VSDC+Jewish Vegan Life+FARM: World Vegan Day: 50 Years of Advocacy: What's Next?

🌱 WORLD VEGAN DAY: 50 YEARS OF ADVOCACY. WHAT'S NEXT?

How far has the vegan movement come, what have we learned, and what will it take to create a kinder world for animals?

Join Jewish Vegan Life’s DC Tikkun Circle, VSDC and FARM for a special World Vegan Day dinner featuring Dr. Alex Hershaft, founder of the Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM).

A Holocaust survivor and pioneering animal advocate, Dr. Hershaft will share lessons from decades of activism and challenge us to rethink our approach to animal advocacy. We'll explore progress in plant-based food innovation, public awareness, advocacy, and policy, and discuss where the movement should go next. Enjoy a vegan meal, connect with a compassionate community, and take part in a conversation about creating a better future for animals.

Presented by Jewish Vegan Life, the Veg Society of DC, and FARM. Register now and be part of the conversation!

*To receive the exact location of the get-together, please register on Jewish Vegan Life's website at* [https://jewishveganlife.org/events/dc-world-vegan-day](https://jewishveganlife.org/events/dc-world-vegan-day)*.* Registration is free. Guests purchase their own meal.
