Each day, we are given at least three opportunities to practice compassion by leaving cruelty off our plates. Contrary to what some people say, adopting a vegan lifestyle isn’t all about sacrifice. In fact, many find that it opens them up to a universe of yummy foods and like-minded people. Furthermore, individual vegans, on average, save more than 100 lives a year - and by taking their compassion one step further and advocating for farm animals, these same individuals could have a hand in saving thousands more. With animal production responsible for a large percentage of greenhouse gas emissions, animal food products the cause of a number of diseases plaguing our country, and approximately 10 billion land animals killed for food in the U.S. each year, there’s never been a more critical time to go vegan and start advocating for farm animals.
Explore the nuts and bolts of veganism, and learn how to ramp up your farm animal activism in a way that empowers and excites you by joining us for From Veganism to Activism, an interactive workshop led by Farm Sanctuary Campaigns Manager Jasmin Singer. With the help of audience members, Jasmin will nimbly take on topics such as the cruelty, environmental degradation and health risks associated with factory farming - and what you can do to stop it.
Speaker Info: Jasmin Singer, Farm Sanctuary’s campaigns manager, is one of the voices behind the blogs “Making Hay” and “VEGdaily,” and her writing has also appeared in blogs such as “Crazy Sexy Life” and “Civil Eats,” as well as print publications like Satya and Heeb.

Last year, at age 29, VegNews named her a “20 Under 30.”
