SUMMARY:Conference - 5/11/26 to 5/13/26 - The Gathering 2026 - CARE (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:The Gathering is CARE’s annual multi-day conference bringing together community members\, practitioners\, researchers\, advocates\, and organizers working at the intersection of Human and Animal Well-being. \nAcross three days\, The Gathering creates space to examine how the Animal Welfare and Animal Protection fields have caused harm through exclusion\, bias\, and inequitable practices — and to collectively build pathways toward reform that honor both people and animals. \nGrounded in CARE’s core pillars — Intention\, Mobilization\, Peace\, Education\, Acknowledgment\, Compassion\, and Heart — this conference centers BIPOC leadership\, lived experience\, and community-based knowledge. Sessions move beyond theory to focus on practical tools\, shared learning\, and relationship-building that participants can bring back to their communities and institutions. \nThe Gathering is designed for those who understand that animal welfare cannot be separated from human well-being\, environmental justice\, and systemic equity. Programming will reflect CARE’s four divisions: \n\nResearch & Development\nNarrative & Truth Telling\nCommunity Animal CARE\nEnvironmental Justice & Policy\n\nThis is not a traditional conference. It is a space for honest dialogue\, accountability\, healing\, and action — built with accessibility\, care\, and community at the center. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/companionsandanimalsforreformandequity/event/thegathering4/
