Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Action for Animals is an educational organization that works to promote positive change in the ways people view and treat animals. Because every animal has the right to live his or her life free from oppression and exploitation, AFA promotes a vegan diet and lifestyle -not using animals for food, clothing, entertainment, research, trade, or any other objectifying purpose-and vegan activism as the best way to take action for animals. During the pandemic, the organization's outreach methods were affected by COVID-19 restrictions. AFA anticipates and looks forward to continuing to increase the activity level of the organization in the upcoming year.
