Project summary

10 years ago, we built 200 VEGAN groups on Facebook, based on the most populated cities around the world. Today the groups have grown to 125,000+ members, with 10,000+ Daily Visitors.

Over the past 10 years these vegan groups & members have helped to influence change on a global scale such as:

⚡ [1] Assisted in making all 11 public hospitals in NYC convert to a Plant Based Meal as being the 1st & "default" meal option. Sept 29, 2022. PRESS RELEASE www.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/705-22/mayor-adams-nyc-h-h-ceo-katz-successful-rollout-expansion-plant-based-meals-as

⚡ [2] Created marriages for hundreds of vegan couples.

⚡ [3] Saved the lives of billions of animals.

⚡ [4] Converted thousands of carnivores & vegetarians into vegans.

⚡ [5] Assisted the City and County of Denver, Colorado which has two ballot initiatives in this year’s coming election in Nov 2024 Citizen Led Initiatives: Ordinance 308 & 309:

A ban on Fur #308. Boulder, CO has already banned fur as well as the state of California and other cities around the country. Polling around 60% in favor of the ban. https://www.denvergov.org/files/assets/public/v/1/clerk-and-recorder/documents/elections/2024/11.5-general/furban_samplepetition.pdf

A ban on Slaughterhouses #309. Prohibiting the construction, maintenance, or use of slaughterhouses within the City; and requiring the City to prioritize residents whose employment is affected by the ordinance in workforce training or employment assistance programs. Denver produces roughly around 20% of the nation’s lamb. Polling around 50% in favor of the ban. https://www.denvergov.org/files/assets/public/v/1/clerk-and-recorder/documents/elections/2024/slaughterhouseban_samplepetition.pdf

⚡ [6] Assisted Sonoma County, CA (near San Francisco) in implementing "Vote Yes on Measure J" to stop Factory Farming & ban it in the entire County. This will be a question in the upcoming election polls on November 5th, 2024. https://www.endfactoryfarming.vote

⚡​ [7] Assisted the County of Los Angeles voting in favor of serving plant-based food by default via Action 134 which calls to “promote plant-based menu options through nutrition and food procurement policies in food service settings such as County facilities, hospitals, higher learning institutions, school districts, jails, and other food settings.” https://lindseyhorvath.lacounty.gov/board-takes-action-to-address-emissions

⚡ [8] Assisted the City of West Hollywood, CA Council which now mandates City Council meetings and city sponsored events only serve plant-based food. Animal products will only be available upon request." https://weho.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=22&event_id=1544&meta_id=277053

These vegan groups are moderated by a team of volunteers who ensure that only relevant and valuable content is shared. With over 200 cities represented, these vegan groups continue to make a positive impact and are an essential resource for those looking to join the vegan community.

The vegan movement has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, with more people than ever before choosing to adopt a vegan lifestyle. This is largely due to the rise of social media, which has enabled vegan activists to reach a much wider audience.

The success of these vegan Facebook groups is a testament to the power of social media, and the impact it can have on the vegan movement. These groups have become a hub for vegan activists, providing a platform for them to share their stories, recipes, advice, and events.

These groups have also been instrumental in helping to convert thousands of people to veganism. Through their posts and discussions, they have been able to educate and inform people about the benefits of a vegan lifestyle, and the impact it can have on the environment and animal welfare. Through their work, they have been able to save the lives of billions of animals, and help to create a more sustainable future.

What are this project's goals? How will you achieve them?

To create a vibrant and supportive online community for vegans around the world, fostering connection, education, and advocacy. Our goal is to inspire and empower individuals to embrace a vegan lifestyle, promote animal welfare, and contribute to a more sustainable and compassionate world.

We have already achieved our goals of 175,000 members with 10,000 daily visitors, and are growing at extremely rapid pace which is eventually bringing us to be understaffed.

How will this funding be used?

To fund current & additional new staff for their volunteer time. In addition, for marketing, and operating costs.

Who is on your team? What's your track record on similar projects?

In Los Angeles, we have a team of about 10 volunteers. We have about 10 to 20 other volunteers to assist in various cities around the world.

What are the most likely causes and outcomes if this project fails?

We have no risk because we all work virtually from home. We are not obligated to any equipment or Real Estate leases nor Mortgages. If the project fails, we have only lost the time spent building & moderating these groups over the past 10 years.

How much money have you raised in the last 12 months, and from where?

Zero, because I have been self-funding this project from my personal accounts.
