Get involved with Vegan Justice League!
What are they all about?
NEXT-LEVEL ACTIVISM: First, we went vegan, then we became activists, now we lobby for justice.
Our objective is to end the bailouts and subsidies to animal agribusiness. These taxpayer-funded programs disconnect animal exploiters from the usual laws of supply and demand. The lobbying organization, AFA, is raising a lobbying army to bring fairness back to the next farm bill.
Animal Ag subsidies undermine our vegan activism and vegan choices in the market place, and we will not stand for it. We used to think we were 'voting against animal ag' with our consumer dollars. The truth is this: while plant-based food businesses may be sensing our '$ votes', livestock producers are largely disconnected from the signals we are trying to send through what we thought was a free market. And so they keep overproducing into chronic oversupply, no matter how many plant-based burgers we buy.
We vow to fight these anti-capitalist billion-dollar bailouts. We hire full-time lobbyists on capitol hill to bring justice and fairness to farm policy - for vegans, for the planet, and for the animals.
What type of activism do they do?
Vegan Justice League hires lobbyists to push legislation through that will bring fairness to farm policy. We aim to end subsidies to animal ag, and establish pilot programs that will help animal farmers transition to sustainable and non-exploitative businesses, where they can be part of climate solutions, and no longer part of the problem.
VJL members typically invest $10 per month, but they can join for as little as $1 per month. 100% of member dues hire lobbyists in Washington DC through a lobbying alliance we've set up with environmentalists, free-market libertarians, food equity advocates and animal rights groups. To fight the animal ag lobby we need members, and we need an alliance. We're building it all, and your support is crucial.
In addition to federal lobbying, Local VJL chapters lobby their reps to support VJL federal legislation. They lobby state, county, and city governments to bring vegan justice to laws everywhere. Lastly, they educate and activate vegan activists to get political - and take vegan outreach to all governmental halls of power.
