Million Vegan Grandmothers
As the Million Vegan Grandmothers and wisdom carriers, we gather to express our fierce love for our children and grandchildren and invite everyone to take our Homo Ahimsa pledge: “I pledge to honor and protect all the animals, peoples and Mother Earth herself by joyfully embodying and promoting an infinitely sustainable, cruelty-free Vegan lifestyle that heals the climate and restores right relationships in the true spirit of Homo Ahimsa for all generations to come.“ We, The Million Vegan Grandmothers and wisdom carriers, join together using the power of love–love for the children and grandchildren of all beings and for Mother Earth. Welcome are all people regardless of gender, age, and official grandmother status, who align with the values of veganism and this declaration. We affirm the right of all beings to live in a natural, toxic-free environment which allows all to thrive and to lead sacred, liberated, sovereign, and joyful lives. The power of our love is unstoppable. We do not allow this planet and all who live here to be destroyed. We are creating a vegan world of peace, freedom, and loving kindness for all.
