Last Wednesday of October, we will donate a portion of the evenings dinner to University of Iowa Center for Human Rights, an organization devoted to the promotion and protection of human rights at home and abroad through distinguished multidisciplinary leadership in human rights research, education, and public service to The University of Iowa, its surrounding communities, the State of Iowa, and beyond.

The UICHR is guided by the basic tenets of a free society to which The University of Iowa is committed. In fulfilling its mission, it therefore continuously revisits even the most fundamental aspects of human rights, treating human rights not as a corpus of fixed thought and action, but as a set of assumptions and choices that are open to constant rethinking because of ever-evolving ideas, conditions, and needs.

Join us between 5pm and 9pm, Wednesday, October 27th at The Red Avocado to support this local organization.

For 23 years, Gene and his staff have been fighting for farm-animal protection through rescue, education, and advocacy efforts. In recent years, his organization has played a key role in outlawing the most egregious forms of cruelty on factory farms in Florida, Arizona, and California; might Iowa be next?

Gene will be in Iowa the last week of April for a program put on by Iowa native Elizabeth Cummings. For more details about Gene’s background and the event lineup, please go to IowaFarmLife.org.
