak or whatever, but that flash dramatically impacted those profiles kind of based in terms of service workers losing their job very quickly, often being week to week, month to month type tenants, those who want that were impacted, whereas I think even a slight step above was much better insulated to weather a storm or blip. Sam Wilson 05:23 Right? How do you feel on the other end of the spectrum, you guys are building brand new, was that, 200 or 210 units of multifamily on top of retail, I mean, development has its own inherent risks as well, how do you feel like when you contrast those two, how and why do you feel like what you're doing is a safer bet? Josh Eitingon 05:41 I'm nervous about it. Don't get me wrong, but I'm nervous about everything these days. I don't think you should be buying anything and not be nervous about it at any point in time. It's probably healthy. So it's concerning, I think inflation's probably our biggest risk. Right now. There's a lot of controllable things. And then that to me, is the uncontrollable one, I think what I would cite is just the demand and the same challenges that we're having, every developer's having, it's just slowing down build-up. And it's just reading more and more demand. So this was a deal that likely we would not be doing were it not for the story. It's something that we've been working on for years and years, we sort of made a bit of like a land bank type of play, and I think got lucky with the land that we do own and are developing on. But generally, I think development while it definitely carries higher risks, we are seeing more development than we have in the past, because we had the conversation with ourselves about just replacement costs. And if you're buying a B class steel for 180 200, something a door, and you build it for 200 Something a door makes you scratch your head. So as much as I realized the risks where we are being pulled that way more and more right now, Sam Wilson 06:48 Talk to us about the story behind this, if you can, behind this deal. Josh Eitingon 06:53 In Seattle. Sure. So do you know Seattle? Sam Wilson 06:57 Roughly. Josh Eitingon 06:58 Okay, Seattle, a big push for them. It has been like a light rail expansion project, it started down at the airport continuing into downtown, and it's sort of spread off from there, east-west north, the North light rail has been trying to get traction for a long time in terms of its approval. Finally, in the last few years, it was approved, but they receive state funding. And we focus on one of the likely approval towns that were coming. And we put options, there's a cul de sac of eight homes put above-market options to buy these houses that were all like pretty rundown houses for I think they're all a year plus. So it gave us some flexibility to just see what was going to happen. I think we got lucky and bright as part of it. But they ended up choosing not like... our town directly adjacent to our site, which we were hopeful and expecting to happen. And as part of that, they had to up zone that area to really I think allow for and complement the growth that was going to come with the light rail. So these single-family lots went from single-family lots to something that we could build up to 12 stories on. So you know, I think more than anything, as our hedge, our land base is so so low there that we just feel very comfortable pressing forward, even at this time. Sam Wilson 08:13 You guys are in New York, you already have a footprint there in Seattle? Josh Eitingon 08:16 We do. So a good friend of ours who is out of New York also now is from Seattle. So that's what pulled us over there. Admittedly, it's not what we know, especially well, when I was on the acquisition side, I was all focused in the southeast. So there's eight or nine cities in the southeast that I know very well, Seattle, we were hanging out too. And we were chasing that story. Ultimately, we're chasing a story. As much as I like to say we're doing anything at a next level. That's a lot of the value that we bring to us and our investors, that's the backstory of the deal. Sam Wilson 08:48 And that's true. I think with any of us, you know, there's a lot of things I've been involved in, and I'm like, Wait, how did I get here? Well, it's just... called you and said, Hey, I've got this interesting deal, you know, in such in such a location, let me tell you about it. You're like, Oh, that's really smart. I love it. Let's go. But without that local knowledge, that's what I was getting at was like, how are you finding eight homes, rougher homes and you want to put options on them. That's a really nuanced buy, you know, for a guy living on the other side of the country. Josh Eitingon 09:16 It would not have happened, were it not for our friend that's out of New York and his family's in real estate, has the ties out there and pull this out there. But it's difficult, like, you know, whether you're starting or trying to take a leap into a new market, it is a challenge. I mean, newer, way larger companies than us do it all the time. And even for them, they have the same growing pains breaking to new market, building the same team and efficiencies and all of that, it's a challenge. Sam Wilson 09:40 What's been a mistake that you've made that has either cost you in time or money or both? Josh Eitingon 09:45 It's probably on the property management side, maybe being slow to remove a property manager. I think now with a little bit more, we've definitely seen that with greater size you do get a better caliber of managers to choose from, but particularly when I was starting with somewhat smaller deals, and your manager options are more like the, you know, small company guy that's jumping around from place to place and as a small team and still figuring out himself, I think the takeaway was that if you see something going sideways management-wise, operationally, you're better off pulling off the bandaid sooner rather than later and rather than trying to fix something that might be unfixable. Sam Wilson 10:24 Yeah, there's a quote that I've often said, but it's hard to implement, right? Because you think you can course-correct? Yeah, the quote is, often when's the right time to fire somebody? And the answer is the first time you think about it. I've never had that not be true. Like when it comes to staff, when it comes to property managers or something else. It's like, you know, you internally know there's a compass somewhere inside of you, that goes, this is not working, and it's not ever going to work. Josh Eitingon 10:47 I like it. I'll cite you every time I use it. But I do like it. Sam Wilson 10:51 Right, and it's kind of a harsh statement, you know, but it goes hand in hand with that, you know, the time and money mistakes. The first time you thought about it, and you probably were never wrong, from that point moving forward until you removed them like, oh, man, I'm so glad I finally got that done. Josh Eitingon 11:02 I agree. And especially now when it's like, so difficult to find good people that you're like, you're sort of reluctant to remove anyone at any point in time, because it's just, you don't know what you're gonna get on the other side of the coin. It's a balance in that way. But I think with making a change from property manager as a whole, on that side, I just say rip the band-aid and reset, and it's probably healthy. Sam Wilson 11:24 Very healthy. Yep, absolutely. Love it. How are you guys handling your financing right now? Josh Eitingon 11:29 We do everything. Last year, we assumed a HUD loan, we have agency financing, Fannie and Freddie we have bridge debt, which has been mostly like just bank debt fund type bridge debt. We've done local bank financing. So I think touched at all, we've even done insurance company financing. You know, right now, I think what's most attractive, obviously, rates are going up quickly. So that's something to be mindful of underwriting for hedge for all those things. I think that what we've seen in the last year has certainly been that bridge financing has been super aggressive. And it almost precludes going agency, at least for most of the deals that we've looked at just because of the flexibility to be able to exit from bridge financing versus agency. Sam Wilson 12:10 Is there a lending product that you see is risky? Josh Eitingon 12:13 I guess historically, you would say bridge financing, even after I just said how much I like it right now, I think that it's still profile-driven. My argument always for bridge financing is you can exit it, it's easy to exit. Whereas in some cases with agency financing, if you have long-term and yield maintenance, you know, you might be in a situation where you can exit in two or three years. And if that was bridge, you wouldn't be able to exit. So you know, you could argue that what's traditionally thought of as the safest type of financing may not be Sam Wilson 12:44 Right. Yeah. And certainly with the tailwinds that we've experienced here in the last few years, a lot of people have paid a lot of prepayment penalties. And, you know, if they were in a shorter-term debt situation that cost them a little bit more on the front end, you know, they've been able to exit and save 10s of millions of dollars on prepayment penalties. So it's a balancing act. Josh Eitingon 13:04 Yeah, you know, I don't grant it, it's way above my paygrade. But you would think that Fannie or Freddie would try to compete a little more, and perhaps lighten their exit penalties or do something to just make it that much more attractive. I think they could pull back a lot of the bridge business that they have since lost. Sam Wilson 13:21 Right. Yeah. And that's just the market filling the gap, which is, you know, what the market should do when there's an inefficiency there. Talk to us a little bit about your team. I mean, building $180 million development is no small feat, especially across the country. How are you getting that done? Josh Eitingon 13:35 Yes, so, I've obviously mostly talked about myself, but my partner's background is really strictly development, mostly high rise development, but it's really exactly what he's done. And in terms of background and path, he took a much more traditional real estate path. He went to college as an engineer and then he went to grad school for a real estate development from NYU, and then works for developers and contractors that are all real estate focused. I sort of bounced around a little more. So you know, we've really compiled a team out there to be able to do this, and it's a team of 12 different individuals, but we have a consultant that's directly working for us. That's really our boots on the ground to I think facilitate taking it through today through entitlement in a way that we can't do as efficiently day to day. However, I will tell you, it's by far the most time-intensive of anything that we're involved in. We have two standing calls with full team which is 20 plus people at this point every week. And then on top of that, there's just a lot of weekly activity and we haven't started we hope to break ground middle of next year. So it's time in certainly time intensive but you think this is a project just because of its uniqueness and what we're putting together. We're super excited about it just elevating us as a company. Sam Wilson 14:48 That is awesome. Absolutely love it. Last few questions for you. Tell me something that you are curious about. Josh Eitingon 14:54 I assume you want a real estate-centric answer right. Sam Wilson 14:58 Show is yours, man. Josh Eitingon 14:59 You know, something I was talking about this morning with my partner here on maybe the more optimistic one than then to not always but, you know, he was rattling his mind for what's going to cause the reset or how to prices reset. I don't want to say we're rooting for a crash, but a little shake up a little bit of hesitation in the marketplace, we think would be healthy. So that's what I'm very curious about. I have no clue what's going to do that. It's probably not something that I could live off. That's what I'm scratching my head about right now. Sam Wilson 15:28 Right? Like, if we have a correction, does it help commodities prices? Or does it drive them higher? You know, if it does that, does that reduce demand if commodities prices fall, and so we're, you know, it's now we're worse off than we were before? Who knows? The great thing to be curious about I love that what's a good book you're reading right now? Josh Eitingon 15:43 Not really reading any good books right now. I was just gifted a masterclass. I don't know. Have you heard of those? Sort of like, Yeah, we're excited to listen to some of those. A book that I always like suggest, which is something I read early on, that's always stuck in there for some reason was Powerhouse Principles. Have you heard of that? It's Jorge Pérez. He's like, he was one of the founders of related companies down in Miami, and was sort of like from nothing to building a behemoth company. And it's a combination of high level and also getting in the weeds and good, easy read, if you're looking for a suggestion. Sam Wilson 16:17 Absolutely. I love it. Josh, last question for you. If your listeners want to get in touch with you, what is the best way to do that? Josh Eitingon 16:22 The best way is through our website, dxeproperties.com.

