*EB+B will be hosting a month-long fund raiser for the families of Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd and Josh Fattal - three Americans that have been detained in a prison in Iran since July 31, 2009. (Josh graduated from Cheltenham High School). A 13oz glass is $5 - with $1 being contributed, a 20oz glass is $6 - with $.50 being contributed. Earth will also add additional money per glass sold to the fund. Please visit their website for more information about them and sign the petition.

There has been quite a bit of feedback concerning the availability of vegan foods at the new location. I think it's time to make something clear- Vegan Drinks Philly is not a food-related event. It's not a dinner. It's not a potluck. It's about vegans, vegetarians, and veg-curious getting connected with like-minded people. Sorry to sound so harsh, but there are PLENTY of other vegan potlucks and dinners if that's what you're looking for.

If you're only concerned about eating, then this event is not for you. Please visit vegandrinks.org to read the purpose of Vegan Drinks events and if you have any comments regarding it, please direct them to info@vegandrinks.org. That being said, I'm actively working to increase the vegan offerings available and the more people who come to these events, the more leverage we have :)

Helping Haiti!

Since we're not raising any money at this month's event, I'd like to direct you all to give what you can to help the people of Haiti. Food For Life Global is going to begin sending vegan food to Haiti within the next week and your contribution of only $25 can deliver 100 vegan meals to the helpless in Haiti. The situation in Haiti is nothing less than utterly devastating and if you aren't exactly aware of the situation, please watch this video clip of a recent interview from Democracy Now! Please give whatever you can, these people have NOTHING and desperately need our help.
