Pro-Animal Meetup

Have you ever struggled to communicate the moral urgency of the plight of non-human animals, only to find that your pleas seem to fall on deaf ears? George Cooper will give you the psychological insights you need for effective persuasion on this or any other issue. George is the founder of the new Washington, DC chapter of We the Free, a vegan street outreach organization that will empower you to take these insights to the streets to create a better world for all of us, no matter our species.

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 fury friends at home.
