Name: VSDC Animal Rights Discussion and Education Group

Please join the [Veg Society of DC](vsdc.org) Animal Rights Discussion and Education Group for another great discussion - our 6th session.

*Announcement!*
We are trying something NEW: meeting series! The next 2-3 meetings will relate to the series topic, but each meeting will involve unique materials and content. We hope this format gives attendees notice of what topics they can expect to discuss at upcoming meetings and allow the group to dive deeper into various subjects!

The upcoming series will be about theories of change in the animal rights movement. We will review data on the efficacy of different tactics, read pieces by thought leaders in the movement, and assess the recent successes and failures of animal rights organizations.

*What is the Animal Rights Discussion and Education Group?*
If you’ve been looking for a way to educate yourself on animal rights and issues affecting animals in our world today with the support of a like-minded community, then this group is for you. The VSDC Animal Rights Discussion and Education Group will discuss thoughts, questions, concerns, and news related to animal rights. It seeks to provide a safe space for discussions around issues affecting captive animals, farmed animals, animals used in research, wild animals, companion animals, and more.

All are welcome, from those well-versed in animal rights philosophy and issues to those who are just starting off on their journey and are curious to learn more. Please come with an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to engage with diverse opinions with curiosity and respect.

The plan is for the group to meet every month, alternating between Zoom and in person. The topic of each meeting and any accompanying materials will be planned in advance and posted in event announcements via this VSDC meetup group. Participants are encouraged to offer topic ideas and materials for discussion at subsequent meetings.

**Date / Time:** Saturday, December 6th, from 2:00 to 3:30 pm.

**Location:** Zoom (link and videoconference details to be provided to attendees who RSVP closer to meeting date)

*Email 'ARdiscuss@vsdc.org' for further information.*
