We are teaching an educational program to an animal ethics class at Madonna University. We will foster empathy and compassion for animals and invite students to think critically about the human-animal relationship, and to specifically question the use of animals as food.

Join us for a Virtual Open House Lobbying Party to take action on pending bills in Michigan to prevent the expansion of factory farms in Michigan. 

Learn about 10 simple and tasty things you can do every single day that can support a healthy brain and happy mood. Presented by Nichole Dandrea-Russert, MS, RDN, plant-based dietitian nutritionist, and founder of purelyplanted.com

We are thrilled to announce that VegMichigan's Lansing Dinner Club Meetups are back! Hope to see you at Blaze, where you can build your own delicious pizza with plant-based cheese and chorizo.

The Faith-Based Coalition is organizing a plant-based event with lots of activities including a plant-based potluck, a testimonial about how vegan living has benefitted one of their congregation members, a presentation on the benefits of plant-based eating by VegMichigan, "Why Plant-Based Eating?," and a cooking demonstration by Rhoda St. Luce (AKA The Platinum Chef) organized by VegMichigan.

We will give a presentation about the benefits of eating plant-based for our health and the environment, with a focus on mitigating climate change. We will also discuss pending Michigan bills that will incentivize the expansion of factory farms and how we can take action on that legislation.

It seems like our discussions inevitably veer towards food, cooking, and/or eating out, so for our February Book Club, we are going to embrace that inclination! We will talk about Protest Kitchen, which is both a cookbook and a manual for fighting injustices with our food choices.

Come out to Ale Mary's in Royal Oak, where they have an entire plant-based menu filled with comfort food favorites!

In February we are changing things up and hosting a lunchtime event at First Bite! Join us and try some of their yummy, plant-based breakfast and lunch options.

VegMichigan will give a brief talk about the connection between food and climate change, and let people know how eating more plant-based can help to lower one's household carbon footprint.
