World Vegan Day

Action Request:Celebration
Location:United States

NOVEMBER 1st IS WORLD VEGAN DAY

AN ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF ALL THINGS VEGAN!

World Vegan Day 2005 saw the launch of The Vegan Society's 'Typical Vegans' theme, where we asked vegans all over the world to help prove that anyone and everyone can be vegan. Hundreds of people sent in their photographs and a little bit about themselves and we created a huge picture gallery showcasing vegan diversity. Visit the gallery to read about the 14-year-old world-class diver who has been vegan since birth, the acrobat and clown who has been vegan for 28 years, the former Everton player who was vegan for most of his football career... If you'd like to share your story, there's still time - just visit WVD 2005 to read more and find out how.

If you want to proclaim your veganism to the world, take a look at the great 'Typical Vegan' merchandise available from our online shop and visit the downloads area for funky screensavers and animated cards. If you would like information about veganism and the work of The Vegan Society, visit our main website for all the vegan info you could ever want!

World Vegan Day 2006 promises to be bigger and better than ever before so watch this space for details. If you are planning your own event to celebrate the day, please send details to The Vegan Society and we'll add them to the site.
