Thank you all for supporting Vegan Change Makers!

It has been a true pleasure and an honour to serve as your event organizer, and I am so grateful to the dedicated team who have consistently shown up and spoken up for animals. What started as a small effort to bring people together for outreach grew into something really meaningful.

This past weekend marked my final event with VCM and it could not have been a better send-off. I feel a mix of pride and bittersweetness as I prepare to graduate and leave the island, but I’m confident I’m leaving this chapter in very good hands. I’m looking forward to continuing to support from afar as Tosh Sou and other committed volunteers carry this work forward in Victoria. Our fundraiser is already doing well, and I have no doubt the team will raise what they need to keep organizing impactful events.

Outreach in the public square is an essential part of any social justice movement. With respect to non-human animals, animal abuse is so deeply embedded in our culture and economy that people must see footage, whether they like it or not, to understand the victimhood of non-human animals and the cruelty of their exploitation. Hundreds or thousands of people are deeply affected by our demonstration at every single event, and this presents us with that many opportunities to change their hearts and minds. Even at our last event, a couple told me they understood our message and wanted to go vegan for the animals. Moments like that are a reminder that this work truly reaches people, and that we must press on, for the animals.

Thank you for the friendships, the conversations, and the shared commitment to advocacy. Keep up the amazing work, keep the conversations going, and stay strong!

Please donate to Vegan Change Makers to raise funds for equipment!

Our Victoria chapter needs funds for a new TV to continue hosting outreach events. We will be losing the current equipment once our current organizer relocates for work next month. As new volunteers step into organizing roles, we are committed to continuing regular outreach. But we need your help to make that possible.

Our $2000 goal covers one new TV (with sun-resistant technology), a protective carrying bag, and ideally a cart for transport. Any remaining funds will go towards printing outreach materials.

With your support, we can continue creating meaningful, educational interactions within our community. Every contribution helps us keep these important conversations going.

Please consider donating to or sharing the GoFundMe linked in this post. For further information, please see the Vegan Change Makers page or contact the organizer of this fundraiser, Paul Fader.

Thank you for your support!

Sometimes you just get rained on doing street activism, but today’s turnout made it all worth it! 🌧️💪

We had 12 dedicated volunteers show up despite the weather, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I only wish we’d had a sunny day to make full use of everyone’s energy, haha. Still, as one of our wise volunteers reminded me, even in the rain, people are deeply affected when they see our footage and witness a strong, compassionate group standing up for non-human animals.

We also took the opportunity to exchange ideas and plan new events, so stay tuned! I’m already thinking about hosting our next outreach as soon as November 9th.

Thank you to everyone who came out and stood strong for the animals. Let’s keep their perspective in mind and continue building momentum.

For the animals,
Paul F.

TV Outreach for the Animals is back in Victoria!

Our latest event was a tremendous success. We were joined by several amazing new volunteers, hundreds of bystanders witnessed the reality of animal suffering, and our outreachers engaged in dozens of meaningful conversations with curious onlookers.

Many people agreed with the core principles of veganism — and a few even decided to go vegan on the spot. We also met several fellow vegans who were inspired and uplifted by our demonstration. One of them shared that it was a TV outreach event just like ours that originally inspired her to make the change herself.

TV Outreach is one of the most powerful tools we have as animal rights advocates. It’s our way of giving visibility to those who are silenced and reminding the public of non-human animals’ fundamental right not to be property — and therefore not to be exploited or killed for human consumption.

Let’s keep this vital form of activism thriving — for the animals, and to preserve our charter-protected right to perform it. ❤️🐄🐖🐔

I’m disappointed that I won't be here in Victoria this summer to organize outreach, but you don't need me! We have an incredibly community of animal rights activists who will no doubt make the most of the months ahead, and they could surely use your support. Defend the animals by joining Vegan Change Makers or DxE Victoria at their upcoming events!

Public outreach is an essential part of any social justice movement. Inspiring even one person to go vegan can save thousands of animal lives; taking a confident and striking stance for animal rights ensures that their suffering remains a topic of public discourse; and standing in solidarity with fellow vegans unites and empowers our cause.

I'll be doing plenty of outreach this summer in Vancouver, and I’m excited to return to Victoria in late August to hit the ground running with VCM!

Take care and stay strong,
Paul F.

Another amazing outreach event in the books! With the weather getting better, so are our events—and we couldn’t be more excited for the events to come. It’s always inspiring to connect with like-minded people, raise awareness, and advocate for the animals. Every conversation makes a difference!

A special thank you to Tosh Suo for visiting us in Victoria and for capturing such powerful moments—your photos truly reflect humanity’s gut response to animal violence and exhibit the impact that our demonstrations have on bystanders.
