Ep 50 Vegan Meet Ups - AFA Zoom Meeting - We Take Yinz To The Pittsburgh Vegfest

Hey Pickles!We have a ton to talk about this week, so we've pushed pause on our Vegan Cookbook Challenge to make room for it all!We went to a vegan meet up in Buffalo at The Beer Keep, hosted by Donisha Gant, owner of Plantae Vegan Market 212 Grant St Buffalo! We'll fill you in on the event and the food we found at The Beer Keep. We sat in on a zoom meeting hosted by Connie Spence, founder of Agriculture Fairness Alliance. She was reporting back on her trip to DC with their lobbyists where they had meetings with lawmakers to discuss the upcoming farm bill. Connie wants us to encourage you to join their vegan voter hub. It helps get information about animal rights policy out to vegan voters. You can do that here  https://agriculturefairnessalliance.org/vegan-voter-hub/We headed south to the Pittsburgh VegFest! This was a big event with over 140 vendors. There was food, animal sanctuaries, rescue orgs, food trucks, and live local bands!It was a great event, and we want to thank everyone involved in putting it together!We had a wonderful time, and it was a beautiful day!Thank you so so so much for listening, and for supporting all we do!Here are the links Join Our Patreon!! https://www.patreon.com/CompassionandcucumbersOur Mockingbird Farms Fundraiser    https://www.buymeacoffee.com/CucumbersPlantae Vegan Market.   https://www.facebook.com/Plantaemarketbuffalo/The Beer Keep    https://www.thebeerkeep.comKindred Spirits Rescue Ranch    https://kindredspiritsrescueranch.comPigsburgh Squeelers Rescue.   https://www.pigsburghsquealers.com Compassion Co.
