FREE VEGAN SNACKS

We offer free vegan snacks at almost all of our events: sometimes homemade, sometimes from a favorite restaurant. Our goal is to introduce non-vegans to alternatives to meat, dairy, and eggs, but all you vegans are equally welcome to partake!

Our Mission

To educate the public about the purpose and benefits of veganism: animal life, human health, and our earth.

Field Museum, Chicago, Feb 2017

Our Vision

A flourishing world in which avoidable human and animal suffering are eliminated, with all life in sustainable balance. Eating a whole-food vegan diet is one of the primary factors that will lead us toward this harmony.
