PETA staff partnered with Detroit Councilman James Tate & @estellas_cuisine to hand out almost 150 overflowing bags of fresh fruits, veggies, soup mix, tofu, chickpea salad sandwiches, and pints of JD’s vegan ice cream to residents attending the Detroit District 1 meeting. PETA will continue to team up with local officials to fight against food injustice until fresh, sustainable, vegan food is accessible to all! ✊🌱 “This was such an amazing experience to have been a part of! All of the hard work and energy put into making this event happen was returned tenfold by the overall response from the community. It was a very awe inspiring feeling to see so many people come together to achieve the same goal for a greater good.” - DeLana, Junior Campaigner “As someone who is very passionate about both animal rights and human rights I feel very grateful to have been part of this special event that combines both issues. It was heartwarming to see how excited the residence of district 1 were to get a bag of fresh produce, a chickpea tuna sandwich, and vegan ice cream. They were eager to learn more about how eating plant based can be more affordable and beneficial to their health along with the wellbeing of the animals and the earth. Most residence signed the post cards urging lawmakers to redirect animal agriculture subsidies towards vegetables and fruits instead.” - Racheli, Campaigns Assistant #detroit #michigan #detroitmichigan #district1 #foodjustice #foodinjustice #foodequity #foodscarcity #fooddesert #fruitsandveggies #PETA #nonprofit #animalrights #humanrights #justice #vegan #plantbased #plantbasednutrition #health #healthyfood
