Attend Public Hearings
These are effective arenas for debating the merits of a slaughterhouse. Watch for postings of place and time (click Meetings & Events).

Sign Petitions
When those who want to build a slaughterhouse in Ukiah apply for a permit, it will be critical to get fellow Ukiahans to sign petitions to stop a permit from being issued.

                             **Make a Contribution to C.A.U.S.**
You can make a contribution to our non-profit organization by making a deposit to our C.A.U.S. account (#268171) at the Redwood Credit Union (195 So. Orchard Ave., Ukiah). We need your help to offset the costs of printing brochures, flyers, fact sheets; renting space for meetings as needed; and to accumulate a "war chest" in case litigation is necessary to stop a slaughterhouse from being built. Funds not used will be given to local Ukiah charities. Thank you so much.

HELP KEEP OUR UKIAH COMMUNITY STRONG AND FREE OF A SLAUGHTERHOUSE!
