Mission, Vision and Values

Mission: L.O.V.E. works to promote the understanding of speciesism as a form of oppression and veganism as a positive, effective response to eliminating speciesism and achieving the liberation of animals oppressed by speciesism.

Vision: L.O.V.E. seeks to accomplish the elimination of speciesism through the following means:

• Promoting a veganism that is accessible to all as a response to speciesism to its members and the general public.
• Fostering positive discussion amongst activists and the community about veganism and speciesism.
• Offering tools, resources and support for members to promote veganism to the public.
• Acknowledging that speciesism is a form of oppression amongst many, that all forms of oppression are intertwined, and that no oppression is tolerable.

Values: L.O.V.E. promotes the following values amongst our members:

• Positive, constructive outreach creates positive, effective activists.
• L.O.V.E. serves as a safe-haven for discussion, growth, and change.
• Collectively, we honor a commitment to local, community-based activism and a pledge to support local activities to the best of our abilities.

Community Agreement

Living Opposed to Violence and Exploitation (LOVE) and the website at loveallbeings.org primarily exists to serve its individual members as a resource and safe haven for the growth and exploration of veganism within the framework of oppression. Members of the group and users of the website must abide by some general rules set forth to protect individuals and the community we have all worked so hard to build.

As a member or supporter of LOVE, we ask that you:

• Be vegan or actively working on being vegan.
• Advocate veganism with your words and actions, and do not condone ANY animal use.
• Uphold the mission, vision, and values of LOVE.
• Communicate respectfully with fellow LOVE members and the general public.
• Foster the growth of a vegan, activist community both online and in your neighborhood.
• Get active for animals in a positive, constructive way and encourage others to do the same.

Furthermore, we ask that all members actively work to keep LOVE and loveallbeings.org as a safe space for everyone by participating in respectful discourse and being aware of power and privilege issues. More information on any and all of these topics can be found in the resource section of the site.
