Boston Vegan Association -- Join now!
I'm pleased to announce the formation of the Boston Vegan Association, a community-based organization founded to unite local vegans and empower them to contribute toward ending the exploitation of animals by promoting veganism in Boston and the surrounding areas. In pursuit of this mission, the BVA seeks to:
- Increase vegan options at retail, restaurant and university establishments in the Boston area
- Leaflet on college campuses and in heavily trafficked public areas
- Speak to students of all ages about animal concerns
- Offer vegan food tastings, or "feed-ins"
- Support and educate new vegans
- Provide a community for local vegans
- Educate and train activists in public speaking and other legal and effective activism through a guest speaker series, coaching, mentorship and hands-on approaches
- Conduct or sponsor movie screenings, followed by Q&A sessions
- Write letters to educate the media, public and government about animal issues and veganism
- Occasionally assist with legal animal rescues in the New England area
- Offer grants supporting the vegan ventures of local activists and entrepreneurs, among other various activities oriented toward promoting and normalizing veganism and animal rights.
