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.

Check out the NEW DC Vegan Classifieds

I am currently working on a new DC Vegan site, DC Vegan Classifieds. A Vegan classified ad site for DC!

You could say the site is still in Beta, but it is fully functional. I am still working on ad categories and some design work. I need some people to post ads so I can see if there are any bugs. It would be greatly appreciated if I could get some DC Vegan readers to post some ads, real ads only please. If you run into a bug or have a suggestion let me know. Email me at tim@dcvegan.com

Thanks!

Tim

New Vegan Menu: Founding Farmers

Compassion Over Killing has been doing a lot of restaurant outreach, working with great restaurants around DC to get Vegan items on the menu. This month COK’s feature restaurant is Founding Farmers.

Opened in September 2008, Founding Farmers offers farm-inspired American true food and drink in a modern, casual and eco-friendly setting. From our modern farmhouse, our menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner include homemade and ’scratch-made’ traditional American classics inspired by the heartland.

Founding Farmers is located three blocks West of the White House at 1924 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. You can download their new Vegan menu here.

I have not had a chance to visit yet, but the menu looks great and I will defiantly be making a trip their soon. If you have been let us know what you think!

Get your Veggie Dog!

So apparently there are a few street vendors downtown selling Tofurky Veggie Dogs. I rarely if ever eat from one of the carts, I am not saying they are bad, just not my thing. But if you are looking for a quick and CHEAP (only a dollar, is that right?) bite and your near one go check it out and let them know your happy to see them have a Vegan option and they should think about getting more items.

What’s In Your Fridge? DC Vegan’s Amber McDonald

DC Vegan’s very own Amber McDonald is featured in an article on BrightestYoungThings.com titled “What’s In Your Fridge“.

Things you should know before we start: Amber McDonald is a DC Vegan who became so about a year and a half ago after working with the Humane Society and reading about the similarities in emotions between dogs and cows. Viewing dairy farms equivalent to puppy mills, she started gradually cutting animal products out of her diet, beginning with dairy and beef, then pork, chicken, and finishing off with fish as the last one to go. Amber has recently drafted the legislation for a resolution to declare DC Meatless Mondays, working on getting restaurants and eventually the DC public school system to eliminate meat consumption on Mondays…CONTINUE READING
