We are everywhere! The People Project is intended to show the many faces of veganism. We ask that anyone who would like to be featured on
this page submit a photo with their first name, location, and any other info that you want to share to Join The People Project. Let the world see
that vegans come from all walks of life and can be anyone, and hopefully someday, everyone.

Meat free since 1991 and vegan since 2003. I'm vegan because I believe all animals experience pain the same as we do and should not be abused. I also recognize the great impact on both the planet and our health caused by a meat and dairy based diet.
