What we’re about
This group connects your passion for animals, people and the planet with opportunities to become an "everyday activist" in all that you do. We will meet to offer support and camaraderie and learn about veganism, ideally with the intention of inspiring others to join our community. Our get togethers may include discussions of inspirational and educational books and documentaries, vegan potlucks and recipe swaps, health and wellness lectures, cooking workshops, film screenings, garden tours, outdoor activities and hikes, meditation and yoga techniques, and vegan dining out. If you're not yet vegan but moving along the plant-based path, this group will assist you in your journey. All events are strictly vegan, which means no animal products (meat, eggs, dairy, honey, fish, etc.) will be served or eaten out of respect for the animals and the ethical beliefs of members. Please also adhere to a policy of No Solicitation of personal business or other matters from which you may benefit personally. This is an informational and social group intended to build community. It is not for business networking, sales opportunities, or a dating service. Any form of harassment will not be tolerated. Events are for members who are respectful of each other, and anyone who violates the rules will be permanently removed.

|You’re invited to join PETA President Ingrid Newkirk and senior staff for our delightful High Tea and Highballs celebration of PETA’s 45 years of changing practices and minds and winning landmark victories for animals!
| At this special benefit, you will enjoy savoring delicious vegan versions of traditional high tea dishes, including an indulgent selection of cut sandwiches, “sausage” rolls, “buttery” scones, tea cakes, English trifle, and other treats. You’ll also enjoy a variety of teas and plant milks, as well as a luscious selection of cocktails and mocktails.
| Join us and come mingle with some of PETA’s most dedicated local supporters at the lovely home of our PETA Vanguard Society members and hear senior leadership share the latest breaking news on what’s become of the chimpanzees featured in the hit series “Chimp Crazy”, our repatriation of American horses, and how we are revolutionizing science and fashion and litigating against abusive corporations; then we’ll take you to India, Ukraine, Romania, and rural America to witness the rescue of all kinds of wonderful animals.
You’ll also have a chance to elevate your compassionate lifestyle via our silent auction of cruelty-free treasures and peruse a selection of PETA’s hottest merchandise and literature. We’ll also celebrate Ingrid’s birthday with some special treats.
| Individual tickets to attend are $150 per person. You are also welcome to sponsor a table. Additional donations are requested to benefit PETA’s impactful work. Thanks to the generosity of a fellow supporter, all donations for this event will be matched up to $50,000, so your contribution will go twice as far to boost our effective work to rescue animals from harm. |
