The incident was captured in video footage, viewed by KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenberg’s attorneys, Carraway and Kevin Little, tried to posit that her actions came after efforts to report mistreatment at Petaluma Poultry to local authorities, and that she did not have criminal intent when she took the chickens off the property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the jury disagreed, finding her guilty on all counts Wednesday, including felony conspiracy, as well as the two misdemeanors for trespassing on various occasions and a third for tampering with a vehicle or its contents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision could have reverberating effects throughout the country, as DxE has escalated such missions — \u003ca href=\"https://www.motherjones.com/food/2017/11/inside-the-bold-new-animal-liberation-movement-no-masks-no-regrets-all-the-risk/\">referred to as “open rescues\u003c/a>” — in recent years.[aside postID=news_12055745 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/Sonoma-Animal-Trial-02-KQED.jpg']Animal activists have said they’re taking animals from farms where they believe they’re suffering, and at least two juries in recent related cases seemed to agree. Activists in Utah and Merced County were cleared of wrongdoing following similar actions, though a Sonoma County court found DxE co-founder Wayne Hsiung guilty of felony conspiracy in 2023 for actions he took during Sonoma County farm protests in 2018 and 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked on the stand last week if she wants open rescue “to be something that happens everywhere,” Rosenberg told prosecutors: “Yes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenberg’s defense team is expected to appeal, creating the opportunity to set a legal precedent for the practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County farmers have called DxE “extremist,” and condemned the use of open rescue as dangerous and unlawful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having to deal with a bunch of activists that are trying to break into your operation, are putting tracking devices on farm vehicles so they can see where the farm vehicles are — that goes beyond the line,” said Mike Weber, who co-owns a chicken farm in Petaluma targeted by DxE in 2018. “That has nothing to do with animal welfare. I’d like to see that come to an end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenberg’s lawyers had also tried to downplay her involvement in the incident, relying on \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/2025/10/16/former-dxe-member-says-she-alone-led-petaluma-poultry-break-ins-tied-to-zoe-rosenberg-case/\">testimony from former DxE activist, Raven Deerbrook\u003c/a>, who was Rosenberg’s co-defendant before reaching a plea deal over the summer. Deerbrook told the jury that she had been investigating conditions and Petaluma Poultry prior to Rosenberg’s involvement, and spearheaded the series of break-ins that led to the chicken capture, the \u003cem>Press Democrat \u003c/em>reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deerbrook testified that she placed the GPS trackers, used bolt cutters to get through a fence and brought the buckets used to transport the chickens. She pled no contest to two misdemeanor charges in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But prosecutors have pointed to a long history of similar activism by Rosenberg. Deputy District Attorney Matt Hobson showed the jury photos of her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/ClEiueZApk0/\">pouring fake blood on the floor of a Safeway\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/COs_vLPpnsh/\">posing in red-hued water in a fountain at UC Berkeley\u003c/a>, holding a sign that said “UC Berkeley drop factory farms,” the \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/2025/10/23/from-nba-arrest-to-bloody-fountain-prosecutors-challenge-zoe-rosenbergs-role-in-petaluma-poultry-raid/\">\u003cem>Press Democrat \u003c/em>reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenberg was also previously arrested following a \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/DxEverywhere/status/1515434238295695363/photo/1\">2022 NBA playoff game\u003c/a>, where she chained herself to a basketball hoop in protest of former Minnesota Timberwolves’ owner Glen Taylor.

