- The Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale was voted “Veg Event of the Year” by VegNews Magazine. It has participation on six continents, has raised $120,000 for a diversity of charities, and has been covered by CNN.com and many other media outlets.
- Pay Per View was started two years ago as a way to induce people at events at which we table to watch disturbing but possibly life-altering footage of factory farms, hatcheries, and slaughterhouses. It is now a funded activity at VegFund.org and an advocacy component of Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM), Mercy For Animals, and other organizations.
Compassion for Animals is a 501(c)(3) all-volunteer, non-profit charitable organization.
