Thank you for adding your voice to our campaign urging Roark Capital to create meaningful change for millions of chickens! As the major shareholder in multiple major restaurant chains, Roark has the power to to ensuring that all its chicken-serving investees have effective animal welfare standards. Please take these few quick actions to make it clear that it’s time for action on this important issue! 1) Comment on Santa Barbara County’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/countyofsb Santa Barbara County Employees’ Retirement System invests in Roark Capital Group. Use one of the examples below or write your own and comment on the latest post. Option #1: Did you know Roark Capital Group, a company Santa Barbara County Employees’ Retirement System invests in, is involved in an animal cruelty scandal? Roark has failed to ensure that the companies it invests in have publicly committed to meaningful animal welfare standards. Please urge Roark Capital to address this issue, or reconsider your investment with them. https://www.change.org/p/roark-capital-group-roark-do-the-right-thing-for-animals Option #2: I hope the Santa Barbara County Employees’ Retirement System reconsiders investing in Roark Capital Group. Roark invests in companies that allow egregious animal abuse to go unchecked in their supply chains. By not investing in Roark, Santa Barbara County can send a strong message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated. 2) Call Sagar Gandhi, one of Roark’s VP Investment Professionals Call: (404) 835-5627, please leave a message if no one answers. Say something like: Option #1: It’s unacceptable that Roark Capital Group has failed to ensure that all the restaurant chains it invests in have publicly committed to meaningful animal welfare standards. Please do the right thing and demand better from the companies you invest in. Animal cruelty should never be tolerated! Option #2: As the major shareholder for Arby’s, Corner Bakery, and CKE, Roark Capital has the opportunity to instigate major improvements in their supply chains. I hope you'll be a leader for animals by urging the companies you invest in to adopt a meaningful chicken welfare policy like the one Focus Brands has already committed to. Thank you for helping me create change for animals! -Ellie
