Launch of the VSDC Animal Rights Discussion and Education Group

Please join us as the Veg Society of DC launches the Animal Rights Discussion and Education Group. If you’ve been looking for a way to educate yourself on 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. The plan is for the group to meet every other month. 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. 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. We ask that you come with an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to engage with diverse opinions with curiosity and respect.