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Paul Walker, who shares the following short recording of VOA's Hausa language service recorded on February 26, 2022 in McGrath, Alaska on 11,900 kHz at 20:58 UTC. This recording was made with a Tecsun PL-880, DXE preamp and two tunable HF loop antennas.Paul notes: “Hausa language gets lopped off for an English sign-off message and Yankee Doodle Dandy followed by a carrier cut 1 minute 20 seconds later.”
In 2013, I co-founded a ragtag grassroots outfit called Direct Action Everywhere. We did street theater in grocery stores and silly flash mobs in Louis Vuitton and spoke truth to power wherever we could, even when our voices would shake. And while we earned some fans for our passion, most of the mainstream media, and even the world of nonprofit activism, scoffed at us. The things we were asking for – a world where every living creatures is safe and free; a transformation of our political system towards compassion and away from corporate profit – seemed somewhere between stupid and delusional. Dr. Drew brought us on his new national television show at Headline News, and mocked us for being obsessed with chickens.But Donny Moss, a long-time journalist and public relations expert with blood as blue as blue can be (Ivy League credentials; Big Pharma alum), did something very different. He listened. And something odd happened: he liked what he heard. Donny and Jane Velez-Mitchell, a former news anchor who Donny partnered with in the early 2010s, gave us a platform when few others wouldn't. And I never really understood why. Donny lived in a beautiful apartment in the best part of Manhattan. He was married to the general counsel for one of the largest corporations in the world. His life seemed so perfect and successful and normal. Why would he start associating with, well, someone like me?This conversation explains why. Donny, you see, went through a massive personal challenge (and transformation) in the years before he was a journalist and activist. He was a young gay man, in the late 80s and 90s, at the height of the AIDS pandemic. But unlike the gay men mobilizing in the streets to ACT UP and fight back, as powerful men laughed at them (and their friends and lovers wasted away and died), Donny worked for a major pharmaceutical company that was the target of protests. But, secretly, while working for their enemy, his heart was with the underdog. His heart was with the people on the streets. I think that's what Donny saw in me and DxE. We were earnest and angry, but we wore our hearts on our sleeves. And it's why, a few years later, he decided he wanted to do more than just share our story. He walked with us into a massive factory farm and walked out with a sick and tortured animal in his arms – and then broadcast everything he did on his news platform, Their Turn, at great personal risk. This is a fascinating conversation with one of my favorite people in the world. And there's a lot to learn – about privilege, about courage, about change. Give it a listen, and let me know what you think!Read Donny Moss' journalism on Theirturn.netMusic by Moby: Everything That Rises
Attorney and animal activist Wayne Hsiung has repeatedly risked serving prison terms to wake the world up to the horrors of modern day animal agriculture! This co-founder of the groundbreaking animal rights organization Direct Action Everywhere is using high-tech Virtual Reality cameras and Livestreams to bring viewers along with him as he, and other activists, engage in what DxE has coined Open Rescue. This is when activists trespass onto modern day Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, farms and slaughterhouses to rescue animals they identify as sick and/or at risk of death. Wayne Hsiung and others have been prosecuted for these actions. He was recently convicted in North Carolina for removing a baby goat from a farm in 2018, an action which he LIVE STREAMED on Facebook. He got a suspended sentence. Wayne Hsiung represented himself in the case and tried to bring issues of animal rights into the trial but was blocked by prosecutors and the judge. What's next for Wayne Hsiung? Upcoming trials? This brilliant, changemaker discusses this and more with UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell.

