The <a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/press\/2024-us-baltimore-md\/\">groundbreaking proclamatio<\/a>n cites environmental, health, economic, and animal protection reasons for choosing to officially support Veganuary city-wide, as it paves the way for more American cities to prioritize fostering \u201cresilient, sustainable, and healthy\u201d communities for their citizens in the future. This proclamation was requested by Black Veg Society and Veganuary, with support by DefaultVeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the proclamation, Mayor Brandon M. Scott <a>proclaims<\/a> \u201c<em>the month of January as \u2018Veganuary\u2019 in Baltimore, and urge[s] residents, restaurants, retailers, and institutions to explore and continue to add plant-based options by default.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the document, Mayor Scott cites the importance of switching to plant-forward eating to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change. He states that heart disease, stroke, and diabetes are the leading causes of death in Baltimore, MD and beyond \u2013 and notes that vegans can have reduced health risks. The proclamation points out that animals in factory farms are often caged and denied their natural needs. It also highlights that Baltimore\u2019s diverse restaurants, grocers, and farmer\u2019s markets increasingly deliver vibrant, healthy, and plant-based foods, a lot of that effort being spearheaded by Black Veg Society\u2019s Maryland Vegan Eats. The mayor also highlights Baltimore\u2019s Vegan Soulfest that continues to have an exponential number of attendees (16,000 in 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, Baltimore ranked in the top ten cities nationwide for number of signups to Veganuary, the global campaign that encourages people to try vegan in January and beyond. A new study conducted by YouGov on behalf of Veganuary reported that 71%* of all US adults are hoping to eat more vegetables in 2024. Veganuary is working with brands and restaurants nationwide to help meet this demand with more inventive preparations of meat and dairy alternatives, more plant-based dishes, and more choice overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Baltimore, <a href=\"https:\/\/landofkush.com\/menu\/\">Land of Kush<\/a>, a longstanding favorite, kicked off Veganuary with an anniversary party featuring specials, new menu item samplings, and a resident artist unveiling. Other Veganuary specials include <a href=\"https:\/\/andpizza.com\/\">&amp;Pizza,<\/a> which is adding two new vegan menu options featuring Daring Chicken, and others city-wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Black Veg Society and Maryland Vegan Eats are looking forward to this collaboration with Veganuary. With Baltimore Mayor Scott&#8217;s proclamation, I&#8217;m sending many blessings that the city will pledge to go vegan in January and support local vegan and veg-friendly restaurants as well as those around the state of Maryland. You can even challenge yourself to learn how to cook a healthy, vegan meal at home by watching a cooking demo online. Please reach out to us for guidance,\u201d <\/em>says <a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/press\/2024-us-baltimore-md\/\">Naijha Wright-Brown<\/a> of Black Veg Society and Land of Kush. <em>\u201cWe need to open the dialogue throughout our communities about health disparities, access to nutritional foods, environmentalism, and compassion for animals, especially in predominantly BIPOC ones. We will continue to partner with vegan and veg-friendly restaurants while organizing our celebratory events such as the bi-annual Maryland Vegan Restaurant Month in March and August, the annual Vegan SoulFest, and more.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veganuary aims to help people who are curious about eating vegan by providing free recipes, shopping tips, restaurant guides, and meal plans.
