Who’s excited about Passover? I know I am!
Passover is a Jewish holiday about the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. It is a celebration of dignity, hope, and freedom. Prayers said on Passover call on us to be kind to those who are now oppressed and to deepen our commitment to liberty today. Animals on factory farms are oppressed and denied their freedom, so this is a good time to make a commitment to helping them win it by going vegan. My favorite vegan Passover recipe—Sweet Potato Kugel—is a delicious way to get started!

Hello! My name is Nina, and I am a musician-in-training, and I play 7 instruments. I am a liberal, an LGBT activist, avid reader, composer, singer, and poi spinner. I am vegan, and a strong supporter of animal rights.
Born and raised in Mexico. I love vegan food and animals!
I was born in Canada and love peta2. I table every month and meet new people:older and younger. I love music and play the recorder. I'm a 6 year spelling bee champion. Again I love peta2!
I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
I'm tall, I love sewing, fashion and the environment, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.) Obviously, I love animals! :)

I do accept as true with all of the ideas you’ve offered in your post. They’re really convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too quick for starters. May you please prolong them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
