Kingston VegFest

Are you passionate about intersectional justice and how human rights, animal rights, and environmentalism overlap? Join this online community forum tomorrow 7:30-8:30PM to learn about Kingston's new prison farms. Food is powerful and can be a source of harm or healing. Find out how we can work together as a community to ensure that prison farms are a source of healing. Hosted by Evolve Our Prison Farms, Kingston VegFest's Calvin Neufeld, and Kingston's Independent Health & We...llness Consultant Julia Miller Use Your Brain to Change Your Footprint.

Missing out on fresh delicious veg food? Check out this Local Love Pop-Up happening tomorrow with our friends Knifey + Spooney <3

Our good friends Knifey and Spooney offer free home delivery on their delicious plant-based menu items! Isolation doesn’t mean you need to go without! Sweet and savoury options and selection changes every week. Mmm mmmm...

Ottawa-based Twigs and Taters is doing a delivery day in Kingston! Check out this menu! We missed them at our last Night Market event, don't miss out on this awesome opportunity to have yummy vegan eats delivered to your door!

We're at 450 signatures on our petition to stop construction of a goat factory farm as a prisoner "rehabilitation" program (aka institutional agribusiness). Can... you help us get to 500? https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details Deadline is March 29 2020. Canadian residents only. Because this is a prison, because it's prison labour, because it's a federally funded "rehabilitation" program, we CAN stop this factory farm before it's even built. #humanrights #animalrights #climatecrisis #prisonfarms
