Hey People!
I was thinking it might be sweet to have local vegan of color meet ups. If you’d be interested, leave a comment here so that I can gauge interest. Then, if there’s enough of a response, I’ll start an email list to try to get stuff figured out!
I’m interested! I live in NYC, but come the fall I’m relocating to Bristol, England (& I am particularly interested in meeting any vegans of color there, as there is apparently a large & thriving vegan social network in Bristol, but am apprehensive about unacknowledged vegan white privilege, especially in a city so much whiter than I’m used to).
I live in Portland, OR where there are a lot of vegans but not so many brown people… at least none that I know.
oh my, awesome idea!
I’m not sure where the vegan POC are in Indianapolis, but I would be interested in meeting up with people in/around Chicago and the midwest in general.
I’d definitely be interested in a vegan of colour meetup. (I live near NYC)
I’m up for a meetup in the NY. I live in the Hudson Valley.
Count me in. I’m in NJ and can meet there, in NYC, and Philly.
Meep, I was just in Portland for a few days and loved it, especially all the food! It kicked San Francisco’s ass (lotsa local meat stuff going on there). If I could afford to attend a meetup there, I’d be all over it.
I’m up for it. I live in Westchester but will travel miles for vegan food and social time!
I would be interested, too…but doubt there are a lot of Seoul residents reading this. In case there are any, I’ll just mention that I became aware of the Seoul Vegetarian Club recently. (www.seoulveggieclub.wordpress.com)
I would LOVE to be an ally in your group if you would have me. I am a queer Jew but white…so, if you all would consider having allies sometimes…I am a big fan of this blog and of acknowledging and discussing the intersectionality of race, gender, environmental and animal issues. I certainly support your right to have your own space; I am offering myself as an ally. Good luck organizing.
oops- i am in nyc
i would love to meet up with dallas vocs.
Anyone in Central Florida (the Orlando area)? How about Florida in general?
This is probably a bit late…
Orange County, NY during the summer.
New York City during the Fall.
