Kudos ~ Vegan Action

Vegan Action is celebrating 20 years of the Certified Vegan logo. It is not only the first in North America, it is also the most recognized and trusted in circulation. Nonprofit Vegan Action, started by three University of California students in 1995, is working to eliminate animal suffering, reduce environmental impacts and improve human health.

Vegan Action now has a staff of 10 in Richmond, with an expanded outreach to people all around the globe, making the world a better place for animals, the environment and our health. Their many educational programs over the years have continued to grow, and the program to label vegan products for easy shopping has garnered some of the greatest support and appreciation.