In August 2017, I received a phone call that changed my life. “Wayne, there are FBI agents here,” the voice said. “They're searching for Lily.” For years, DxE had been openly rescuing animals and daring the industry or government to prosecute us for rescuing dying animals from factory farms. We knew repression was going to come. What we didn't know is that it would start with a multi-state hunt for a piglet named Lily that would end in an FBI raid at a sanctuary in Colorado. Shaleen Shan is the owner of the sanctuary in question, Luvin Arms in Erie Colorado. And until now, Shaleen has not told his story publicly. Shaleen, you see, is not a rule breaker. And when a small armada of FBI agents descended on his sanctuary that day, he faced a choice that could change his life – and the course of the animal rights movement. Stay silent and cooperate with the government, to ensure the safety of his sanctuary, his business, and even his family. Or speak out and face the full power of the largest pig farming corporation in the world – Smithfield Foods – and its government allies. I would have understood taking the former choice. Shaleen is a business owner, a husband and father, and a nonprofit director; he didn't sign up for direct action or legal repression. But Shaleen did something that, increasingly, people across the world are realizing they have the power to do. He spoke out. And because he fought back and spoke out – resisting the agents' violent efforts to “collect DNA” from Lily and her sister, then speaking to a legendary journalist to blow the whistle on what happened – millions of people were exposed to not just the corrupt influence of corporate power on our government, but on the plight of pigs like Lily. This is a podcast I've wanted to do for years. And as we end one pig trial, it's time for us to tell the story of the next one. And in the fight against Smithfield, which sought unprecedented racketeering charges against me in May 2018, Shaleen's story will be crucial.

