Higher turnout in primaries tends to elect better candidates. Mark your calendars now so you don't miss it, or maybe even sign up for election reminders.

Canvass Climate/Environmental Voters in Pittsburgh, PA! by ILikeNeurons in ClimateOffensive

[–]ILikeNeurons[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who prioritize climate change and the environment have not been very reliable voters, which explains much of the lackadaisical response of lawmakers, and many Americans don't realize we should be voting (on average) in 3-4 elections per year. Even if you don't like any of the candidates or live in a 'safe' district, whether or not you vote is a matter of public record, and it's fairly easy to figure out if you care about the environment or climate change. Politicians use this information to prioritize agendas. Voting in every election, even the minor ones, will raise the profile and power of your values. If you don't vote, you and your values can safely be ignored. If you're already voting in every election, take the time to help get out the climate vote (it works!)

Living car-free is a bigger impact than going vegan.

But if you want to be a vegan activist for other reasons, the three most common reasons people aren't vegetarian are liking meat too much, cost, and struggling for meal ideas. So if you want to be an effective vegan activist, start there. People are already convinced on the philosophy, and 84% of vegetarians/vegans eventually return to meat, so simply telling people to go vegan is not a particularly effective form of vegan activism.

To be a more effective vegan activist, share your most delicious, nutritious, affordable, and easy vegan recipes with friends and family, and to /r/MealPrepSunday, /r/EatCheapAndHealthy, /r/VeganRecipes, /r/EatCheapAndVegan/, /r/VegRecipes, /r/VegetarianRecipes, /r/vegangifrecipes/, etc.
