The holiday season is here! If you are going to spend money, it's nice to direct it towards some great vegan organizations or stores. I've put together a page with some Holiday Shopping Tips at this link.

November: Celebrate Turkeys Month

Thanksgiving Wish

One wish that I have for Thanksgiving
Is that we let these poor birds keep living.
A massive turkey killing spree
Is not "thanks", it's insanity.

By taking their lives, we grow numb
To just how thankless we've become.
A family feast for some, I know.
But one less chance to learn, to grow.

One wish that I have for this season
Is that ignorance cedes way to reason.
If giving thanks means some must die,
Then I'd rather go hungry than live a lie.
