COK Delivers Your Signatures Against Nestlé Cruelty
This week, COK turned up the August heat on Nestlé at its VA headquarters! DC's ABC7 had cameras rolling as our giant inflatable cow soared overhead and we delivered more than 20,000 petition signatures against cruel horn removal in young calves -- a brutal and unnecessary practice documented in COK's recent investigation of a Nestlé supplier. COK volunteers also gave free vegan ice cream to passersby who learned how they can help calves by going dairy-free.
In an exciting new venue -- Nationals Park, home of baseball's Washington Nationals -- COK's DC VegFest was a home run, drawing over 15,000 vegans and pre-vegans to the celebration! From inspiring speakers and live cooking demos, to delicious vegan food, fun activities for the whole family, a VIP lounge, and more, the largest vegan festival on the East Coast was hotter than ever this year. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser even declared August 11 "DC VegFest Day!"
Following years of campaigning by COK, joined by thousands of requests from consumers and our supporters like you, Subway told COK it's launching a partnership with Beyond Meat to test a plant-based meatball sub in 685 stores! Find out when you can try it, and help us continue to urge Subway to sub meat for more vegan options.
