Hi John,

Have you been lurking on this mailing list, unsure of how to take your first step into activism? I was there too! I was a lonely vegan for many years before I found this incredible community and now I’ve never felt more purpose and more support in my life. I realized that there are so many people out there like me, looking for connection and meaning, who don’t quite know how to take that first step. 

This Saturday, I am presenting at the Meetup at the Berkeley Animal Rights Center (LINK) and I would love to see you there. The Meetup starts at 11:00am with delicious brunch and coffee and we move into a short ice breaker and presentation at 11:30am. The Saturday Meetups are always fun and informative and the food is delicious. 

Coming to an event is a great way to get more involved. If you want to learn more about the various levels of engagement in our chapter, check out this 3-minute video I made. I’m no YouTube star, but we do have a whole playlist of videos on our channel about how you can get plugged into our groundbreaking work. 

See you on Saturday and let’s change the world together!
