Last month, we announced the debut of our newly redesigned website and domain - www.vegansocietyofpeace.org. We're very excited about this transition! Content will continue to be added and we now have a website which can grow right along with our community organization. We hope our new site proves to be a great resource for you. Your feedback is always welcome and appreciated.

We also wish to thank everyone who supported our Annual Vegan "Gentle Thanksgiving" Event in November, and our Vegan Holiday Celebration Event earlier this month. We also wish to recognize the efforts of our hardworking, dedicated volunteers and supporters who make our yearly events and outreach possible. Society of PEACE will have even more volunteer team opportunities in 2010 and we invite you to get involved.  

We've had some great Society of PEACE highlights this past year, which you'll see in an upcoming 2009 summary. On a global scale, there has been an incredible amount of news coverage on ethical vegan living, animal rights issues and environmental concerns. More and more vegan products are becoming available in stores. Major news media have aired repeated undercover video from inside factory farms and slaughterhouses. Even popular TV host Ellen DeGeneres has featured her personal vegan chef on several episodes of her show. Another great year most certainly lies ahead! 

We are excited to welcome in the New Year and continue our mission to advocate for nonviolence, ethical vegan living and compassion. Each of us possesses the power to be a voice for the animals, the earth, compassion and peace. We hope to inspire and empower YOU to be that voice in your daily lives!
