ARCPDX Social & Community Meeting - July 2024
-> 2215 NE Alberta St, Portland, OR 97211, USA
->
🌮✊ Let's get together to enjoy some authentic award-winning Mexican food, visit with some of our Pro-Animal city council candidates, chat about current ARCPDX campaigns, discuss upcoming events, and more. All are welcome. Come with your ideas!
🇲🇽 Chilango PDX is a woman-owned vegan restaurant that merges the rich flavors of their beloved Mexico City, their long-time home, with the vibrant community of Portland, their new home. In addition to creating delicious food, they are deeply committed to sustainability, fair wages, social responsibility, and supporting the vegan/AR community. https://chilangopdx.com/
👀 You may have noticed that our meeting has been moved to the 3rd Tuesday of the month. This is because Chilango PDX has graciously offered to host our meeting on the day they are usually closed. Given the growth of our group and meetings, we are grateful to have the entire restaurant to ourselves!
🥰 Their wonderful owner Vane, recently sustained an injury and the restaurant could really use some community support right now. So please come hungry and bring a friend! Join us for the social, the meeting, or both!
