The Vegan Bus and Shokazoba in NYC Walk for Farm Animals /  by vegan busdriver

On Sunday Sept 28, 2008 the Vegan Bus took our local Afrobeat band Shokazoba to NYC for the 2008 Farm Sanctuary "Walk For Farm Animals". Although the band only got to play one song due to rain, fun was had by all, as you can see from these photos...

Other entertainment and speakers included Princess Superstar, vegan iron man Brendan Brazier, Senator Liz Kreuger, Mercy for Animals Director of Campaigns Freeman Wicklund, Farm Sanctuary Executive Director Jeff Lydon, and indie songstress Bess Rogers.
