Here is what sets us apart:

Our large reach.

In 2024, we reached over 310,000 St. Louisans through Facebook and Instagram alone. That’s 1 in 9 St. Louisans, or nearly seven full Busch stadiums!

Our events.

We are the largest, most active animal rights organization in St. Louis, organizing over 30 events a year just in our St. Louis headquarters. These events are generally the largest and most impactful of their kind in the area.

Our mission.

St. Louis is a springboard for a much larger movement we are championing across the Midwest. Our goal? A fully vegan Midwest by 2056! We will not stop until every major metro area across the Midwest has a thriving animal rights community, building a world where all animals can live safe, happy, and free.