Supervisor Betty Duong noted that since 2010, the Labor Commissioner’s Office has issued over $35 million in unpaid wage theft judgments in the county alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Wage theft isn’t a victimless crime. It’s the theft of rent money, grocery money and child care money,” Duong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failure to collect disproportionately impacts vulnerable groups. According to Wahab, workers in industries like construction — many of whom are immigrants and English language learners — are highly susceptible to wage theft and rarely see payments after winning their claims. Collection statistics underscore this crisis: a 2023 California State Auditor \u003ca href=\"https://www.auditor.ca.gov/reports/2023-104/\">report\u003c/a> found that the Labor Commission only fully collected on 12% of judgments between 2018 and 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some days at the Law Center’s clinic and on the advice line, I will get five or six clients coming in, or callers calling, that have not got wage theft judgment paid for years and years,” Taube said. “And it’s a huge problem, and it’s heartbreaking to hear their stories because they’ve actually done the work, went through a hearing, and a judgment was recorded.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County’s own programs served as a model for SB 261. The county’s Food Permit Enforcement Program \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11958124/santa-clara-county-pushes-food-businesses-to-pay-worker-wages-or-lose-permits\">leverages health permits\u003c/a> to compel food retailers with unpaid wage judgments to comply, or risk losing their authorization to operate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duong confirmed that the county’s permits are contingent on following all applicable workplace laws, meaning that employers with unpaid judgments should now expect issues with permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2019, this program has helped collect more than $110,000 for workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, LoPresti said the state can ensure that justice for workers no longer “ends with a piece of paper. It ends with a paycheck”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Supervisor Betty Duong noted that since 2010, the Labor Commissioner’s Office has issued over $35 million in unpaid wage theft judgments in the county alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Wage theft isn’t a victimless crime. It’s the theft of rent money, grocery money and child care money,” Duong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failure to collect disproportionately impacts vulnerable groups. According to Wahab, workers in industries like construction — many of whom are immigrants and English language learners — are highly susceptible to wage theft and rarely see payments after winning their claims. Collection statistics underscore this crisis: a 2023 California State Auditor \u003ca href=\"https://www.auditor.ca.gov/reports/2023-104/\">report\u003c/a> found that the Labor Commission only fully collected on 12% of judgments between 2018 and 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some days at the Law Center’s clinic and on the advice line, I will get five or six clients coming in, or callers calling, that have not got wage theft judgment paid for years and years,” Taube said. “And it’s a huge problem, and it’s heartbreaking to hear their stories because they’ve actually done the work, went through a hearing, and a judgment was recorded.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County’s own programs served as a model for SB 261. The county’s Food Permit Enforcement Program \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11958124/santa-clara-county-pushes-food-businesses-to-pay-worker-wages-or-lose-permits\">leverages health permits\u003c/a> to compel food retailers with unpaid wage judgments to comply, or risk losing their authorization to operate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duong confirmed that the county’s permits are contingent on following all applicable workplace laws, meaning that employers with unpaid judgments should now expect issues with permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2019, this program has helped collect more than $110,000 for workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, LoPresti said the state can ensure that justice for workers no longer “ends with a piece of paper. It ends with a paycheck”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Across the Bay Area, that work continues year-round, led by people who believe healing and accountability can exist outside punishment and shame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey from 2016 and 2017, 53.6% of Black women and 57.6% of Black men in the state reported experiencing some form of violence or stalking by an intimate partner. The actual number may be much higher due to underreporting, organizers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When survivors feel unsafe reaching out to law enforcement or social workers, it often means choosing between the “lesser of two evils,” Brooks, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/tag/cat-brooks\">prominent \u003c/a>community \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/cat-brooks\">activist\u003c/a> who was 18 at the time of her marriage, said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stories are repeatedly the same,” she said.

I don’t call the police, because I don’t want to lose my children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know we can’t rely on police or prisons to keep us safe,” Brooks continued, adding that most of the survivors she’s spoken with are just looking for ways to stop the violence.[aside postID=news_12053210 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/IMG_1137-2000x1500.jpg']Paméla Michelle Tate, executive director of the San Francisco nonprofit Black Women Revolt Against Domestic Violence, said many clients hesitate to share their experiences because their mistrust of the system is greater than their fear of the abuser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Survivors fear that reporting partners or family members to police or social services could lead to their own arrest, Tate said, with some risking criminalization by the very systems meant to help them. They may also be concerned about what law enforcement could do to their partner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation becomes more complicated when survivors rely on their abusers for financial support or when children are involved, she noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lois Corrin was 36 and heavily pregnant with her daughter when her husband abandoned her. After going into preterm labor and enduring a difficult birth, she was bedridden for months in their Piedmont home, barely able to fend for herself. Her family and friends lived across the country, and she stayed silent, hoping her marriage would survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When her husband returned, the situation worsened. The house where Corrin was raising her daughter was in shambles — mold grew on the walls, the roof leaked — and he refused to help while she cared for their child. She had nowhere else to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now 71, Corrin said it took her a long time to realize her husband’s behavior was abusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12053782\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12053782 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Many clients hesitate to share their experiences because their mistrust of the system is greater than their fear of the abuser. \u003ccite>(Jacob Wackerhausen/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I made a decision not to make it public because I was hoping that the relationship could continue and go back to what it originally was,” she said. “That’s not what happened. I just kept it to myself, and eventually people realized he wasn’t there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was financial abuse, Corrin said, but she didn’t know whom she could trust without risking herself or her child. Economic abuse is a form of domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditional social service providers are mandated reporters, legally obligated to report any child endangerment, Tate said. If a survivor reports domestic violence and children were present to witness the abuse, there’s a chance the children could be removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of taking the risk, some survivors would choose to stay silent, hoping the abuse would stop or the person causing harm would leave, she said. Fear of social ostracization and judgment from the community also discourages survivors from seeking help, Tate said. Although awareness of domestic violence has grown, pressure remains for those living through abuse to keep their experiences quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Tate, some survivors are discouraged from sharing what is considered a personal matter with neighbors and family outside the home, adhering to a “no snitch rule,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tunisia Owens, a policy expert and organizer in Oakland, said it can be difficult for survivors to speak out if they feel their community won’t support them. She pointed to church leaders who encourage women to submit to their husbands or reject divorce, which can isolate survivors. Owens also noted that Black men experiencing domestic violence often stay silent out of fear and shame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are oftentimes reluctant to get out of relationships that are abusive or violent because they have been conditioned to believe that you have to stay till death do us part,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An alternative approach\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, several nonprofit organizations are offering survivors non-carceral alternatives to address domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colzaria Henderson, executive director of the San José-based nonprofit Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, said the organization operates entirely outside of “the system.” Next Door Solutions does not provide information to law enforcement or child welfare agencies, and its staff are not mandated reporters, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Next Door Solutions is an option for folks that do not want to call law enforcement,” Henderson said. “Most of the survivors we serve are in Black and brown communities, communities of color.

