FREE VEGAN FOOD EVENT!
On Sunday 1st Manchester Animal Protection and Manchester Climate Action held a free vegan picnic in Piccadilly gardens..
We gave away lots of delicious food, and seedlings, including aubergine plants and peppers! Much of the food was donated, some of it was skipped. We hung banners and had placards…
The overall response was really positive, despite the rain! Lots of people came and talked to us for a long time, and the council even sampled some of our tasty snacks!
We did some guerrilla gardening in Piccadilly gardens, an area which is increasingly less like a gardens every; planting everything from courgettes to rosebushes!
We also took our snacks into Burger King, Starbucks and Cafe Nero, offering customers free cake (and propaganda!)..
Similar events happened across the north in cities like Liverpool and Sheffield.
This event was organised as part of the day of action on food and climate change, which is happening tomorrow (3rd June)…actions and events are happening over the next few days…more to follow soon!

Hopefully it will be the start of more combined events with MAP/MCA!
