How to Spread Vegan Propaganda

Propaganda is usually seen in the negative, something put out by an authoritarian group or figure to win the public over to a warped position. However, you can reclaim the term "propaganda" and make it positive by spreading the vegan message.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Talk to people about being vegan. As simple as it is, speech is still the best way of spreading the word. Sharing your personal ideas about being vegan can cause more real change in the world than any mass media campaign. If you're clear, realistic and kind in expressing your ideas, people will believe in them.

2. Share influential literature. Pass on books or other publications containing vegan-positive messages to at least one more reader. Make sure the reader is ready for the literature you have to offer. A copy of "Why Vegan?" may be better for someone unfamiliar with vegan ideas than a copy of Carol Adams's "The Sexual Politics of Meat."

3. Wear your heart on your sleeve by finding vegan-themed clothes. The best vegan propaganda incorporates humor, which can get non-vegans thinking about veganism. A good place to start your search for vegan-themed clothing is Herbivore Clothing, which has a range of women's, men's and children's clothing available online.

4. Design and sport vegan tattoos. If you are truly committed to a vegan lifestyle, illustrate it through your tattoos. Tattoo "Vegan" on your forearm to start up a conversation about your lifestyle. You can be more radical with an animal liberation tattoo. Wearing your ideas on your body will get out the word about veganism.