Duncan Watts, the Stevens University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, is a living legend. HIs paper, Collective Dynamics of Small-World Networks, is one of the most cited papers in the history of sociology. (There are Nobel Prize winners who have fewer citations in their career than that single paper by Duncan.) And while his name is not well known outside of academia, he has transformed multiple disciplines with his path breaking work in what is now known as “network science” – a blend of computer science, sociology, and mathematics that has changed the way we think about human behavior. And by “we”, I include me. As a young and aspiring social scientist in the early 2000s, I came across Duncan's work and was blown away by what it seemed to show. Human beings, it seemed, operated as if they were just nodes in a network. And you could no more understand the behavior of a single human, in isolation, than you could understand the human brain by looking at a single neuron. It was the connections between us, and not our individual characteristics, that drive change. And it turns out that, when we look at those connections, human beings are far closer to each other than you might think. Indeed, no matter how big a society gets, human beings seem to follow a rule that has been described as Six Degrees of Separation. This insight, and Duncan's other work on networks, led me down a strange and circuitous path, from law professor to animal rights activist. You'll hear about this in the podcast. But the most important application of his work, in my life, was the formation of the grassroots animal rights network Direct Action Everywhere, or DxE. You see, Duncan's research on networks showed that it wasn't necessarily the most connected people –the Oprah Winfreys or the Barack Obamas – who were driving change. Rather, it was networks of easy-to-activate ordinary people who were causing cascades of change. DxE was an attempt to deploy this research to build a movement for animal rights. This conversation is particularly important right now. I am in my second day of trial, in a felony trial that could land me in prison for years. But the industry, which is attempting to cut the head off the snake, is destined to fail. The reason is simple: they simply don't understand how social change works. It's not the leaders, but the masses of people who form the movement that the leaders represent, who ultimately drive change. And when you take out one leader, new leaders rise up. That is one of the many reasons why, no matter what happens in this trial, the movement will win.There are a lot of other practical tips, about living a good and productive life, that you'll get from this podcast. For example, you'll learn how to think about risk. And how creativity stems from unexpected social connections. And how a legendary social scientist maintains his intellectual humility. But maybe the most important thing we can learn is to stay open. Especially when people are making efforts to hurt you – including imprisonment, in my case – it's easy to stay closed off. But Duncan's work shows us that it's the connections we make, and not the ones we close off, that will ultimately create change.

