Living Opposed to Violence and Exploitation (LOVE) is an anti-oppression collective that promotes veganism as an effective way to eliminate speciesist oppression.  LOVE is dedicated to understanding speciesist oppression as a form of oppression and actively opposing all forms of oppression.

The resources on this website are divided into a number of sections:
