Diversity and Inclusion

We come from many different backgrounds, which means that there are multiple ways of becoming vegan. We also need to keep in mind that there are important connections among the different forms of oppression. For instance, everyone doesn't have access to healthy and affordable food options. These connections require that we include all oppressions in our advocacy to build a social justice movement that is inclusive, consistent, and effective.
