Though not directly leading me to veganism, my mother instilled in me the importance of doing whatever we can, even if modest, to ease the suffering of those less-fortunate and in pain. - David Gabbe

When I was twelve, I went hunting with my father and we shot a bird. He was laying there and something struck me. Why do we call this fun to kill this creature [who] was as happy as I was when I woke up this morning? - Marv Levy
Support EVEN
Here's how you can help EVEN continue its outreach. EVEN welcomes you to step right in and be part of the network.
The 2 main ways you can help EVEN
1. The main way you can support EVEN is to Go Vegan. This benefits the animals, the planet, and your own health, too!
2. You can also VOLUNTEER
I am thinking of the many who are still holding their sense of mercy in check for fear of social disapproval. I kept mine in check for too long. And each time I let it out, I felt the pressure to conform - true enough. What helped me? It was seeing others speak out, be ridiculed, and have the courage and inner certainty to speak out again and again.
If we can be desensitized to animals' pain, then we can also desensitize ourselves to being ridiculed and pressured.
- Judy Carman, American Writer (Peace to All Beings, Veggie Soup for the Chicken's Soul) and Activist
