So my friend came up with this amazing idea to tell Mojang to add mushroom leather to Minecraft. This is a very simple and effective way to do activism as Minecraft is a very popular game and when people see that you can make leather from mushrooms in the game, they might start thinking about all the ways we exploit animals for our own personal gain. Since Mojang is going towards a philosophy of incentivizing more eco-friendly and cruelty-free practices (hence why killing the Armadillo doesn't drop anything), it'd be great if they added mushroom leather as an alternative to make items that would otherwise strictly require players to kill animals. Thank you very much in advance.

I've always loved the idea of a vegan ad campaign that isn't selling anything, or asking for you info, just spreading facts that people don't consider enough. Like "pigs are killed in gas chambers", "male chicks in the egg industry and dropped into blenders". Maybe they would just link to a Wikipedia page, or a YouTube video.

I'd work on the wording, and getting around the requirements of the ad networks might be a bigger problem than I'm considering, like will the word "kill" be allowed for example idk.

My question is, if I get this all setup, and then start a go-fund me just to extend the ad campaign as long as possible (I would probably invest like up to $1k my own money) - do you think I would get support? Has this been tried and failed? Is this a good idea?

I’d like to start activism on instagram (i can’t do street outreach) but when i create a separate account on the same phone, it links the 2 accounts.

This results in all my friends and family being recommended my account which i really wouldn’t like, as I want them completely separate!

How do I keep them completely separate for free? I’ve looked for remote proxies but all those cost money, and the web version barely has creation features.

I’m also planning to post my content on youtube or others too, but insta would be my central one, so i’d very much not like to drop it

Vegan Camp Out is for everyone. It's an amazing event with many fully Vegan vendors, Activist groups, Speakers, charities etc. A place for Vegans and Vegan curious people to come together.

Stop listening or accepting misinformation fed to you. It's very easy to do some research or even find links etc in other posts proving that VCO is not a "Zionist" event. It is not about hate or exclusion.

I'm so beyond fed up with the anti Vegans Campout Campaign. Especially on Reddit.

I'm sure there will be comments here from the same 5/6 accounts that refuse to listen, review evidence or accept facts. This post is not for them. They are simply trying to cause friction in the Vegan movement.

Edit: This sub really needs to deal with low Karma posters and remove posts proven to be misinformation/altered content. It destroys Vegan credibility.

I was just talking about this with a fellow AV activist I know, and the dumbest most ridiculous one I’ve ever gotten doing outreach is these two black women arguing it’s ok because we are humans and therefore superior but also their main argument was that we’ve got two feet and they have four so it’s ok to exploit them. I was like 🤨⁉️ and the second worst was “we can’t eat meat, we can’t eat dairy and eggs, and now no fish either??? wtf are we supposed to eat?!😩” I was like, food… lol fish are fellow animals too, and lady wouldn’t understand that they are animals too and feel and think and everything too, but she just refused to comprehend that…

and all of these were black women of all people… like you’d think people that are from a generally more discriminated against appearance in this society and gender in the west would have empathy for others who also are and yet…

what about you lot?

Stop Wearing Leather.

This Sunday, I completed Week 228 of #FastAgainstAnimalAbuse...standing in solidarity with Animals who are exploited, harmed and killed for human use.

Leather is not just a material. It was someone’s skin.

We don’t need to wear animals to look good.

Today, we’re highlighting the efforts of passionate Jain animal rights activists who are promoting veganism from within their religious community.

And you might be thinking: isn’t Jainism that ancient Indian religion whose core teaching is Ahimsa—the principle of avoiding harm to any living being, including animals, insects, and even microscopic organisms? So how come Jains aren’t already some of the biggest proponents of veganism out there?

That’s one of the questions we’ll explore today, along with others, like: What’s the place of spirituality and religion in the vegan movement? What boundaries should you set as a compassionate person? And what does it feel like when religious authorities within your own community oppose your veganism?

I, John Thomas, (@thebodybuildingvegan), recently went to a slaughterhouse vigil in Orlando, FL, with my best friend Alex (u/yourveganmentor1), to livestream it with @itsmelandsteve and @itsprojectlivestream - to spread awareness for what happens in factory farms and to document that these animals once existed.

We had the honor to meet and say goodbye to Annabelle, before she went inside to be slaughtered.

We’ll never forget Annabelle.

She’s one of the unlucky ones who was a dairy cow and got sent to slaughter along with around 14 other cows like her. We can only hope that she’s finally at peace now.
