I will still attend and will make sure to contact the organisers about my disappointment in their decision both via email and by leaving feedback at the event. So glad to hear Portland and Chicago are far more supportive of the important issues the FEP covers.mishkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267872481205895176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981135117282412741.post-15963455656183822692016-04-06T23:45:36.016-07:002016-04-06T23:45:36.016-07:00The fact that they may not use the word "vega...The fact that they may not use the word "vegan" is not a problem, in fact I think that it is a smart strategy to reach more folks in many instances. It's also, as far as I could understand from your above article, not in any way related to your problem.<br /><br />Other than this, it seems to be a pity that you group didn't get to rent a space at this VegFest.

Does Chicago VeganMania have plans for any content or speakers on collective liberation/connected exploitation between speciesism, class, race, gender/sex, citizen status, language, etc.). That would be so cool since Chicago has unique demographics and a cool history. I've only been once, but I'd love an excuse to come back to check out the line up! <3Anikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594257035961905798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981135117282412741.post-35986471675295497302016-04-06T16:23:59.153-07:002016-04-06T16:23:59.153-07:00Thanks for your support and kind words Vegan Elder...Thanks for your support and kind words Vegan Elder!

Indeed, our VegFest has never been vegan - even tho' there is a high demand for an all vegan event. I hope you visit again and if you do, the chapter can take you out for brunch!

Seattle is one of my favorite cities, and I enjoyed meeting all the vegan activists at the (nearby) <a href="http://funcrunch.org/blog/2016/03/30/making-connections-at-whidbey/" rel="nofollow">Intersectional Justice Conference</a> last month.<br /><br />I see from the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vegfestseattle/posts/1054661977924183" rel="nofollow">Vegfest Facebook page</a> that they're not even bothering to lie about the non-vegan nature of the event; they're OK with "tiny amounts" of dairy or eggs (i.e. forced impregnation and slaughter) in vendor products.