Soon the state will be presenting evidence against Priya Sawhney regarding an alleged “conspiracy” to burglarize and steal animals from some of the largest factory farms in the U.S., including Petaluma Poultry – the largest organic poultry producer in the nation. All of the animals from Petaluma Poultry were unable to stand. Some had rotting, gaping wounds, including some so deep and necrotic that we could see their exposed bone. This was verified by the state's own veterinarian, yet instead of charging the company, one of the largest in Sonoma County, California, the government has come after Priya and others (including me) for setting up a veterinary tent and giving the animals care. The comic book villainy in this case would almost be funny if it didn't have dire consequences. First, Priya and I face felony charges and potentially years in prison. But second, and more importantly, the government's response here shows how the industry and government are acting to manipulate the public – what Priya calls “projection” – into supporting practices that, if they saw them first hand, would inspire outrage and horror. But the projection goes deeper than that. Because it's not just lies about facts. It's a lie about who we are, as a community, as a species, and as individual human beings. I don't want to say too much more because it'll give way what unfolds in this podcast. Give it a listen. I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did. And you'll see why, like so many, I am inspired by Priya every day, and honored to have her as a co-founder of DxE, and a dear friend.

On this week’s episode of System Update, host Glenn Greenwald explores The Intercept’s recently published investigation revealing the widespread use of a cruel, inhumane extermination method in Iowa Select’s pig farms in Iowa. Glenn talks to Matt Johnson, who lead the investigation by animal rights group DxE, and we also hear exclusive testimonial from the Iowa Select whistleblower who came forward with crucial transparency about an industry that works to conceal its practices from the public.

On this episode of the Animal Law Podcast, I'm bringing you something a little bit different. I speak with Wayne Hsiung of Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), who is a lawyer but is also one of the defendants in the cases we'll be speaking about today. The felony charges being brought against him and other DxE activists, in multiple states, are a result of open rescues of sick and dying animals from factory farms, which have been followed by prosecutions in which activists, including Wayne, are being charged with a wide range of offenses--including "theft of fruits and vegetables." We talk about the challenges of mounting a defense against these charges and how the lobbying influence of the agriculture industry directly targets animal activists.
Priya Sawhney (@priyadxe27), co-founder of Direct Action Everywhere (DxE, @dxeverywhere), talks about taking the mic from Bernie Sanders, the animal liberation movement, the fight over what threads the Sanders movement will include, and the campaign to Let Dairy Die.

