Vegan Society of PEACE: People for the Earth, Animals, Compassion & Enlightenment

We are an independent, grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit community organization which educates the public on ethical vegan living, abolitionist animal rights advocacy, environmental responsibility, plant-based nutrition, world hunger solutions, peace and nonviolence (Ahimsa).  We are dedicated to promoting PEACE and Compassion for ALL sentient beings through education, outreach and advocacy.

Our headquarters is in the nation's 4th largest city -- Houston, Texas, and our membership base is global.  Since our formation in 2004, we continue to be an independent, 100% volunteer-run organization.  We greatly appreciate the support and generosity of our members worldwide. 

Our community organization actively works to create a peaceful world for ALL life on the planet.  Join us in creating a society of peace, where people care for the earth, work to liberate all sentient beings from exploitation and oppression, and endeavor to enlighten the world through a message of universal compassion and nonviolence!

With the support of our dedicated volunteers, we created and hosted the 1st Annual "VegFest Houston" in June 2011. This amazing, diverse, all-vegan community event was held right here in the nation's 4th largest city!  It is estimated that over 800 attendees came to the inaugural festival event in 2011, which featured vendors, musicians, nonprofits and guest speakers. VegFest Houston is the Premier Vegan Festival of Texas!

Our 2nd Annual VegFest Houston is June 9, 2012!  Thousands of attendees are expected from the Houston area and throughout Texas. Join us in promoting an ethical, compassionate and truly sustainable world for all! Visit our festival pages for details!

Our "Texas Veggin'-out Days" campaign, which we created in 2006, has now expanded to "TEXAS GO VEGAN WEEK"! Join us in celebrating and promoting ethical vegan living in Texas during the first week of October! This coincides with our World Vegetarian Day and World Farm Animals Day outreach. Several vendors will have special offers and we host special outreach and education events throughout the week.
