Do you possess a special spirit of compassion that doesn't allow you to turn away from animal suffering? Do you feel called upon to do something to help change the way animals are treated? My intent is to post events and issues of interest.  Participation can be individual or as a group, as energy and time permit.  For example, on August 22 Dr Melanie Joy spoke at the Artisan building on Del Paso Blvd about "Why we love dogs, eat pigs, and wear cows".

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 …

Stories to move you. Stories to change the world. 3. We work to inspire activists and activism. Virtuous cycles are the …
