Vegan Publishers

Growing vegan awareness & promoting social consciousness one book at a time!

Vegan Publishers has been highly successful in fulfilling its mission, publishing, selling, and donating numerous books, with many of their authors becoming prominent voices in the animal movement. The imprint has over 340,000 social media followers and has participated in various activities to raise awareness, serving an important function within the advocacy community. The philosophy of Vegan Publishers is reflected in Dr. Taft’s approach to his work as a clinical researcher: determine what is missing in the literature and fill those gaps. This has meant that they sometimes produce books that are not necessarily very profitable, but serve an important educational function. While other publishers have focused exclusively on cookbook production, for example, Vegan Publishers has addressed the large void in vegan children’s literature, animal advocacy, philosophy, and ethics – and in doing so, illuminating the many ways in which we are culturally indoctrinated to do harm to nonhuman animals. The imprint has been operating under a “non-profit” ethos from the start as service, rather than profit, has always been their goal.

Real Kids Real Food

Enhancing the Farm to School program, Real Kids Real Food offers an exciting virtual experience-based program for ages 3-18 designed around four components: 1) preparing recipes and the benefits of healthy foods; 2) emotional wellbeing: chronic stress prevention and intervention; 3) disease prevention such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease; and 4) integrating these components with climate change and actions that can be taken to make a difference. Real Kids Real Food is taught by a certified health instructor with the support of many university interns in public health and/or education.

Arff Pet Care Home Sitting Services

Why should I consider hiring a pet sitter rather than boarding my pet? Boarding can sometimes be traumatic for pets due to them being taken away from their familiar habitat and being placed in an uncomfortable environment. Also, boarded pets may not get the individualized attention that they would receive from a pet sitter.

Last Hope K9 Rescue

We are dedicated to saving abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs from high-kill shelters in Central Arkansas and beyond. Though our rescue efforts are focused in the Central Arkansas area, we also serve as a resource for local dog surrenders, shelters, and special rescue efforts in other areas. We don’t discriminate on the basis of age, pre-existing medical conditions, or breed, because every dog deserves to know love.

As the literal “last hope” of the dogs we serve, our southern fosters pull dogs and puppies from partner shelters in Arkansas. While in foster, each dog receives love, care, and medical treatment, then receives a health clearance and transports to New England. After a mandatory 48-hour quarantine stay and an additional health clearance, each dog is picked up and fostered by a northern foster family who serves as a gateway to his/her adoptive home, affectionately known as a FURever home.

Mass Voters for Animals

MASS VOTERS FOR ANIMALS HELPS ELECT LAWMAKERS WHO WILL PASS HUMANE LAWS

Mass Voters for Animals works to elect the most humane-minded candidates to public office in Massachusetts so that these legislators can enact laws and policies to protect animals. We also work to defeat candidates who oppose enacting protections for animals and who seek to pass legislation that would harm animals.

By involvement in these campaigns, animal advocates can impact the  outcome of elections in favor of animal-friendly candidates. We can be  an identifiable voting block that will encourage more candidates to  recognize the importance of animal protection issues.

Pro-animal nonprofits, because of their charitable status with the IRS, are legally prohibited from electioneering activity (supporting and opposing candidates). A political action committee (PAC) is therefore uniquely needed to build a body of humane-minded elected officials in Massachusetts who will work to protect animals from neglect, cruelty and exploitation. Please join with us with this crucial effort.
