Welcome to V.I.D.A.
Who We Are
Our Mission
V.I.D.A inspires interest and engagement in the vegan movement by organizing innovative events and creating opportunities for activism. Our programs celebrate and strengthen San Antonio’s vegan community while encouraging everyone to consider more compassionate and sustainable choices.
Our Vision
We envision a peaceful world where human well-being and enjoyment align with respect for animals and protection of our planet.
What We Believe in
Collaboration
We seek partnerships and build coalitions with individuals, businesses,
and nonprofit organizations that share a common purpose. V.I.D.A 's team is comprised of a diverse group of volunteers – representing many of our community partners – and we each agree to bring our energy, skills, and resources to this project.
Creativity
We believe that artists and innovators have an important role to play in any movement for social change. As we make use of successful models from the past, we also experiment with new ideas and strategies in a continuous process of learning and doing.
Non-Violence
We oppose the killing, injuring and exploitation of living beings. Through
our actions as individuals and as a collective, we strive to produce the least harm and achieve the greatest good for our communities, other animals, and the environment.
Our Values
Equity
We affirm that veganism is for everyone, and we do the work of making our movement accessible, welcoming, and responsive to communities that have been marginalized. We practice veganism and advocate for animal rights in alliance with other social justice movements.
Empowerment
We believe that when people put their own values into action, they can
commit to positive and long-lasting change. Effective advocates provide the education, support, and resources that enable these powerful choices.
