We are urging hospitals and schools to switch to a vegan menu for the earth, for our health and especially for the animals.
Here's how you can make an impact:
Take Part in a Letter Writing Campaign
Use one of our pre-written letter writing templates to contact hospitals and schools in your community to encourage them to transition to a plant-based menu. Feel free to adapt them or speak about your own experiences to add a personal touch.

Must See Documentaries
What the Health is the groundbreaking follow-up to the award-winning documentary Cowspiracy. The film exposes the collusion and corruption in government and big business that is costing us trillions of healthcare dollars, and keeping us sick. It is a surprising, and at times hilarious, investigative documentary that will be an eye-opener for everyone concerned about our nation’s health and how big business influences it.
Directed by Oscar®-winning filmmaker Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic, and Chris Paul, The Game Changers follows the quest of elite special forces trainer and winner of The Ultimate Fighter James Wilks as he uncovers the truth behind the world's most dangerous myth: that meat is necessary for protein, strength and optimal health.
Forks Over Knives features leading health experts Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional biochemist from Cornell University and co-author of the China Study, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, a former top surgeon at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic and author of "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease". Campbell and Esselstyn both grew up on farms, believing that animal protein was healthy but soon changed their beliefs in the face of mounting scientific data.
Food Choices is a treasure chest of valuable information regarding health, ethical, and environmental benefits of a plant-based diet.

Featuring interviews with 28 world-renowned experts, including Dr. T Colin Campbell, Joe Cross, Capitan Paul Watson, Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Pam Popper, Dr. Michael Greger, Rich Roll, and Dr. Richard Oppenlander.
