OUR VEGAN VOICES ARE CHANGING THE WORLD

In reflecting upon the past couple years, certainly we think of the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and how it turned our lives upside down.  In moving beyond this crisis, we need to see the virus as an inflection point of enormous consequence, a direct sign that humans must move away from the exploitation of animals.  Many of the ways in which we produce food have simply become unsustainable and are a growing threat to global health.
