Today, we celebrate Animal Freedom Day!
🗽⚖️🦅 Today is Animal Freedom Day, which, for Project Animal Freedom, is the biggest animal rights holiday of the year!
“What is Animal Freedom Day,” you ask? It’s a celebration of freedom for all, honoring our collective struggle for total liberation and the progress we make as a movement toward a just, compassionate world.
Coinciding with the 4th of July, this new animal rights holiday celebrates the values most Americans hold dear: freedom, equality, and justice for all. It appeals to our shared desire for freedom by expanding that vision to include all sentient beings, human and nonhuman alike.
Steeped in these values, veganism represents a true American ideal: a world where everyone can enjoy the riches of life, the joys of freedom, and the securities of justice.
Animal Freedom Day traces its roots back to 2021, but it was not until 2023 that we officially began celebrating it. You can celebrate Animal Freedom Day by:
🍔 savoring vegan BBQ on the 4th of July
🌭 organizing a vegan BBQ potluck or other vegan event
❌ refraining from shooting off fireworks
✊ protesting 4th of July cruelty
🗽 joining Vegan USA on Facebook
➕ inviting 10+ of your friends to join Vegan USA
😸 honoring the struggle for animal freedom in your own way
Animal freedom is a cause worth celebrating. Let's transform the 4th of July—a traditionally meat-centric holiday—into a resounding call for freedom for all, nonhuman animals included.
Take pride in being vegan. Take pride in being an animal rights activist. Take pride in fighting for the most innocent, vulnerable, and defenseless among us, and celebrate our wins.
Because one day, these small victories will add up to total animal liberation. And that is something worth rejoicing over!
