We encourage you to consider two crucial things:

How can we actively build more Holistic Empathy in our communities?

How will you measure the impact and results of your action?

Let’s get started!

Here’s a list of ideas for putting empathy into action:

Note that some of the actions suggested below involve gatherings. Please follow the latest COVID-19 and physical distancing guidelines from your local public health agency before organizing or attending any gatherings. Consider organizing virtually in the meantime.

Research the most urgent issues in your immediate community and the world
Research effective advocacy initiatives, both historic and current
Venture beyond dominant news sources to find materials produced by investigative journalists, activist groups, and alternative media
Learn about fair trade and share ethical options with your network

Take the time to consider what sustainability and social and animal justice mean to you
Take time to consider how to dismantle systems of injustice that harm our fellow humans, our animal friends, and the environment
Identify needs in your community and brainstorm solutions
Carefully consider your purchases, including their journeys and potential conflicts

Create and implement workshops on holistic empathy (check out our resources for ideas)
Host a local vegan potluck with your neighbors
Organize documentary screenings followed by discussions
Volunteer your time for a non-profit organization

View education and knowledge as activism; start a book club with purpose
Harness the power of your social media accounts or online networks and strategize the messaging
Write an op-ed article
Organize writing campaigns to and meetings with government officials
Sign and create petitions for social, animal, or environmental justice issues
Evaluate your environmental footprint and consider solutions to reduce it and galvanize others to do the same

Start or participate in a community garden initiative with veganic farming
Renew the sharing and repairing economy; consider upcycling through tool-lending libraries, repair cafés, etc.
Organize a community clean-up
Plant trees and other flora while considering pollinators
Brainstorm and act on other ways to protect or renew our ecosystem
