Post meetup animal action: We the Free street outreach demo

This week's presentation is on Allied Scholars for Animal Protection (ASAP), a non-profit organization seeking to provide a sustainable and effective platform for animal advocacy on college campuses. Started by Dr. Faraz Harsini, ASAP chapters seek to unite and energize existing vegans or anyone interested in animal rights. Despite the acronym, ASAP anticipates their largest impact to be long-term, as they bring awareness to animal rights to future leaders in healthcare, policymaking, business, and more. Presenting on how ASAP can supercharge animal rights progress in just one generation is Ronnie Sharangpani.

Join your fellow animal lovers and DC Animal Protection to discuss what’s happening in the animal advocacy scene in DC! This series is a weekly meetup, with guest speakers from all of the major animals rights orgs. We’ll host non-profits such as Pro-Animal Future, International Council for Animal Welfare, DC Voters for Animals, The Humane League, Mercy for Animals and Direct Action Everywhere as well as local grassroots groups like the DC Coalition Against Foie Gras and sanctuaries. We’ll also have special sessions related to health, nutrition and mindfulness!

We encourage anyone who is interested in helping animals to attend- no need to be vegan! Come learn about our rich variety of local activism. With protests, outreach, wheat-pasting, signature collecting, leafletting, lobbying, tabling etc. there’s something to match everyone’s comfort level and skill set.

Coffee, bagels and community will be provided! Feel free to bring any extra treats to share (no animal products please.) Hope to see you soon! :)

Note: Unfortunately, animals are not allowed at our venue. Please leave your furry friends at home.
