Vegan Activism Comparison Chart

Great! You’ve decided to embrace veganism and a life committed to opposing oppression. Perhaps you are saying to yourself, “Now what? Where do I go from here?” And the answer is, get active! Not only is it important to make personal choices that reflect our opposition to violence and exploitation, it is equally valuable to speak to others about those choices and to educate everyone around us about how they can help to end oppression. Individually choosing to be vegan, you are removing your participation from the system of oppression. However, we can work to abolish the system itself by encouraging others to make the same choice, educating them about the various ways animals and human animals are exploited.
