About Vegan Belmont
As vegans, we believe it is wrong to harm animals for no good reason. This means we do not use animals for food, clothing, or entertainment.
Our Belmont, MA community group has two purposes:
Support the local vegan community.
Advocate for animal rights and veganism.
In 2022, we plan to host events, provide resources for parents with kids in local schools, and grow our community.
