Variety is the spice of life, says the old adage. I think veg*ns can do a lot of different things as veg*ns, besides just eating together. I do like trying good restaurants, and I do like potlucks, but that's not all there is to life. Veg*ns need to find friends with whom they share other interests, besides a similar diet. In my life, music, dancing, movies, art, theatre, games, literature, dogs, nature, travel, museums, and animal welfare all contribute to my sense of identity, and my feeling t …

Azaya Ranch Sanctuary is a non-profit animal rescue and sanctuary in the San Francisco Bay Area, California.

Our animals come from shelters from all over California, including Bakersfield, Lake County, Ukiah, and, of course, San Francisco. Many of the animals we rescue have been abused, neglected, an …

Happy New Year! I remember you all from the original group that began in Pacifica. My members and meetups were so limited there.  But we had fun while it lasted! I have since moved to downtown San Mateo, and am reviving this group! Let's go drink and chat! I have a few new members that I am extremely excited about.  And even a new fellow organizer!  Coming soon! "San Francisco is a very vegetarian friendly city, and we are so lucky for that! However, on the outskirts of the city, in towns such …

We want to jolt the animal rights movement with activism that is smart, stylish, social-media savvy, and not afraid to shoot for the moon. What's different about us? 1. We dream big. There's an illusion of stability in every system. But find the right pressure point, and the house of cards will fall. 2. We use stories and emotions. We tell stories from the animals’ perspective. Stories to move you. Stories to change the world. 3. We work to inspire activists and activism. Virtuous cycles are the …
