This meetup group is for vegans who would like to meetup and hangout with other vegans on and near Aquidneck Island (Newport, Portsmouth, Middletown, Narraganset, Fall River, etc.)

This meetup group is for those who practice kindness and non-violence toward ALL animals. As vegans we choose not to commission the exploitation of animals when it comes to our choices for food, clothing and entertainment.

Island Vegans will have meetups including dining, nightlife, outdoor activities, providing the opportunity to take a timeout from a world of systemic animal use and find an oasis where you can socialize exclusively with others who view our world through the same lens you do!
