About

This site provides an evidence-based, non-hyperbolic informational resource for beginners to veganism as well as for those engaging in veganism and animal rights advocacy. Whether you are proactively reaching out to others on the streets, or answering the queries of friends, family, and acquaintances (perhaps begrudgingly), this site can help. We provide useful, pertinent information that is logically and efficaciously organized.

Sections

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

Foundational Information

The most important entries in each section will be flagged as Foundational. Think of foundational information as things 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
