VegDay... Hooray!

On April 6, 2010, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution encouraging city residents to eat vegetarian on Mondays. Just in time for Earth Day, The VegDay Resolution, introduced by In Defense of Animals and the San Francisco Vegetarian Society, enjoyed unanimous support. The resolution encourages residents of San Francisco to adopt a plant-based diet, and restaurants, schools and other institutions to offer veggie options on Mondays. Numerous San Francisco restaurants are participating in the day, offering discounts and specials for VegDay. How did organizers with In Defense of Animals accomplish this feat? Does this resolution stand a chance of passing in less progressive cities? How can people organize to bring VegDay to their city? Jarret's guest is Hope Bohanec, author of the resolution and Grassroots Campaigns Director for In Defense of Animals.
