Events
On Saturday, June 14th from 6-9 pm, we will host a potluck dinner featuring the talk “Compassionate Action: Changing Menus & Changing Minds,” by Erica Meier, director of the DC animal advocacy nonprofit group Compassion Over Killing.
Join us to learn how you can make a difference for animals in your community by working with restaurants, cafeterias, and other food-related businesses. This presentation will offer tips and strategies empowering you to help get more vegan options into local eateries and encourage them to phase out some of the cruelest animal products from their menus. You’ll also hear success stories to motivate and inspire you to get active for animals.
Erica Meier is the executive director of Compassion Over Killing, a non-profit animal advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C. Since 1995, COK has worked to end the abuse of animals in agriculture through undercover investigations, public outreach, litigation, and other advocacy programs. Before working at COK, Erica spent four years as an animal control officer in D.C., rescuing sick, injured, and homeless animals as well as enforcing animal protection laws.
