Hello FAST folks!
Latin Vegan Summit is pleased to present the first animal rights conference aimed at activists in the Latin American region. Encuentro por los Animales ExA CDMX 2024 will take place in Mexico City from October 4th to 6th

Our vision is a Latin America where all animals’ rights are recognized and defended. We believe that we can create the desired change in the region through community, education and campaigns.

 

As a team, we have envisioned this much-needed space for our community in the movement. We have been working on this nonstop for a while, and we’re so excited for you to check it out and help us spread the word with your organizations and contacts in Latin America. If you’d want to support or collaborate for the following years, get in touch with us at contacto@encuentroanimal.org.

We’re so happy to be able to provide a small number of grants for activists who want to attend but cannot afford the full travel and accommodation costs. The applications opened on June 17th and will close on July 5th. You can check out the website for more information about it, and whoever wants to apply will be able to find the form there as well!

Cities across Europe are stepping up for climate, health, and animal protection. Alcorcón, El Masnou, and Parla in Spain, Grenoble in France, and Campolide in Portugal have recently endorsed the call for a global Plant Based Treaty to cut food emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. Their commitments include: * Piloting plant-based meals in public dining halls and city facilities, and banning land use changes for animal agriculture (Alcorcón) * Requiring at least 50% plant-based catering at municipal events (El Masnou) * Prioritizing plant-based food in public procurement and developing a local sustainable food strategy, including plant-based menus in school cafeterias, day centres and residencies (Parla) * Increasing plant-based options in canteens and at events, and promoting initiatives such as Veganuary (Grenoble) * Organizing community-based plant-based cooking workshops and running educational programs in schools to raise awareness of food system impacts and encourage dietary shifts (Campolide)   To date, 45 cities globally have endorsed the Plant Based Treaty, and with your support, our teams are transforming food policy one city at a time as we build momentum to secure our first country endorsement.