Teaching young people to process emotions through open communication and healing is key to stopping cycles of violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The importance of modeling appropriate behaviors and conflict resolution and healthy relationships for young people is so that they can replicate that and spread the word,” she said. “There are things that we have to normalize like consent, having conversations, asking for permission, seeing each other as equals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan Thierry, a filmmaker and consultant for the Alliance for Boys and Men of Color, said entrenched patriarchal norms can also perpetuate violence in Black communities and homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of the messaging [young Black men and boys] are being fed is that you have to subjugate others,” Thierry said. “We’re really trying to broaden their perspective and their notion of what it means to be a man.

You have nothing to be ashamed of. The mandate is that you get help for yourself, that you interrupt the cycle of violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of addressing the issue of domestic violence in Black communities and families, Thierry said, involves understanding the historical context and the specific traumas and systemic barriers that Black men, boys and women have faced — and continue to navigate today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the last few generations of my family, there has been state violence, the violence of poverty,” he said. “Whenever we’re talking about intimate partner violence that is happening in Black communities, it’s important to acknowledge the historic role that our systems have had in perpetrating harm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Moving forward\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While the domestic violence charges against Brooks were eventually dropped, the trauma and shame lingered for years.

In 2010, she co-founded the Anti Police-Terror Project to address police violence in Black communities.

After going into preterm labor and enduring a difficult birth, she was bedridden for months in their Piedmont home, barely able to fend for herself. Her family and friends lived across the country, and she stayed silent, hoping her marriage would survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When her husband returned, the situation worsened. The house where Corrin was raising her daughter was in shambles — mold grew on the walls, the roof leaked — and he refused to help while she cared for their child.

Economic abuse is a form of domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditional social service providers are mandated reporters, legally obligated to report any child endangerment, Tate said. If a survivor reports domestic violence and children were present to witness the abuse, there’s a chance the children could be removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of taking the risk, some survivors would choose to stay silent, hoping the abuse would stop or the person causing harm would leave, she said. Fear of social ostracization and judgment from the community also discourages survivors from seeking help, Tate said. Although awareness of domestic violence has grown, pressure remains for those living through abuse to keep their experiences quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Tate, some survivors are discouraged from sharing what is considered a personal matter with neighbors and family outside the home, adhering to a “no snitch rule,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tunisia Owens, a policy expert and organizer in Oakland, said it can be difficult for survivors to speak out if they feel their community won’t support them. She pointed to church leaders who encourage women to submit to their husbands or reject divorce, which can isolate survivors. Owens also noted that Black men experiencing domestic violence often stay silent out of fear and shame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are oftentimes reluctant to get out of relationships that are abusive or violent because they have been conditioned to believe that you have to stay till death do us part,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An alternative approach\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, several nonprofit organizations are offering survivors non-carceral alternatives to address domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colzaria Henderson, executive director of the San José-based nonprofit Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, said the organization operates entirely outside of “the system.” Next Door Solutions does not provide information to law enforcement or child welfare agencies, and its staff are not mandated reporters, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Next Door Solutions is an option for folks that do not want to call law enforcement,” Henderson said. “Most of the survivors we serve are in Black and brown communities, communities of color.
