SUMMARY:Unilever Unmasked Part 2 - Afternoon Protest
DESCRIPTION:Join Mercy For Animals at Unilever\,160 Bloor St E\, Toronto\, ON M4W 1B9. \nA global consumer goods company\, has faced backlash for dropping their 2025 goal of sourcing 100% cage-free eggs worldwide\, maintaining commitments only in Western markets while leaving millions of hens in cages elsewhere. Despite reaching 68% globally\, this move raises concerns about prioritizing profit over animal welfare. \nWe launched a campaign with OWA on Feb 3 to push Unilever to restore its global cage-free commitment and publish a clear\, actionable plan.\nDue to their lack of action\, we are planning a protest at Unilever’s Canadian offices on May 21\, 4:30am – 6:30am during AVA Toronto.\nWe will have a banner\, signs\, and leaflets to use the day of. Come with yourself and bonus if you can bring a friend! \nBy attending this and other Mercy For Animals events\, you agree to our Volunteer Terms (https://mercyforanimals.org/volunteer-terms/) and Volunteer Handbook (https://file-cdn.mercyforanimals.org/…/MFA-Volunteer…). \nIf you have any questions feel free to message me on Facebook or by email at animalsmatter@hotmail.com. \nThank you\,\nKelli Demontneay
