World Go Vegan Week (October 24th – 31st) is a celebration of compassion and a time to take action for animals, the environment, world hunger, and everyone’s well-being. This year is going to be extra special… and extra cheesy! World Go Vegan Week is sponsored by In Defense of Animals (IDA); their goal is to help make it even easier to be vegan and what better way than being able to order a quick and easy pizza- with delicious vegan Daiya cheese.
Eating vegan should be simple, fun, and accessible to every community. You can help with just a few minutes of your time by reaching out to your local pizzeria and asking them to offer a vegan pizza. One of the best aspects of restaurant outreach is that a single person can make a direct and lasting difference for animals.
It’s easy to participate, just ask your local pizza shop if they would offer a vegan pizza for the week of World Go Vegan Week. IDA is partnering with Daiya cheese and they have offered to provide a free sample of their cheese for the pizza shop to try. Daiya cheese melts, stretches, and tastes just like traditional dairy based cheese, and is growing a cult following among vegans. IDA will provide you with a letter and tips on how to approach the pizzerias. Remember, all it takes is one person to make a major difference in changing everyday restaurants into vegan-friendly havens.
If you would like to be part of spreading the pizza love in your community, please contact Hope Bohanec: hope@idausa.org 415-448-0058 or 707-540-1760.
