DxE is an international grassroots network of animal rights activists who use non-violent direction action tactics to further animal rights. Their tactics include open rescue of animals from farms, protests, and community engagement. They believe in both "total animal liberation" as well as "species equality".
A group of survivors from both Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Harvey, which both occurred last fall, occupied the office of Senator Mitch McConnell on capitol hill. They wanted the senator to acknowledge that fossil fuel consumption has contributed to making tropical storms much worse over the past decade. Members of his staff were quite insistent that the protesters leave - however, they stood steadfast in their demands.
