Pro-Animal DC Joins VSDC for Companion Animal Challenges + Snacks Potluck
Details
Guest Speaker: Sarah Lu, Foster Program Coordinator at the Humane Rescue Alliance
Post-PAM Animal Action: Ritz Carlton cage-free protest
Sarah Lu, Foster Program Coordinator at the Humane Rescue Alliance, will join Pro-Animals DC and the Veg Society of DC to explore the overpopulation of companion animals, the impact of the economy on this issue, the challenges and controversies facing animal welfare organizations, and ways you can help a cat or dog find a better future.
We will have a special guest join us - an adoptable dog from HRA – but unfortunately, we cannot have other dogs attend.
Before and after the presentation, we will enjoy a potluck of vegan savory and sweet snacks. Please bring finger food and sweets to share. Note that there are no kitchen facilities available, so plan accordingly.
Please be sure to RSVP here! https://stampede.proanimal.org/events
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.
