Three things for November 20
1. Vegan customer sues Burger King
Phillip Williams filed a lawsuit against the national burger joint after ordering the Impossible Whopper at a location in Atlanta.
Williams discovered the plant-based burger was cooked on the same grill as all of the other meat patties, meaning his burger contained meat byproduct.
In the lawsuit, Williams claims that no vegan would purchase this product knowing it was “contaminated” by meat products.
2. Indiana teachers walk on state capitol
More than 147 school districts in Indiana closed in recognition of Red for Ed Action Day.
This march was intended to stand up and fight for more resources for educators and students statewide.
Congressmen Andre Carson tweeted about his experience in Indiana schools and his understanding of the state asking teachers to obtain impossible goals with the little they are given.
3. U.S. Senate passes bill to protect Hong Kong protestors against police violence
The Senate passed two bills that aid the protestors in Hong Kong who have been handled with aggression: S.1838 supports human rights and democracy for the people and S. 2710 prohibits the exportation of certain munitions to Hong Kong Police Force.
These bills were passed unanimously by the senate as they all strive to tackle the same goal to keep Hong Kong police from handling protestors with extreme violence.
Senator Ted Cruz made a statement promoting the new bills while also comparing Hong Kong as "the new Berlin.”
