Citizen’s Climate Lobby

Posted on July 16, 2018 by RocVegFest_Admin

We’re so happy that Citizen’s Climate Lobby is returning to VegFest!

They strive to empower citizens to influence their members of Congress, and spread the idea that each one of us can address climate change. They strongly support the Carbon Fee and Dividend plan.

“Carbon Fee and Dividend, a revenue-neutral carbon tax with 100% of the net revenue returned directly to households, will reduce greenhouse gas emissions 52% below 1990 levels within 20 years while growing the economy and saving lives.”

We’re very excited that Branch Homestead is coming to VegFest! I first saw them tabling next to ARRoc at an eco festival. They make a super-cool washable paper fabric that looks like worn leather. Think Levi’s label. They’ve been making bags for produce, but are developing a wallet, belt, and zipper bag

Pitty Love Rescue is returning to VegFest!

Based in Rochester, their primary focus is to find responsible homes for the dogs in their care and provide lifelong support to the dogs’ new families, but they also work on advocacy, information sharing, and community outreach, routinely working with the under-served portion of our community to help keep dogs in homes by providing necessary resources. That includes low cost spay/neuter, vetting assistance, training assistance, help with food, and collaboration to acquire affordable, non-discriminatory housing.
