As vegans living a plant-based lifestyle we are all on the same team spreading the same message. No matter your perspective or vantage point, we are all here to create good in this world.

The efforts of these organizations should not go unnoticed. We want to highlight some of the organizations out there that are powerhouses in the plant-based spaces. Some of the ones that are doing such amazing things to make our world a better place.
