Synny667 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I am the biggest fan of PCRM. Their 21 day vegan kickstart got me on the road to a healthy vegan lifestyle with meal plans and forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodhiDave85 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Actually ..vegan bodybuilding is my favorite organization because it proves vegans dont lose anything ..but actually gain as many benefits as they desire . The forum in general is a staple of mine for many references. The site is level headed..practical ..and factual based ..its a great place to avoid all the psuedo science/new age crap that give vegans a bad name !!!

Simi Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 www.veganbodybuilding.com for supporting vegan athletes and showing the world that vegans CAN be fit, strong and muscular.We can become a voice against animal abuse without even using words - Vegan Bodybuilding helps us to use our bodies as proof to the world that exploitation of animals is not necessary to achieve fitness goals, despite what is generally assumed in the industry.New vegans, or even meat eaters interested in making the switch are able to access the website for unlimited free help, tips and support from the community here, and hopefully inspire more and more people to live more passionately and work towards ending animal cruelty. Also, Animals Australia for their amazing work promoting animal rights, exposing animal exploitation and making our nation more aware of what really happens in farms, factories, abattoirs and live exports though news reports, social media, radio, online and printed media.

lasdosashleys Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 My favorite organization is Compassionate Action for Animals based out of Minneapolis. www.exploreveg.org. They are one of the most financially conscious organizations I've ever been a part of - they make every $ count in big ways by doing local and national outreach and by running sites such as vegweb.com.

SaraTonin Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 This website and forum right now is pretty high up there but for local information and organization it's http://bostonvegan.org/. They educate newcomers and welcome everyone who is either interested or have been vegan and supporting animal rights for a long time. They are simple and straight forward and not preachy. I hate preachy:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dharmaskitchen Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Farm Sanctuary!! Gene Baur has done some amazing work~ his book, Farm Sanctuary was what prompted me to drop dairy completely... prior to reading it, I had no idea of the cruelty involved in the industry. The nice part about the book is that he also includes stories of rescued animals, giving insight into their unique, loving personalities and how, as ambassadors at the sanctuaries themselves (there are two) they continue to reach the hearts of visitors. After a visit to the New York location, the one friend who was an adamant carnivore on the ride up, was vegan by the time we left Not to mention their tireless legal campaigns~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I like this website! The book Vegan Bodybuilding and Fitness is inspiring as it explains how living compassionately and healthy is the best way to advocate for the animals by example!

gweimo Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Boston Vegan association because they have a great group going there and their comprehensive abolitionist vegan Literature is brilliant and they send me some (kg's!) to the uk free of change.

Marchita Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I am very impressed with many sites, especially PCRM (Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine). They always have extremely informative facts. They work to inspire and educate. I love that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowvegan Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 My favorite organization currently would have to be Farm Sanctuary! I love the work they do. Not to discredit any organization at all, we are all one big family, but Farm Sanctuary is doing great work with caring for animals that would otherwise become dinner. I'm attracted to their organization because of the effort and works that I have personally seen here in my own city. They are great about organizing charity events, getting info out for veganism, and they stay on top of their contact information, making it easier to find out anything you need from them. Also wanted to include Sea Shepherd and their work! In love with what Watson and his crew do for the whales. I thought Greenpeace was radical, but Watson felt it wasn't aggressive enough! They're a perfect example of DIRECT ACTION! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
