On Sunday May 17th the Albany Vegetarian Network was represented in the 2nd Veggie Pride Parade held in Greenwich Village, New York City.
The parade included about 700 marchers and began in the Old Meat Packing District and ended in Union Square Park. Participants in the parade wore costumes and carried signs to show support for animal rights and the health of people and the environment. Other groups held banners showing their enthusiasm of veggie pride.
The parade was a success and ended with a festival of music, free vegan food, inspiring speakers and 40 hand picked exhibitors. There was even a costume contest! Check out the winners and their prizes on the website: http://www.veggieprideparade.org/
