Motivation for vegan activists

Scott | Posted on November 30, 2018 |

Intro

Being a vegan (especially an activist) can be challenging at times, so I wrote this post to help motivate and inspire others to continue fighting for animal rights, despite the difficulties it can sometimes present.

All rights movements in history take time to become the new paradigm, and are often met with resistance of some kind, but the truth, justice and love will win in the end!

I have included a collection of quotes, songs, videos and articles related to veganism and activism that have helped me, and may help others too.

If you haven’t done any activism as of yet I hope you give it a try, and if you already have, then keep up the good work!
