The Northwest Animal Rights Network (NARN) invites you to an afternoon of good cheer, radical community, and delicious home-cooked vegan food. Maybe you celebrate some holiday, maybe you don't, but either way, we can make our own celebration!

Let's take some time to share our favorite dishes, talk about our work for the animals, and enjoy some wintery fun. NARN will provide the beverages and compostable dishes (tho' we always encourage you to bring your own from home!). You bring homemade vegan dish - main, sides, salads, appetizers, desserts, etc. Please also bring a serving utensil and a little piece of paper with the ingredients for those of us with allergies.

There is LIMITED SPACE in the venue, so reserve your FREE ticket at Brown Paper Tickets: https://2018potluck.bpt.me (if the link gives you trouble just search NARN Holiday Potluck on www.brownpapertickets.com)

Puppyland is a new store in Puyallup that sells puppies from breeders. The demo is all afternoon, but don't feel that you have to be there the entire time. Come for an hour or two to help hand out fliers or hold a sign. This is a peaceful demonstration, inspired by our desire to speak out against the dangers of allowing businesses like Puppyland to exist in our communities. Join us in providing free, educational information to the public about the dangers of supporting backyard breeding practices and puppy mills, the importance of spaying and neutering pets, the time and money it takes to responsibly care for a living creature, and the positive effects of screening pet owners through application processes.
