Resources
This is a collection of documentaries, books, podcasts, websites, social media, and other resources to help you break paradigms and understand why veganism isn't just urgent — it's the most important thing we can do, and still just the bare minimum.
We also recommend reading the FAQ (frequently asked questions) and the FUQ (frequently unasked questions).
