Leading Animal & Vegan Advocacy (AVA) International, dedicated to creating a world in which animals are taken out of the food system and other human uses. Our events offer an inclusive environment for professional animal & vegan advocates, activists, effective altruists, and new food pioneers from all around the world to learn from expert speakers, expand their network, exchange best practices, or move into new roles.  We are producing the AVA Summits and co-producing Asia Farm Animal Day 🌏🌍🌎 ​Subscribe to our monthly newsletter and​ follow us on LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | X *** Julia pursued a career in communications and event management before joining the animal and vegan advocacy movement.
