VSDC Joins Pro-Animal DC for Turning Despair into Direct Action
Sunday, April 12, 2026, 1:00 PM EDT
Held at Workshop House, 1717 15th Street NW, Washington, DC, Washington, DC
Hosted by Veg Society of DC
Michelle Waldman, founder of [Rosie’s Farm Sanctuary](https://rosiesfarmsanctuary.org/), will join [Pro-Animals DC](https://proanimaldc.org/) and the [Veg Society of DC](http://www.vsdc.org/) for a deeply personal talk about how heartbreak over animal suffering became the doorway to action.
Michele is both the Founder of Rosie’s Farm Sanctuary and a licensed Psychotherapist. She shares how she transformed her grief into a vision for Rosie’s Farm Sanctuary.
This talk will explore how grief became a blueprint for healing and real-world change, and how her vision became a reality.
Coffee, bagels, and community will be provided! Feel free to bring any extra treats to share.
