Please join Paul Shapiro of the Humane Society of the United States to learn about how you can help farm animals! This exciting event will kick-off our eighth annual Veg Week.

Want to be inspired, amused, entertained, saddened, and did we say inspired? This is the workshop for you! Hear from one of the nation’s most seasoned farm animal advocates on why these animals’ plight is so dire, the truly amazing work that’s being done to help them, and how YOU can get involved and take action for the too-often forgotten and terribly abused billions of animals who suffer in the meat, egg, and dairy industries.

We need volunteers to help get the word out and staff the event, too!
