**Celebrate [Veganuary](https://veganuary.com/en-us/)** on Saturday, January 4th, with the [Veg Society of DC (VSDC)](vsdc.org) with a vegan networking and social event at DC Vegan’s amazing [Botanical Bar](https://www.dc-vegan.com/)! This will be the kick-off to Veganuary in DC.
*Yes, we will also do a round of vegan trivia with prizes!*
*About Veganuary: “Our vision is simple; we want a vegan world. A world without animal farms and slaughterhouses. A world where food production does not decimate forests, pollute rivers and oceans, exacerbate climate change, and drive wild animal populations to extinction.” Veganuary has inspired and supported millions of people to try vegan since 2014 – with participants from almost every country in the world. They have worked with businesses to drive up vegan options in shops and restaurants, and have made veganism more visible and accessible through their work with national and international media.*
The Botanical Bar will feature a special mocktail for the occasion! There is **no fee to attend but PLEASE DO purchase an entree and drinks from the Botanical Bar (downstairs) or grab a bite from the DC Vegan cafe (upstairs). Everything is vegan.**
Note: Both DC Vegan Cafe and the Botanical Bar are *VSDC Green Rewards members so show your VSDC member card and get 10% off on food and beverages*.
