Everyday Activism: Fun and Easy Ideas<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Living a vegan lifestyle is unique for each individual: there is no such thing as perfection, and we are all just trying our best. <\/strong>However, a huge part of going vegan is taking action for animals who are suffering at the hands of humans. PETA is constantly working on dozens of urgent campaigns online<\/a>, but you can also celebrate <\/em>the month! Be a Veganuary activist by planning your own activism at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalk The Town<\/mark><\/summary>\n

Simply pen your own animal liberation messages on the sidewalk or your driveway using sidewalk chalk. Take it a step further by grabbing an eco-friendly\u00a0chalk spray\u00a0to create temporary graffit<\/span>i art, or use\u00a0on<\/span>e of PETA’s stencils<\/a> to “paint” the snow. (Purchasing a PETA Activist Kit<\/a> will get you a pre-made “I am not a nugget!” stencil.) <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This fun activity will get your creative juices flowing, and it’s a great way to get kids involved<\/a> in Veganuary!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Host a Watch Party<\/mark><\/summary>\n

Invite loved ones over for a night of vegan appetizers<\/a> and Veganuary activism! Select one of dozens of animal liberation-themed films to share and discuss. We suggest “Dominion<\/a><\/em><\/strong>,” <\/strong><\/em><\/a>available on multiple platforms; “Breaking the Chain,”<\/strong><\/em><\/a> available here <\/a>or on YouTube<\/a>; “Unbelievably Vegan With Chef Charity<\/strong><\/em><\/a>” on HBO; “Seaspiracy”<\/strong><\/em><\/a> on Netflix; “Okja”<\/strong><\/em><\/a> <\/em>on Netflix;<\/span> or “The Game Changers<\/a><\/strong>“<\/em> on YouTube, but there are countless more options<\/a> to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
