 ord**\n\nJoin us in the middle of January for Animal Rebellion Boston's ne
 xt meeting. We officially launched our affinity group in November and are 
 looking to expand our members and come up with plans for taking direct act
 ion! Come and meet like-minded folks who believe that a plant-based future
  is key to a livable future. We will have some food catered but would enco
 urage you to make a small dish to share with others.\n\nWe will also be do
 ing a check-in for folks trying out the Veganuary challenge - that is folk
 s refraining from eating animal products as an experiment for January. We 
 need system change but small acts like these can be a catalyst for broader
  social and political transformation.\n\n---\n\nThe climate crisis is here
 \, it’s happening\, and we need to act now. We know the key solution is 
 a transition to a plant-based food system - we have no choice but to do ev
 erything in our power to make this happen. For climate justice and animal 
 justice\, let’s come together\, use our collective power and change ever
 ything.\n\nFrom Our World in Data:\n\n"Half of the world’s habitable lan
 d is used for agriculture\, with most of this used to raise livestock for 
 dairy and meat. Livestock are fed from two sources – lands on which the 
 animals graze and land on which feeding crops\, such as soy and cereals\, 
 are grown. How much would our agricultural land use decline if the world a
 dopted a plant-based diet?\n\nResearch suggests that if everyone shifted t
 o a plant-based diet we would reduce global land use for agriculture by 75
 %. This large reduction of agricultural land use would be possible thanks 
 to a reduction in land used for grazing and a smaller need for land to gro
 w crops. The research also shows that cutting out beef and dairy (by subst
 ituting chicken\, eggs\, fish or plant-based food) has a much larger impac
 t than eliminating chicken or fish." ^1\n\n**COVID testing is required bef
 ore participating early\, if you need a test\, come early wearing a mask a
 nd we will provide a 15-minute rapid antigen test**\n\n1. https://ourworld
