What we’re about
We'd love for you to join the first ever animals-for-animals protest parade.
What it is: A family-friendly, joyful parade where pets and their owners gather to launch the "Kind to All Animals Pledge" campaign. The event is a celebration of animal love with a positive message about taking small steps to help ALL animals humans affect.
Why attend:
(1) It's fun: There will be tons of cute pets, other animal lovers, great food and drink, costumes you can dress your pet in or bring your own to compete for the $250 best dressed prize (recently increased from $100), a red carpet photo opportunity and a professional pet photographer capturing the memories
(2) It's impactful: Just by attending, you'll help launch the "Kind to All Animals Pledge", which hopes to see thousands of people take small actions to help protect millions of animals.
(3) It's free!
Agenda:
- Meet at Château le Woof in Astoria at 3pm
- We'll parade through Socrates Sculpture Park until ~4pm
- Back at Château le Woof our "Spokesdoggy" will launch the Kind to All Animals pledge
- Best dressed award ceremony + Celebrate with other animal lovers, treat yourself or your pet to a snack from the cafe (if you'd like), and get professional photos taken of your pet walking down the #PledgeKindness red carpet
- Celebrate with other animal lovers, treat yourself or your pet to a snack from the cafe (if you'd like)
Why are you running this?
At FarmKind, we love animals. We know that billions of people love animals too, and want to help them. But often, the scale of animal suffering is so overwhelming that we end up just helping the animals right in front of us: Our pets.
To help address this, we're creating a simple, accessible way for people to help ALL animals in our care (companion animals, farmed animals, lab animals and wildlife) through small but meaningful actions that make a big difference.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: The 'Attend' button on Meetup will NOT register you for this event. You can register for free on Eventbrite to secure your spot and receive event updates.
