REAL LIVE VEGANS - FREE VEGAN FOOD - FREE LIT AND STICKERS

AJ Muste Institute 339 Lafayette Street, 3rd Floor - New York City ( Take #6 train to Bleecker St., F/V/B/D to Broadway/Lafayette, or N/ R to Prince St.) Join us for a free screening of the award-winning film EARTHLINGS (95 min.) and stay for the discussion. We'll address questions including: - Why are animal rights part of the Socialist Party Platform? - What does buying organic / local / "free range" / fair trade really mean? - How are worker's rights, environmentalism, world health and hunger related to animal rights? - Is capitalism a driving force behind animal exploitation? - Is veganism more than just a diet? - What is speciesism, and why are capitalists such big fans of it? - Can you go vegan without giving up the tastes and textures you love? - How are the consumption of eggs and milk feminist issues? - Is veganism really just a "personal choice"? - Should the fight for animal rights take a back seat to the fight for human rights? - Is veganism only for people who can afford to shop at pricey health food stores? - What's going on right now in the animal rights movement? - What's going on around these issues in NYC?
