ABQ~VEGAN

Greetings Fellow Vegans!
Animal Advocates ABQ is meeting at Bangkok Vegan to plan for the Monday November 16, 2026 Albuquerque City Council Meeting at 6pm. The goal is to line up people who are interested in giving a short one or two minute message to the city council to vote YES on bill O-26-62 to ban the sale and use of glue traps in Albuquerque.

If you are not interested in talking to the city council that is okay you are still welcome to join us for dinner. After bill O-26-62 is passed we will be planning other animal activism events.

Hope you can join us at Bangkok Vegan.

Let's enjoy a short Friday the 13th sunset hike with vegans! From the trailhead at the east end of Copper Ave NE we'll take trail 400 east to trail 375 and 365 to a couple of overlooks, and then return the way we came.

This is a short but moderately difficult hike. Roughly 2.5 miles with some hills and rocky, uneven sections. Please be prepared with at least a moderate level of physical conditioning before deciding to attend. Bring a flashlight and water.

Park on Copper Ave. Don't park on the side streets unless you happen to live there and have the appropriate parking permit. Please leave some extra time for parking and prep to help us hit the trail at 4:30 sharp

There are no restroom facilities at the trailhead.

You might also consider our 6 PM dinner at Vegos to be followed with an optional astronomical viewing adventure at the UNM Observatory. See separate event listing.

In case you bring along any snacks for yourself, please respect all participants of this ABQ Vegan event by ensuring that they are completely vegan (no meat, no dairy, no eggs, and no honey).

Let's enjoy a Friday the 13th dinner at VEGOS with vegans! Order and pay at the counter; no need to worry about splitting the check.

After dinner if anyone is interested we can head over for an optional astronomical viewing event at the UNM Observatory. The observatory invites the public to view heavenly bodies with their 14" Celestron Edge HD telescope, accessible only via a staircase, until 9 PM on selected Friday nights, subject to weather. On Yale Blvd. NE, 2 blocks north of Lomas
Stucco building with white dome. Some knowledgeable and friendly telescope owners will also be set up in the parking lot to let interested people take a look through their scopes.
