Join us to strengthen our collective voice and accelerate our impact.

Where are all the Vegans?

The term ‘vegan’ has existed for over 75 years.

Yet, despite decades of compassionate advocacy and bold activism, only a small percentage of the world’s population identifies as vegan (according to recent global estimates). It’s a sobering reality. We know the benefits for humans, non-human animals, and the ecosystems we depend on. We have the passion and vision. We have the truth.

What opportunities are we missing?

What’s really holding us back

Vegans carry deep compassion and a vision for a kinder world.

Yet many still struggle to share their truth and why it matters, especially with those closest to them.

Conversations get tense. Eyes get rolled. Walls go up.

The Vegan Community is here to change that.

We’re building a space where vegans grow in confidence, speak with clarity, and connect with others through presence, food, and shared values.

Together, we’re leading the vegan movement.

Moving Mountains Together

The Vegan Community exists to unite and empower vegans to grow, connect, and inspire change.

Where every member has the potential to inspire the world around them.

Through education, connection, communication, and aligned action, we help vegans plant the seeds for a more compassionate future.

Here’s how we do it:

Education
Through courses, trainings, and workshops, you’ll learn how to communicate with clarity, navigate tough conversations, and inspire change in everyday life.

Community
Step into our Passion Pods: Theme-based groups where you can connect with others around shared interests, dive into rich discussions, and learn together.

Connection
Learn how to build trust, open conversations, and create meaningful impact in everyday interactions.

Resources
Access a growing library of tools, guides, and wisdom from leading vegan voices across the globe.

With your support, veganism can spread across the world

You’re passionate. You’re hopeful. You’re ready.

Join Us to Bring Even Bigger Dreams to Life

With your support, we’re taking bold steps toward a more compassionate future. By reaching the milestones below, we’ll equip thousands of vegans to inspire change in ways that feel grounded, personal, and lasting.

A Thriving Global Community

We envision a future where over 1 million vegans and allies connect through a shared, community-owned space. We're here to build real momentum for change, one meaningful conversation at a time.

Interactive Passion Pods

These small-group hubs are our heartbeat. Each one is guided by a dedicated leader and explores a focused theme, from vegan parenting to plant-based medicine to circular fashion. As we grow, so will these pods, creating deep, decentralized communities across the world.

Aligned Professionals

We’re building a trusted network of movement leaders, experts, and doctors who contribute workshops, mentoring, and real-world expertise. With every new professional who joins, our collective wisdom expands.

A Living Library of Resources

From practical toolkits to advanced advocacy guides, our goal is to grow a curated, ever-evolving library of 10,000+ resources. Each one is created to help you have grounded, honest, and effective conversations, at your own pace, and in your own voice.

Every Day Counts — How Many Opportunities Are We Missing?

Tough tactics have sparked important conversations.

But to move the needle further, we need to engage in new, inclusive ways.

The solution is to take advantage of the opportunities for compassionate advocacy that are around us all every day.

Relationship-based advocacy will change the world

Relationship-based advocacy is not about persuading friends and families, or about building new relationships with strangers to spread veganism (though both of those may happen!).

Instead, relationship-based advocacy teaches us how to plant seeds everywhere we go:

Helping your cat’s vet or your acquaintances at the dog park to connect the dots between loving pets and loving all animals
Encouraging your yoga studio, gym, choir, or book club to explore the benefits of veganism and offer more vegan choices
Making compassionate comments that spark curiosity in your doctor, waiter, cashier, plumber, or anyone else you come across

Imagine if every vegan planted seeds like this each day—soon, those seeds would bloom and grow into something powerful

And yet, how often are you silent in situations like these?

That’s what we’re here to change — for all of us.

A new strategy to achieve our shared dream

There are many beautiful spaces for vegans to connect.

The Vegan Community adds something different: Deeper support, skill-sharing, practical guidance, and spiritual grounding to help you support others on their journey, protect animals, and inspire healthier, more compassionate choices.

A day in the life of a member:

Real impact, near and far

You’ve learned the skills and are equipped with timely valuable resources. That clarity and confidence now help you inspire those you know, and those you meet, in ways that feel natural and grounded. You’re planting seeds that take root, wherever you are.

Supported and recharged

You’re part of a community that doesn’t just cheer you on, it helps you grow. You share challenges in real time, learn practical communication tools, and get peer support that strengthens your voice. Every interaction leaves you more prepared, more energized, and more resilient.

Honest, open connection

You’re part of a space shaped by aligned people on the vegan path who care, create, and collaborate. Here, you share ideas, build projects together, and watch real progress unfold. This is more than community. It’s co-creation with purpose.

Hi, I’m Peter, uniting the vegan world to turn our shared dream into action.

For years, I’ve worked with grassroots advocates who care deeply for health, animals, the planet, and our future. And I realized the real challenge isn’t just creating change, it’s making sure vegans feel connected, supported, and empowered to keep going.

That’s why I founded The Vegan Community : to unite us under one roof, so together we can strengthen our impact and build the vegan world of our dreams.
