Social justice advocates from in and around Dallas joined together this weekend to march with MFA at the city’s annual Gay Pride Parade, waving flags, passing out pro-vegan literature, and holding a banner declaring, “No one is free when others are oppressed.”
Distributing Why Love One But Eat the Other and 25 Reasons to Try Vegetarian brochures at the parade and daylong Pride festival, dozens of MFA volunteers opened the minds of thousands of people to the many benefits of vegan living.
More than a hundred Pride attendees also participated in our Paid-Per-View exhibit and were paid one dollar to watch a 4-minute clip of MFA’s hard-hitting documentary, Farm to Fridge. The MFA viewing booth was crowded all day with curious people interested in learning more about modern animal agriculture. The shocking footage stirred emotions and inspired many viewers to adopt a vegan diet on the spot.
The day was filled with inspiring conversations, including dozens of people excited to receive vegan recipes and area restaurant guides, and one memorable woman who sought out the MFA booth to celebrate her one year “vegiversary,” since receiving an MFA brochure at last year’s festival.
This was MFA’s sixth year marching in pride parades, and as in years past, the crowd response was amazing.
