ARCPDX Book Club - August 2024

We look forward to reading The Impactful Vegan by Robert Cheeke with you this month! Whether you're a seasoned activist or a curious newcomer, all are welcome to join the Animal Rights Collective Portland (ARCPDX) Book Club! August/September: The Impactful Vegan by Robert Cheeke Tuesday, August 27th 6-7:45pm (meeting and Zoom will begin at 6:10pm) Central Library (801 SW 10th Ave., Portland) - We will be in the meeting room. Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7654622343 Every other month, the group will vote on a new book to read that challenges norms, inspires empathy, reflects the diverse voices and perspectives within the vegan and social justice movements, and ignites conversations about animal rights, environmental sustainability, social equity, and more. In July the group voted to read The Impactful Vegan: How You Can Save More Lives and Make the Biggest Difference for Animals and the Planet by Robert Cheeke in August and September. From New York Times bestselling author Robert Cheeke comes a new way of thinking about helping animals and the environment—and making the biggest impact possible with the resources already available to you. When it comes to reducing animal suffering, many people aren’t sure where to start or which options are most beneficial. Charitable donations? Volunteer work? Dining at vegan restaurants? Meatless Monday? But the truth is that you have far more power than you think to make a real difference. Inspired by the effective altruism movement, The Impactful Vegan teaches readers how to audit their impact and follow methods that have been scrutinized, evaluated, and determined to do the best for animals. We look forward to discussing chapters 1-6 at our August 27th meeting and chapters 7-10 at our September 24th meeting. YOU DO NOT NEED TO ATTEND BOTH MEETINGS TO PARTICIPATE. In between meetings, we encourage you to chat about the books via Slack! Join the ARCPDX Slack workspace: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLScFIcsJ79m.../viewform...
