Ingrid Newkirk is the founder and president of PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the first international animal rights organization in the US, founded in 1980. PETA is the first to say there’s a lot more work to be done to reach a time when animals are liberated from human exploitation and abuse, but PETA wins victories every week, stopping travel companies from advertising rides on elephants and swim-with encounters with captive dolphins; ending animal tests by everyone from liquor and food companies to the federal government; helping clothing companies switch from animal skins to cruelty-free materials, and much more. They have the largest youth outreach program of any social movement organization, and conduct their society-changing activities to end speciesism via grassroots education, demonstrations, litigation, legislation, and welcome all hands on deck to bring about a just world for all living beings.

A shoutout to our sponsor, Complement. Developed by vegan dietitian Dr. Pamela Fergusson, and the NoMeat Athlete, Matt Frazier, Complement enables you to get your vitamin B12, vitamin D3, and the essential Omega 3 fatty acids (DHA & EPA) in an easy once-a-day spray. The good folks at Complement also have Complement Plus, a vegan vitamin capsule that includes all the nutrients in Complement spray, along with zinc, iodine, selenium, magnesium,and vitamin K2. Essential for blood clotting, healthy bones, and heart health, the only plant-food source of vitamin K2 is natto, an obscure, fermented soy food and one that is definitely an acquired taste (and smell).
