You're doing incredible work for animals, but you also need to protect that work. Whether you're handling sensitive undercover footage or coordinating campaigns, a security breach could disrupt your operations, compromise your strategy, or damage your organization's reputation.

We recently got back from the Animal & Vegan Advocacy Summit (AVA) 2025 in L.A., and you know the drill – it's time to share our top takeaways so you can learn what we learned, even if you weren't there. Here are the three things that shifted our advocacy mindset this year.

We have some exciting news to share: Vegan Hacktivists has officially been recognized as an Environmental Partner of 1% for the Planet. This partnership connects us to a global network of over 4,800 businesses committed to donating at least 1% of their annual sales to environmental causes – but what equally excites us is what this recognition represents.

Advocacy is most effective when rooted in context. At AFAD 2024 in Hanoi, Vietnam, inspiring advocates from our movement shared insights on how tailoring strategies to reflect the audience’s context can unlock new opportunities to make an impact.

When it comes to deciding which platform to choose for building or moving your site, these two platforms come up in such conversations most often. If you're at a crossroads and unsure which platform to pick, you're not alone. In this blog post, we'll review the two platforms and see why one often comes out ahead of the other!

Going to AVA is like discovering a great vegan restaurant. And this isn’t about food. Stay with us. It’s about the experience. The second you leave either of these, you think to yourself, “Wow, I can’t wait to go back there again!” With the restaurant, it could have been the extensive menu that got you intrigued to return, or maybe some particular dish that you felt excited to order again. It could have been the vibe or the people the restaurant attracts.

Perhaps you're new to AI, or you've tried it without much success, or perhaps you're looking for ways to advance the way you use it. Either way, we've got you covered. Recently, our Executive Director James Morgan shared insights on this hot topic at the Vegan and Animal Rights Conference in Manchester, UK. We've outlined the top tips from his talk that you'll be able integrate into your daily advocacy today.

We've joined forces with ProVeg Incubator to find the most innovative and impactful AI ideas in our movement. Seeing AI ideas slowly emerge in our movement and knowing how the agricultural industry has already implemented AI in its operations, we realized it was time to step in and offer our support to level the playing field. We've been on the lookout for the movement's most creative minds to transform the food system and change the lives of animals.
