Veganism Is More Than What We Eat

by

I have said it before and I will most definitely say it many, many more times.

Veganism is more than what we eat.

While plant-based eating gets the most attention, a comprehensive and effective vegan lifestyle is about living in a way that seeks to avoid harm to animals in all areas of life.

Starting your vegan journey usually starts for most of us by swapping out meat and dairy, but it is important to acknowledge that compassionate living goes well beyond what is on our plates.

by

Earlier today, a group of us who organise vegan social events got together for a conversation about something that’s been on our minds for a while.

We care deeply about the community we’ve built and the spaces we co-create, and we know that with that comes a responsibility to make them safer, more welcoming, and free from the harmful patterns we see out in the wider world.

But now for the good news. Black Cat is back.
