Template:Jfastart The mission of Justice for Animals is to provide a body of knowledge useful to vegans, those considering veganism, and especially those engaged in vegan and animal rights advocacy. Whether you are actively engaging others on the street or discussing any aspect of veganism to inquisitive friends, family, or acquaintances, we can help.

The information we provide is usefully and logically organized, evidence-based, and non-hyperbolic.

Template:JfanoteIf you are new to veganism, the first three articles in the Basics Section provide a good starting point.Template:Jfanote-end

Sections

The site is organized into the following sections, with information in each section further categorized by animals, ethics, earth, health, and humanity, as appropriate.

Template:JfanoteSome of the pages listed are not linked either because the content has not been converted to this wiki, or because they are just serving as examples of the kinds of content that is intended for that section Template:Jfanote-end

  • Basics
    • This section contains articles covering some basic information about veganism and animal rights. The top three articles provide a good starting point for those interested in veganism.
  • Objections
    • This section provides reasoned responses to common objections, concerns, and questions regarding animal rights and veganism. The responses are organized into talking points. >
  • Fact Sheets
    • Fact Sheets provide support for a variety of assertions that are commonly made in advocating for veganism and animal rights. Each fact sheet consists of one assertion, followed by summarized citations of supporting evidence for that assertion.
  • Summaries
    • Each entry in this section summaries an important book, video, study, or person, highlighting information that is useful for veganism and animal rights advocacy.
  • Blog Posts
    • This section contains blog posts on a variety of topics. Blog posts are not intended to be Foundational.

Foundational Information

The most important entries in each section will be flagged as Foundational. Think of foundational information as basic information you should know in order to be the most effective advocate for veganism and animal rights.

Information and facts should be used judiciously, and are certainly not all you need to be an effective advocate. But being generally familiar with the knowledge presented in foundational entries can help.

Foundational pages have been copyedited or are flagged to be copyedited by a professional copy editor. Small edits by users to foundational pages only need to be approved by admins, but larger edits are flagged to be copy edited.

The focus after conversion will be on completing foundational entries. This needs to happen before other content is added. We will be recruiting other authors to work on foundational entries for both the Fact Sheets Section and the Summaries section. Recruiting others can only happen after guidelines are written and a couple of examples in each of these sections are completed.
