EXPLORING THE LIBERATION PLEDGE
Details
READ TO THE END FOR IMPORTANT DETAILS
The original Liberation Pledge is:
"Pledge to live vegan, and refuse to sit where animals' bodies are being eaten."
I don't know about you, but for the longest time it didn't occur to me that this was even an option! Earlier this month, we briefly reviewed some of our options in our "5 Tips for Dining with Non-Vegans" meetup. This time, we're diving deeper into just one - The Liberation Pledge.
In preparation, visit The Liberation Pledge website. The pledge has been revised and updated in interesting ways that take into account the tension between our need to be authentic and our need to connect with loved ones.
We look forward to seeing you!
NOTES FROM YOUR HOSTS
We host these monthly, virtual meetups to support vegans and veg-interested people. While this is not therapy, we both have professional backgrounds in mental health. We apply our expertise to help build a community where we can delve into difficult topics with compassion and trust. We believe this is foundational to a healthy life and vegan advocacy. Our offerings are free to you but not to us. There are costs associated with doing what we do (two websites, tables, zoom, meetup, time, continuing education, etc). If you find value in what we give and are in a position to pitch in, please visit https://pauwproject.com/ and click "Donate". Every little bit helps. To learn a bit more about us, link here.
Cameras on please!
Are you part of another vegan group? Invite us to speak at your next gathering! Complete this form and we'll get in touch to make arrangements.

*** THIS IS AN ON-LINE EVENT. THE ZOOM LINK WILL BE EMAILED TO YOU SEVERAL TIMES. IF YOU CAN'T FIND IT, PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER. THE LINK WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED HERE. KEEP CAMERAS ON, PLEASE. THE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT ALREADY POSES A OBSTACLE TO GENUINE CONNECTION. LET'S NOT MAKE IT HARDER.
IF YOU RSVP "YES" BUT CAN'T MAKE IT, PLEASE CHANGE YOUR RSVP STATUS. WE ARE CAPPING ATTENDANCE AT 12 WHICH WILL RESULT IN A WAITING LIST. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE THAT PERSON WHO DOESN'T SHOW AND KEEPS SOMEONE ELSE OUT? NAHHH. YOU'RE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT. ALSO, WE DO A LITTLE DANCE OF JOY WHENEVER SOMEONE TAKES THE TIME TO CHANGE THEIR RSVP. SO, THANKS FOR THAT! ***
