November 1st! World Vegan Day ushers in an entire month of celebrating and promoting the joys and undeniable benefits of being vegan. This year, there is plenty to be joyous about as veganism continues to evolve and become a mainstream lifestyle. What are you doing to celebrate?

There’s no doubt that adopting a plant-based diet is one of the most significant actions that we can take for the environment. This is an urgent message for vegan advocates to share. We hope this blog post inspires you to include environmental advocacy in your outreach!

There’s a lot we can learn as vegan activists from the story of Auntie Na's Village. This gathering place in Detroit's West Side provides food assistance, hygiene items, health services, and plant-based nutrition education! Learn how medical students from Wayne State University have encouraged this cornerstone community to embrace vegan food!

VegFund grantees have adapted to COVID-19 in exemplary ways, and we’ve collected a few of their stories. From vegan food relief to online academic programs, vegfests, and film screenings, these activists are sharing what they’ve learned, and we hope these lessons will benefit your future outreach efforts.

During a year of isolation and incredible flux, connecting with others has become all the more important. In 2020, we started asking questions on our social media channels as a way to engage more with our vegan activist community. And you answered! We hope that you’ll see yourself in the experiences of your fellow activists, feel inspired to take another step in your outreach, use the resources we’ve compiled, and maybe share a few smiles with us, too.

For plant-based health advocates in 2021, it's essential to understand how plant-based eating can improve our personal health as well as reduce the likelihood of future pandemics.
