The Transformative Power of Veganism: A Special Event with Ruby Roth
In this one-of-a kind lecture, acclaimed author Ruby Roth explores the transformative power of veganism on society and the individual (children included!). Through an examination of pop culture, the controversial media response to her children's books, and the obstacles one faces by being vegan and raising vegan kids, Roth reveals the invisible forces that shape public thinking about health, children, and animals, strengthening her audience's resolve to fight the good fight, overcome social and familial pressures, and engage children in healthy eating and animal rights. Whether you're a vegan veteran or a veg-curious newbie, whether you're raising kids or work with children other than your own, whether you're planning a family or involved in animal advocacy, Roth will inspire you to rethink the status quo as well as our cultural approach to raising kids.
The 90-minute presentation and Q&A portion of the event is designed for adults (babies in arms welcome). Free onsite childcare in the nursery room will be provided on a limited basis (recommended age for this room is 6 and under). Toys are available for use in the nursery. Older children who can be left unsupervised are invited to use the parlor room for quiet activities during the adult-focused presentation. There are no activities in the parlor room, but please feel free to bring a vegan snack for your child and a favorite activity. The presentation and Q&A will be followed by a book signing and a reading for children of V Is for Vegan.
Each adult and child will need a ticket. There are 20 tickets available for each child ticket category. Tickets for adults are $15 and children are free.
