Veganism and Politics

Veganism and Politics brings together political representatives, policy experts, campaigners and movement leaders for a relaxed, lively conversation about how veganism can shape policy. The panel will explore political candidacy, policy work and other forms of leadership, while addressing why many vegans remain hesitant to engage with politics.

Panellists from political, professional and campaigning backgrounds will discuss opportunities to influence legislation, institutions and public priorities without losing sight of movement values. This conversation aims to bridge the gap between vegan activism and political decision-making, inspiring more people to step forward, collaborate and help place animal justice on the public agenda.
