Plant Powered Disruptors present BITES, BEATS, AND ADVOCACY! Thursday July 30 at Urban Vegan Kitchen in New York City.
Want to help animals but don’t know where to begin (or what else you could do)? Plant Powered Disruptors got you covered!
Join us for an inspiring evening with volunteers and staff from leading animal rights and welfare organizations, who’ll walk you through the many ways you can get involved, from simple, everyday actions to more hands-on commitments.
Meet our guests:
Live music from vegan musicians The Repressions
