Animal & Vegan Advocacy (AVA) Summit

We work with specific Advisory Committees for each of our regional conferences. Our advisors are experienced movement representatives who give advice and guidance, facilitate our decision making around program and speakers, provide current knowledge, diverse perspectives, critical thinking and analysis.  Thank you so much to the members of our #Asia Advisory Committees for your #dedication, feedback, and invaluable insights! 💡 Learn more about us, our regional teams, and Advisory Committees: www.avasummit.com/whoweare #animaladvocacy #guidance #support

What's the AVA team up to this month? 🌈 🌱 🐞This month, Taylor Waters presented at Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, exploring how poet Mary Oliver's work speaks to the inherent animal experience, free from hierarchical judgment. Her talk delved into the intersection of #poetry and #ethics, highlighting how Oliver's reflections can transform our understanding and ethical obligations towards the non-human world, reminding us that "Attention is the beginning of devotion." 🌎Aside from working on new collaborations and preparing for the AVA 2025 events, Julia Reinelt moved to #SanFrancisco and is expecting her second son in August. Lots of changes! 🌄 There's more AVA International team updates on the horizon we can't wait to share with you... stay connected! Together, #weareava 💚🌱

"The whole reason our products exist in the first place is to end animal testing for #cosmetics.", said Hilary Pickles of LUSH. Hilary continues, "Our founders were very, very clear that we are not just going to be a soap store, but rather a soap box that we can stand on and talk about these things." 🎥 See the full AVA DC Fashion & Beauty session recording here: https://lnkd.in/gsAHSNVX #fashionindustry #endanimaltesting #fashion #beauty

We Attended AVA for the First Time as Violet Studios: Here Are 4 Things That Stayed With Us 🤞 A big reason that propelled Violet Studios into existence was the realization that not all advocates were aware of our design and branding services offered under our tech-focused sister org Vegan Hacktivists. Attending the Animal & Vegan Advocacy (AVA) Summit for the first time as Violet Studios reassured us that this move was well-needed and well-received by our fellow advocates too! ⬇️ Swipe through the photos to see our team's memories! As we begin working with the advocates we met at AVA 2024, we can't wait for the next AVA and all the wonderful, inspiring experiences it brings. Where do you draw inspiration for your advocacy? Let us know in the comments! 👇✨

My presentation from the Animal & Vegan Advocacy (AVA) Summit is now live on YouTube! The focus of my talk is practical applications of AI for non-technical animal advocates, providing a step-by-step approach to implementing AI in animal advocacy.
