“If you look at the climate crisis or the violence of our food system and feel helpless, thinking ‘I wish there was something I could do’- you can. Right now. Sign up to try vegan this January.”
Actress, Presenter & Motivational Speaker
“I feel so healthy since going vegan 5 years ago and I feel grateful that my eyes were opened and made aware of what is going on around us! I know that there are many good people out there who want to be a part of the change!”

“Switching to a plant-based diet was one of the best decisions of my life – not only from an athletic perspective. I would recommend that everyone try it. Ideally right now in January.”
Director of Fry’s Family Food
“It’s been the best decision of my life. To know that I am contributing less to animal suffering of any kind makes me feel better as a person. And then to know that my values and my choices are now fully aligned has been amazing.”
Veganuary inspires and supports people all over the world to try vegan for January and beyond. Millions of people have already taken part.
