About DC Vegan Drinks:

DC Vegan Drinks is a monthly offline social networking event for people interested in sharing veganism and advocating for animal rights. Our mission is to bring together people from all walks of life (lawyers, students, small business owners, etc…) to build a stronger community and promote the sharing of resources. A lot of people build these networks online but never really connect socially, this is where our shin-dig falls in. There is no requirement except for an interest in veganism, animal rights, and to have a little after-work fun.

What you need to do:

* Be friendly, even to any non-vegans that may come.
* Talk about what you do in your free time, what business or organization you work for, who makes the best vegan cookie, your blog, etc…
* Oh, most importantly, have a drink and relax with some fellow vegans.

What to bring:

* Business Cards (if you want to share).
* If you don’t have business cards–flyers or pamphlets are cool too. Please remember to keep all distributions related to animal welfare/animal rights/veganism/etc.
* Cash for tips for your friendly bartenders.

Other info: There is NO dress code, come how you feel. It’s FREE, but drinks are NOT. Bring CASH to tip your bartenders. Some of the places we visit are 21 and over so make sure you check above to see if this months is.

DC Vegan Drinks #17 – Sunday at 6:30

This Sunday, join us from 6:30pm -9:00pm at Bread & Brew, for a special edition of Vegan Drinks. Bread & Brew has kindly agreed to open just for us and to show the Miss USA competition on its TVs so that we can root fellow vegan Miss DC, MacKenzie Green, on to victory!

MacKenzie isn’t your typical beauty queen. In fact, the Miss DC pageant was her very first time in a pageant. Prior to becoming Miss DC, MacKenzie competed at least a dozen times in the Junior Olympics, was featured in Swimming World, and ran a marathon.

“Everyone wanted to know what would be the next thing I did,” said MacKenzie in a recent interview. “The next thing we know, I’m Miss DC and headed to Vegas.”

In the quest to become Miss DC, MacKenzie also became a vegan. Inspired by Alicia Silverstone’s book, The Kind Life, MacKenzie says she “dove head first in to the vegan pool….for the first time in a long time I felt comfortable and beautiful in my own skin.”

MacKenzie has made childhood nutrition her platform and, as part of this, wrote an open letter in support of city-wide meat-free Mondays. MacKenzie’s support was surely influential in the City Council’s recent passage of the ceremonial resolution declaring Mondays “meat free” in the District.

P.S. Cheers for Miss NY USA, Davina Reeves, who is another vegan!
