Yesterday, we marched for a plant-based food system!

✊🌎💚 Thank you to the six determined activists who joined us yesterday in the rain as we marched for a just, sustainable, plant-based food system!

Together, we exposed animal ag’s insidious role in the present ecological crisis, championed veganism as an environmental imperative, and demanded a plant-based, veganic food system. Perhaps most crucially, we called upon governments, businesses, and everyday citizens to embrace veganism, end subsidies to animal ag, and endorse the Plant Based Treaty.

Hundreds of people witnessed this powerful action, and over a dozen people stopped to speak with us, take pictures, and honk to show their support. There is not only a growing awareness of the profound environmental toll of animal agriculture, but a growing willingness to do something about it, a charge we helped lead on the Arch grounds in downtown St. Louis.

Our chants reverberated down the streets, and virtually no one heckled or laughed at us. Instead, dozens of passersby reacted positively, with several people grateful to see other vegans fighting for climate justice and one couple even asking us for vegan ice cream suggestions for their upcoming wedding.

It may have been cold, and it may have rained, especially early on during the march. But we persevered, because nothing will stop us from fighting for the future of all life on Earth. The stakes are simply too high to not take action and do what we can to avert climate catastrophe.

We hope you join us at future actions. Our voices are stronger together, and the opportunities before us too great to squander. Please join us at our Vegan Halloween Party + Vegan Chili Cook-Off next Saturday as well as we celebrate the end of our warm-month activism.
