Local Groups
Because being plant-based is better together. And honestly, who doesn't love a good meet-up?
It turns out one of the best places to find niche groups is through an awesome website called Meet Up! You can enter your location and what type of people you'd like to connect with (in this case vegans or plant-based folks) and the website will generate a list of existing local groups. How cool is that?

Organizations
Joining an organization is a great way to engage with the community, volunteer to assist with movements and/or projects you support and maybe even meet a few people! Here are few of the top vegan organizations and what they are all about.
Movement for Compassionate Living
About: This is an organization that promotes sustainable living practices and veganism. They support local vegan farms, local produce and land based societies.
About: Vegan Outreach is an organization that strives to end violence towards animals by encouraging people to go plant-based (we support this motion!). They have a massive student outreach, a 10-week to vegan support group and other resources to help ease the transition to a plant-based lifestyle.
About: This organization is striving to construct a compassionate food system that alleviates the exploitation and mistreatment of animals. Mercy for Animals visits factory farms, courtrooms and corporate offices to advocate for their cause.
About: Farm Sanctuary strives to end factory farming abuse and bring awareness to farm animals. They are the nation's largest farm animal rescue and protection program. Pretty cool!

Hi! My name is Cassady Black and I am a student in Georgia State University’s coordinated program for dietetics. I have been very passionate about health, wellness and nutrition for a long time, while I have been veg-curious for a short period of time. I also love to try my hand at blogging and content curation. My ultimate goal is to start a virtual business that allows individuals easy access to solid nutrition guidance and lifestyle change!
