Welcome to The Hen Report. This is Jasmine Singer. This is Mary Ann Sullivan. And we are so excited about the Hen Report today. And we're going to get to our guest in just a second, who I know you're going to want to hear from. Just a reminder about the Our Henhouse podcast.

Rising Anxieties comes out on Tuesdays, and we have lots of those.

There's lots of anxieties rising around us lately.

The Hen Report, which is this, on Thursdays and the long-form interview on Friday's.

Bonus content for flock members comes out on Mondays. Don't forget to

listen, subscribe wherever you check out podcasts. We're also on YouTube. So hit like, hit comment.

I always say hit comments. I have to stop saying hit comment. Don't hit the comment.

Yeah, you do. Make a comment. Leave a comment. Just comment.

Just comment.

All right.

It helps with the algorithms.

All right.

So we have a really fabulous wingman joining us for the hand report this week.

And you've probably heard of Ava, the Animal and Vegan Advocacy Summit, which is coming up soon in Toronto. And we thought

folks would like to hear more about it, especially as it's before it happens in case you're

planning on going. So today we're having Julia Reinelt, who is the executive director of Ava

International, which is an organization that's not only putting on the summit,

but really creating a variety of in-person platforms around the world for animal and vegan advocates.

So welcome to our henhouse, Julia.

Thank you so much for joining us.

Yeah, I'm so excited. Thank you for having me.

Hi, everyone.
