BE COUNTED!

TAKE THE

PLEDGE

It's free!

Vegan Australia is encouraging all vegans in Australia to stand up and BE COUNTED. Take the Vegan Pledge to show that you are part of a growing vegan social movement striving for a more just world.

Take the Vegan Pledge and be counted!

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.

THE PLEDGE

Vegan diet

I ensure that my diet consists wholly of plant foods, with no products derived from animals.

Vegan way of living

I do not use or consume, as far as is possible and practicable, any products of animal exploitation, for clothing, cosmetics, entertainment or any other purpose.

Vegan principles

I adhere to the principle that our fellow animals have the right to be treated with respect and justice and should not be commodified or treated as property.

Yes, I am vegan and I want to be counted.