Eva Hamer is a Legal Coordinator and Protest Musician for Direct Action Everywhere, otherwise known as DXE. The organization was formed in Berkeley, California in 2013 and it consists of an international network of animal activists. Movement building, non-violent direct action, and open rescue are the core values for DXE. Their motto is "We will change the world for the animals." In this episode, Eva shares her perspective of what it is like being an animal activist and participating in open rescues, which one of them was of her Beagle, Anna, that she rescued from a lab testing facility for cosmetics. Eva also talks about the work that she is doing as a Legal Coordinator for DXE and some of the felony court cases that many animal activists are being charged with.
9 year old Vegan Evan has been making waves in the community for a few years now, but most recently his publicity has come from a collaboration with Million Dollar Vegan, where he asked President Trump to go vegan for the month of January in exchange for One Million Dollars to be donated to US Veterans. The campaign now offers $1 to charity for every person who pledges to go vegan for the month of January. In addition to Evan's campaign with MDV, Evan is the president of Animal Hero Kids, and has participated in multiple animal rescues with DxE, and has spoken in front of thousands of people. In this podcast, Evan and his mom Shannon tell their story on how they went from just hearing about veganism, to what they've accomplished today.

For most of his life, Wayne Hsiung was a typical overachiever. He attended the University of Chicago, started his PhD in Economics, became a law professor at Northwestern, was mentored by Cass Sunstein. But then, something snapped. In the midst of a deep, overwhelming depression, Hsiung visited a slaughterhouse and was radicalized by the immense suffering he saw. He now faces decades in prison for rescuing sick, injured animals from slaughterhouses. Hsiung is the founder of Direct Action Everywhere, an organization best known for conducting public, open rescues of animals too sick for slaughter. These rescues are, in many cases, illegal, and Hsiung and his fellow activists are risking years of imprisonment. But the sacrifice is the point: Hsiung and his colleagues are trying to highlight the sickness of a society that criminalizes doing what any child would recognize as the right thing to do. In our conversation, I wanted to understand a simple question: How did he get here? What leads someone with a safe, comfortable life to risk everything for a cause? What does society look like to him now, knowing what he faces? And the big question: Is Hsiung the weird one? Or is it all of us — who see so much suffering and injustice and simply go about our lives — who have lost our way?

Interview Sylvere, Orlando, William, Lea au sujet de la Loi de la rose, Save Movement et DXE
Cassie King leads the Communications Committee for Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), an international animal rights group based in Berkeley, California. With DxE, she has helped rescue animals from farms and slaughterhouses, including her two bunnies at home (Jonah was rescued from a live poultry slaughterhouse and Mabel was rescued from a fur farm), and she is currently facing 7 felony charges for helping starving animals on factory farms in Sonoma County, California. In this episode, Cassie explains the importance (and dangers) of Open Rescues, and how we can get involved.

Conversamos con Neve, integrante de Direct Action Everywhere Argentina. Una red de base internacional de activistas por los derechos de los animales fundada en 2013 en el área de la Bahía de San Francisco. Lxs activistas de DxE comenzaron con protestas disruptivas, pero ahora también usan tácticas de acción directa no violentas para promover su causa, como el rescate abierto de animales de granjas y otras instalaciones y la construcción de comunidades. Su intención es construir un movimiento que eventualmente pueda cambiar la cultura y cambiar las instituciones sociales y políticas. Defensores de los derechos de los animales irrumpieron en el escenario principal de la Exposición Rural de Palermo para denunciar el maltrato animal. Ingresaron al centro de la pista donde los productores exponían a sus animales con carteles amarillos para pedir “Basta de matar animales”, entre otras consignas. Los gauchos respondieron a la protesta da manera violenta: los corrieron con caballos y los amenazaron con facones.

Facebook was abuzz recently over a Facebook Live video filmed by Chase Avior of Direct Action Everywhere that documented him and another person conducting an oppressive and antagonistic "action" in front of The Otheroom in Venice, CA. The action ended with avoidable violence and highlights exactly why a pro-intersectional approach to activism is so crucial in the animal rights movement. The post 122 Responding to DxE’s Oppressive Activism-Gone-Wrong Video appeared first on Vegan Warrior Princesses Attack!.
This week we talk about the crazy guy that wanted to punch me at the Farmer's Market as I protested the 'humane' cow killer(including audio from this interaction), we play the first part of our Clifton Roberts Interview, talk about Harambe and the DxE actions at the Sanders' speeches and more.
