🤔 We don't have a simple answer to this (e.g., we don't tell orgs to change their mission statement if they're single-issued). Rather, we want orgs to be intentional & genuine about their DEI efforts. Our report goes into detail on how to figure this out: faunalytics.org/from-perform...

💡 Our interviews w/ org leaders confirmed that the movement is split on whether animal advocacy should be a standalone cause or instead align with broader justice issues. Some fear “mission drift", while others see alignment as essential to stay relevant and inclusive.

🔍 We found that social justice is often missing from core missions (e.g., only 20% of orgs mention it) & DEI is often forgotten about (just 22% of orgs have formal DEI workplace policies). Yet 43% have a program dedicated to social justice, suggesting one-off efforts.

But vegans tend to be friends with other vegans > omnis, so can we expect a strong peer influence 🫠? We have recs on how to conduct a social network analysis on veganism in our report!

Obv it's hard to say w/o a proper social network study tracking veganism. But advocates should consider peer groups: ppl are 11.8x more likely to quit 🚬 if their partner quits & 4.4x if their partner is a nonsmoker, while those w/ smoking partners are least likely to quit.

That's what happened to three Guatemalan students a couple of years ago (you can see the current lawsuit by

Thanks for making this one!

Can I be added too? 😊
