It’s great that there is a growing number of vegan resources available but that also means an overwhelming amount of information to process. I created a list of some of my favorite vegan resources that I commonly reference or that helped me when starting my vegan process.

These videos are each about an hour and are some of the most comprehensive free resources you can access. I suggest starting with these videos as they will help you determine what you want to learn more about.
*The Best Speech You’ll Ever Hear and The Follow Up Q&A
This presentation is an ethics-based approach by Gary Yourofsky. He is known for his casual lecture style videos on Youtube and animal liberation activism. As a fellow Michigander I remember hearing about him prior to going vegan. Click here to learn more about Gary and his work in the vegan community through his organization ADAPTT.
