London Vegan Meetup

Want to meet people in London? Enjoy great vegan food? Then join the world's largest vegan social group (apparently!) Non-vegans welcome. And it's free!

Despite previously being a media partner, providing and managing a team of 70 volunteers, hosting social / games areas, and running stalls, this is why we will longer promote, attend or otherwise support V*gF*stUK.

“I am especially disappointed by those who would normally speak out against oppressive behaviour (e.g. those who profess to be "#intersectional" or to support "#TotalLiberation") yet who have supported Barford's campaign…”

Passionate about community, waste-reduction, nutrition, and sustainability? Our lovely friends at @lifeafterhummus (Somers Town, NW1) are recruiting for a Creative Chef and Community Educator as they launch a food-waste café and re-launch cooking classes.

🧵 I've said this elsewhere previously, but it bears repeating on Twitter/X. So, these are my own thoughts on why veganism is incompatible with support for Israel's occupation of and actions in Palestine, and why it instead necessitates support for Palestinian liberation.

#CeasefireNOW – “…a Meetup to join the main #London march on 11 Nov from Hyde Park to the US embassy… All forms of oppression are interrelated, each being based on one group’s sense of superiority over another (or every other).”

No, I will not be enabling a racist, ableist, transphobe by voting in their performative awards. No one opposed to systemic oppression should be standing for, voting in, or promoting them either. And I see those of you that are.

Think you should be running London @VeganMeetup? Or know someone who should be? Get in touch, as we plan for our future. Looking for those keen to build an inclusive community (rather than just an advertising platform, or their own personal profile).

[Robb Masters @robb_masters]

While I have some niggles with this article, it's probably still of value to those seeking “ethical” #PlantBased / #vegan products. (While there may be “no ethical consumption under capitalism”, we can at least strive to be less unethical!) @EC_magazine

[Charity Anti-Discrimination and Harassment Group @CharityDiscrim]

Spot on.

How many discriminatory organisations pat themselves on the back for sending out ‘inclusive’ emails? Or maximising photos of the <5 non-white staff members?

This describes most of the non-profits we receive disclosures about. Great branding, poor practice.

“The claims made by Jayne Buxton in her recent book… do not hold up to scientific scrutiny. Buxton is an ambassador for the Real Food Campaign, UK, which promotes animal agriculture… In this interview… Sandra Higgins helps refute them…” @GoVeganWorld2

Potentially misleading title (as “#CleanMeat” is typically a euphemism for meat grown in labs from animal cells, as opposed to #PlantBased). But an interesting story, although I haven't knowingly come across their products in #London yet.

Is @TheVeganSociety going to block everyone who challenges their Board's corruption and systemic oppression, or is that "honour" reserved for their previous Chair (yours truly!) for briefly managing to loosen their vice-like grip on power?

[Robb Masters @robb_masters]

How @TheVeganSociety responds to challenges to their Boards's corruption and system oppression: “La la la, were not listening." #vegan #vegans #veganism #racism #transphobia #ableism @ChtyCommission @CharitySanity @CharitySoWhite @CharityDiscrim @ThirdSector @CivilSocietyUK 1/2

@HappyCow And if you want to meet people in real life, see if there's a local vegan group on @Meetup too.

[London Vegan Meetup @VeganMeetup]

One of our members is looking for a UK #ethical / #vegan #financialAdvisor (e.g. #pensions). Are you one? Do you know one?

[Robb Masters @robb_masters]

1/ While @VeganMeetup, @AnimalsCount and Caring Veg Community* were all represented at London's march (given that the #PolicingBill threatens to criminalise #AnimalRights protests alongside all others), I can't help wondering where were @TheVeganSociety and @VivaCampaigns?

[London Vegan Meetup @VeganMeetup]

"If you've ever organised, joined or otherwise supported a march or protest (whether about veganism or anything else)… the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill should be extremely worrying… So, while I can't say that I particularly enjoy marches… I hope you'll join me."

[Robb Masters @robb_masters]

I haven't organised (or attended) a London @VeganMeetup since the start of the pandemic. But this is important…

One of our members is looking for a #biographer, #ghostwriter or similar (ideally one with a commitment to #SocialJustice) for a paid opportunity. https://t.co/K4lLY7M32D

@PimpFood Thanks. Will pass on your details. ❤️

[London Vegan Meetup @VeganMeetup]

Urgently looking for a vegan caterer for a funeral next Tuesday, 30 November. Near Epping Forest, and around 100 guests. Please share.

[London Vegan Meetup @VeganMeetup]

The first time I visited @NeatBurger_, I wasn't actually a fan. Yet they've since become my #1 takeaway choice! (I recommend the Filet-No-Fish, Cheesy Tater Tots and Strawberry Shake.) Hopefully, the £1.99 Cheese Burger will make them even more accessible.
