The Vegan Pledge is for all vegans, whether you've been vegan for a few days or your whole life.
We are asking every vegan in Australia to join the many others who have publicly confirmed that they follow the principles of veganism. Please take the time to take the pledge and be counted! Show that you are part of a growing vegan social movement striving for a more just world. You will strengthen Vegan Australia's ability to advance the vegan movement and its mission. This has a very important practical use: when we publicly advocate for veganism in our systemic and political work, we will be able to confidently say that we represent a large community of like-minded vegans. Together, we can truly make a difference.
When you take the pledge, you will also be able to write your own individual pledge explaining why you are vegan. This, along with your first name and state, will then be shared publicly to our Pledge Wall as a way for us to be counted and for others to see what drives us to be vegan. You can read the powerful statements other vegans have made here on our Pledge Wall.
This is not a pledge for money. We are asking all vegans in Australia to come together to be counted. As a collective, we can do great things. If you are not yet vegan, learn more here.
Vegan, so that my children, and their children can live in a kind future, free from harming animals, humanity, and the planet. A better world is around the corner, and we will be a part of this.
I don't want to hurt animals
I will remain vegan for the animals we share this planet with. It's time for humanity to progress. We no longer need to cause suffering in order for us to survive.
I became vegan first and foremost for the animals, which has lead me to a career in nutrition to support others who wish to live a kinder lifestyle.
I have finally awoken and my only regret is that it took so long.
For the animals
Vegan for 20 years & will never go back. It's never been easier! The quote that says it best for me is "when we can live happy, healthy lives without harming others, why wouldn't we?"
Veganism is the ethical principle to minimise suffering. This presupposes the continual education of inner workings of exploitative systems, and being held accountable for the impact of choices made. I pledge to uphold these values as long as I live.
Vegan Australia gives me hope! Keep shining your light of compassion and truth. I'm cheering you on.
