At this fun-spirited, changemaking event, we will:

• 🐷 Continue planning our St. Louis Veganuary Challenge

• ✨ Enjoy a showing of the newly released Wicked: For Good

• 🐐 Discuss the film and its animal rights themes afterward

Wicked: For Good is creating a true cultural moment around veganism. Not only are the two leads, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, vegan, but the film explores animal imprisonment, oppression, and liberation and has inspired at least one cast member, Jeff Goldblum, to go vegetarian.

Here is our schedule for the evening:

• 🕕 6:30-7:30 p.m.: Veganuary planning meeting

• 🕖 7:30-10 p.m.: Wicked: For Good showing

• 🕙 10-10:30 p.m.: film discussion/hangout

Don’t miss this special opportunity to spend quality time with local vegans by planning our vegan takeover, enjoying the latest blockbuster, and delving into pop culture and animal rights philosophy!

📝 Note: This screening coincides with International Animal Rights Day, is family-friendly, and will take place in Auditorium 9.

Whether you come for an hour or stay the whole night, don’t miss out!

✊👖🐮 Join us as we urge Levi’s to ditch leather and make fully vegan jeans!

Why?

• 1️⃣ Leather is horrendously cruel and environmentally destructive.

• 2️⃣ Leather is a profitable byproduct that sustains the meat industry.

• 3️⃣ Levi’s already uses vegan patches on some of their products.

Through this small, targeted ask, we can help eliminate animal leather from Levi’s supply chain, ensuring their jeans, belts, wallets, and other items are entirely vegan moving forward. Our demand? Use durable, sustainable, ethical vegan leather instead!

By inspiring Levi’s to divest from animal leather, we have the power to not only veganize the denim giant, but also set a new standard in the fashion industry that other suppliers can follow, triggering a ripple effect of change.

Pressure campaigns like this are highly winnable, generating wins that seem small but when multiplied by millions of products become massive. Millions fewer animals will be exploited and killed if this campaign and others like it succeed.

Better yet, PETA has been running this campaign for several years now, getting us close to the finish line.

Help push this campaign over the edge by sending a clear, unmistakable message that cruelty-free fashion is the future!

🥫🌱🍽️ Join local vegan restaurants and community organizations as we fight to combat hunger in our St. Louis community!

Why? Nearly 1 in 7 Americans live in food insecure households, and roughly 1 in 8 Americans depend on food stamps to meet their needs.

During this unprecedented time, we need to rally together and support those in need. Here is what you can do to help:

• 1️⃣ bring donations of shelf-stable foods to Seedz Cafe, Bombay Food Junkies, and other participating partners throughout the month

• 2️⃣ bring canned foods, dry staples, and bottled drinks to our Vegan Thanksgiving Feast on Monday, November 24th

• 3️⃣ donate to other food drives, food pantries, and other anti-hunger initiatives

• 4️⃣ spread the word by encouraging your friends and family members to support this and other food drives

Participating restaurants and organizations include:

• 🥪 Seedz Cafe

• 🍛 Bombay Food Junkies

• 🐷 Project Animal Freedom

On Wednesday, November 24th, we will assemble donations at our Vegan Thanksgiving Feast and then distribute it to those in need.

Remember to:

• ✅ mark “going” if you would like to participate in our vegan food drive

• ✅ bring donations to Seedz Cafe and Bombay Food Junkies during regular business hours

• ✅ and join us at our Vegan Thanksgiving Feast for our food drive finale

We are still finalizing details, but we will do our best to ensure as much of the food assembled as possible reaches local vegans and vegan families in need. Whatever cannot be distributed in this manner will be delivered to one or more area food banks.

This holiday season, please take action to address the compound food crises our world faces, from animals suffering in factory farms to children going hungry due to unjust food distribution.

✊🌎⚖️ Join us as we march to the Arch for climate justice, animal rights, and a livable future for all life on Earth!

Why? We deserve a world free from the environmental devastation caused by animal agriculture!

Through this worldwide day of action, we will:

• ✔️ expose animal ag’s insidious role in the present ecological crisis

• ✔️ champion veganism as an environmental imperative

• ✔️ demand a plant-based, veganic food system

Animal agriculture accounts for more greenhouse gas emissions than every mode of transportation on Earth combined. We therefore cannot achieve climate justice without addressing the cow in the room.

In recognition of this fact, we call upon governments, businesses, and everyday citizens to:

• 1️⃣ embrace veganism

• 2️⃣ end subsidies to animal ag

• 3️⃣ endorse the Plant Based Treaty

We have a handful of years to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. Join the Vegan Climate March movement today—before it’s too late!
