Vegan Advocacy Initiative

Vegan Advocacy Initiative (VAI) is a people of color, animal advocacy and food justice organization. As animal advocates, we support a shift toward creating alternative food systems that exclude cruelty toward non-human sentient animals. Through our projects, we encourage others to consider a new way of thinking – that animal rights must be part of the food justice and environmental justice movements in order to create more sustainable and fair systems. In addition, we recognize the importance of building relationships with these and other social justice movements.. We are also the creator of the People of Color: Animal Rights, Advocacy & Food Justice Conference.
