The Twin Cities are, thankfully, home to thousands of small, diverse, independent restaurants and small businesses. Many of them are currently facing overwhelming economic challenges due to federal actions and resultant fear and caution. We are organizing this series of plant-based dine-outs to come together as Minnesota residents and bring positive community connections and economic support to our local businesses, all while supporting animal-friendly, eco-friendly food offerings.
Join us at the local restaurant Lulu EthioVegan Cuisine for delicious vegan food and for connection, conversation, and community.
Lulu EthioVegan's delectable vegan offerings include dishes from Ethiopia and beyond, from shiro wot (chickpea stew) and mushroom tibs, to burgers and chili, to falafel and sambusas. Beyond their diverse menu, Lulu EthioVegan offers beautifully-prepared coffee and non-alcoholic drinks and desserts.
Please RSVP on Ticketbud -- https://ticketbud.com/events/1282b1c6-fd49-11f0-97ae-42010a717003 .
Email [email protected] if you can no longer make it.
Everyone is welcome at this dine-out, regardless of diet, race, age, or any other demographic. Feel free to invite your veg-friendly friends and family.
There will be a brief remote action available to take to support animals.
We know many in our community are concerned that ICE is racially profiling people, not observing due process, and disregarding constitutional rights, and that some people are sheltering in place at home. If you are sheltering at home as a precaution, there are a limited number of tickets available to have your dinner dropped off by a community member. To do this, 1. Go to Ticketbud and reserve your “Community Delivery” spot. 2. Call the restaurant and make an order for pickup at 6:30pm on Saturday, February 21. Be sure to pay ahead on the phone. Be sure to make the order under the same name as your Ticketbud reservation. 3. Keep an eye on your email for a description and phone number of the community member who will drop off to you.
