VegMichigan is doing great work getting people to go plant-based or to move towards a plant-based diet. Last month alone we hosted presentations and gave away free plant-based food to hundreds of individuals at events with The Humane Society of Huron Valley, the Washtenaw County Democrats, SHARE Detroit, the University of Michigan Sierra Club, Madonna University, Grosse Pointe Library, plus a holiday cooking class at Oryana Co-op, and other events. We now regularly participate in well over 100 events each year and we are changing hearts and minds everyday. Getting people to change their diets is a challenge, but our positive, nonjudgemental approach has shown to be successful. Your support will help us continue and expand our efforts. Please consider becoming a member or donating to VegMichigan this Giving Tuesday (or before!) Thanks to a very generous donor, your donations and memberships will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000! Thank you! |

Take Action: No More Factory Farms in Michigan |
|
|
|
Factory farms cause harm to thousands of animals who are living in extreme confinement, produce greenhouse gases, pollute the environment, and devastate communities. We have an opportunity to speak out to stop the construction of these destructive operations by emailing the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) during the public comment periods when permits are submitted for the development of new factory farms. Between now and November 11 public comments are being accepted for three pending factory farms. We urge you to take action by emailing EGLE and letting them know that Michiganders do not want any more factory farms built in our state and that we expect public hearings to be scheduled so that residents can voice their concerns. Share your public comments today!
