Introduction

Animals have always made me happy, and a few years ago, I decided I needed to do a bit more to pay them back for that. I switched from vegetarian (which I'd been since the age of 15) to vegan, and I joined FVA. This group rocks.

What type of activism do you enjoy? (i.e. leafletting, tabling, hosting film screenings, letter writing, restaurant outreach, etc...)

Tabling, and "soft" activism, like bake sales. I serve on FVA's PR committee; we promote events such as the annual Tampa Bay Veg Fest, which is held every October.

Why do you want to help animals?

They need and deserve our support. They give so much to humans, and unfortunately, what they receive back is not always kind or positive. Like being tortured, slaughtered, and eaten, f'rinstance.

When do you have availability so that other members can reach you to pair up to do activism?

I compulsively check my e-mail day and night, so that's the best way to reach me. I'm available for volunteering on weeknights and weekends.

"VP is a great forum for veg*ns to meet and bounce ideas off each other, discuss veg-related issues, talk about the weather, whatever. I'm honored to be a founding member and moderator and encourage everyone to check it out."

Hi Lisa, Love your prompt comments. You seem to be a real active activist and greyhound connected.
Come on over to Sarasota, we do some interesting demos too regarding foie gras. And we got nice
restaurants that feed yummy vegan dishes. Always open ears for your opinions.
