I’m disappointed that I won't be here in Victoria this summer to organize outreach, but you don't need me! We have an incredibly community of animal rights activists who will no doubt make the most of the months ahead, and they could surely use your support. Defend the animals by joining Vegan Change Makers or DxE Victoria at their upcoming events!

Public outreach is an essential part of any social justice movement. Inspiring even one person to go vegan can save thousands of animal lives; taking a confident and striking stance for animal rights ensures that their suffering remains a topic of public discourse; and standing in solidarity with fellow vegans unites and empowers our cause.

I'll be doing plenty of outreach this summer in Vancouver, and I’m excited to return to Victoria in late August to hit the ground running with VCM!

Take care and stay strong,
Paul F.

Another amazing outreach event in the books! With the weather getting better, so are our events—and we couldn’t be more excited for the events to come. It’s always inspiring to connect with like-minded people, raise awareness, and advocate for the animals. Every conversation makes a difference!

A special thank you to Tosh Suo for visiting us in Victoria and for capturing such powerful moments—your photos truly reflect humanity’s gut response to animal violence and exhibit the impact that our demonstrations have on bystanders.

Winter may chill the air, but it cannot freeze the warmth of compassion nor the fiery pursuit for justice …

Thanks to everyone who spoke up for the animals last night! That was a solid outreach event.

A young couple said to me, “We had no idea this is what happens to animals. I don’t think we would have found out anytime soon unless you were here … thank you for the information … we’re convinced …we want to go vegan.”

These are one your ‘best case conversations’, where the bystander exhibits a genuine shift in their values and a commitment to putting them into action. The footage is powerful, we know, but it’s the reason why we can get such results so quickly.

We have at least one conversation like this at each event, but we’d certainly get more if we had more outreachers. This would result in more bystanders changing their values and actions, resulting in more animal lives spared from death and suffering, all due to a couple hours of talking.

Consider joining us at the next event and speaking up for the animals!

As always, please feel free to contact us, or Paul Fader, if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or criticisms. I want to know how the vegan community in Victoria can maximize its impact for the animals.

Last night’s outreach event was one to remember!

Dozens of effective conversations were had; several bystanders even expressed a verbal commitment to adopt Veganism.

One of our newer outreachers had phenomenal success by simply explaining that the brutal footage we show is of standard practices in animal agriculture. Very few people understand that we merely display the consequences of their food choices, which is why our presence, in public and unannounced, is an essential element to building a vegan world … stellar outreaching all around!

There are no outreach events booked until Sept. 27th, but stay tuned for DxE’s event schedule, as we have some important festivals coming up that ought to be protested.

Stay strong,
Paul F.

Stellar outreaching, everyone!

We had nearly 50 conversations in two hours, each one with a positive result. Several individuals expressed their commitment to adopt Veganism, and others thought to volunteer at future events!

Thousands of people see our footage at these summer events, and very few are aware of the ways in which animals are unjustifiably exploited. Our presence alone is enough to inspire later conversation and introspection, motivating others to advance or complete their journey towards a more reasonable and compassionate way of life.

Many thanks to our guest stars from the mainland, Ty Lauriente and Jasmine Khera 😁

We’ll see you at the next event on July 26th ✊

It was great meeting some new vegans yesterday - some veterans and others just getting started!

There is a role for everyone at any outreach event, no matter your skill level or comfortability.

If we can get a few more semi-regular volunteers in the mix, we would be a consistently strong voice for the animals. Let’s aim to meet our goal this summer!!

Another solid event at the visitors centre! Great thanks to the newcomers who decided to speak up for animal rights.

We’ll see you at the next one! The post is forthcoming, but the event will be on the evening of the 29th.
