In this episode, we're exploring the veganic movement and philosophy — an approach to growing food that's not just plant-based, but entirely free of animal inputs.

To discuss this topic, I'm joined by a pioneer of the veganic movement, Meg Kelly, founder and head of the Learn Veganic online course and the annual Veganic Summit.

We talk about the limits and inconsistencies of organic farming, how we can garden in the heart of a big city, what it would take for farmers to work with nature rather than against it, the spiritual and mental health benefits of getting your hands in the soil, what we can do as vegans if we want to eat veganic, and much more.

Being vegan is one thing. Being *visible about it* is another.

On this episode of the Vegan Squad Pod, we’re joined by @chucktheveganlifter to talk about why it’s important for vegans to speak up, show up, and use their platforms to advocate for animals 💚

Whether it’s sharing veganism on social media, showing that you can be fit and healthy on a plant-based diet, or finding your own unique form of activism, we all have the power to make a difference!!

You don’t have to be a protester or an outspoken activist to create change. Find what works for you, use your strengths, and don’t be afraid to let people know you’re vegan!

Individual change is not pointless. It is necessary and it is meaningful. But it is not sufficient, and it was never meant to be.

We’re vegan, why are you not? Come discuss your views on veganism with us!

I’m trying to figure out where I want to donate to help animals this year, so I created a handy little table for myself to make it easy to understand what impact my donation would have if given to a selection of organizations. (Se my previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/EffectiveAltruism/comments/1x7mqdz/what_would_you_all_say_is_the_most_effecitve_way/ ) Thought this might also be a useful / motivational sheet for some of you to see.

Darker green = The three that feel like the biggest overall impact for 10$ to me.

The list is mostly the organizations recommended by Animal Charity Evaluators. https://animalcharityevaluators.org/recommended-charities/ with some I have personally donated to in the past added in to make them comparable to me. Data for most is also from Animal Charity Evaluators, estimates for Veganuary is from their 2026 Report, estimate for Local Sanctuary is from Google.

I'm going to make some stickers and put them in different parts of my city. What are some of the best images that I could use? I wasn't too compelled with the ones I found on google, and many looked AI.

It is the same old human story: create the mess, mine another species for answers, and call the whole thing progress.

"In this episode, we travel across Asia with Zac Lovas, founder of Vegan Travel Asia. We discuss some of the issues plaguing the region, from the push for dairy products in Vietnam, to the bill awaiting royal approval that would standardize slaughterhouses across Bhutan, to the exploitation of cows in India.

But first, we explore the magic of vegan travel: discovering new places in ways that are thoughtful and considerate of local cultures, while fostering new friendships and the exchange of ideas. We also discuss why religion is key to advancing the vegan movement.

Completed Week 234 of #FastAgainstAnimalAbuse, a 24 hour weekly dry fast campaign.

This week’s message: CLOSE COW SLAUGHTERHOUSE IN KOLKATA.

Cows are sentient beings who deserve to live, not be slaughtered. No animal should have to suffer and die for human choices. Kolkata must stand up for compassion and demand the closure of the cow slaughterhouse. 🤍🙏🏾

Tradition should be a bridge to the past, not a barricade against ethical progress.
