In 2024, I had no idea what I was doing as a Vegan street activist.
Out of the 31 discussions I had, only 1 involved a commitment to Veganism. 0.03%. Not enough.
I felt worthless. I needed to do something more effective.
In 2025, my new year’s resolution was to focus on a single experiment:
“Host one Cube of Truth every month and measure the effectiveness of this style of activism.”
I know showing the Truth is effective. I watched Dominion and went Vegan.
I was less sure about whether or not Anonymous for the Voiceless’ methods of creating Vegans were effective.
An Anonymous for the Voiceless (AV) Cube of Truth goes like this:
Show bystanders the Truth.
Put Non-Vegans in their victim’s position.
Hold Non-Vegans Accountable.
Call the Non-Vegan to Act.
I needed to put these AV principles to the test.
⠀
In 2025, I became an AV Organizer and changed my life.
I outreached 207 people across 12 Cubes of Truth in three different cities.
I got 34 people to commit to living Vegan.
I got 4 people to do Vegan activism immediately.
I leveled up my Vegan activism using principles that just work.
Using the AV Flowchart, I got 16.8% of people outreached to commit to living Vegan. A huge increase from last year and a personal VEGAN VICTORY!
I can’t follow up with every Vegan, but I know at least our conversations are remembered and some animals are being spared.
I met 23 new Vegan activists across three cities!
Joining a large international organization like AV unlocked fun networking I didn’t expect. I can easily meet fellow Vegan activists by coordinating a Cube of Truth and post-social with their local AV chapter!
I taught the AV Outreach Masterclass.
Paul, Co-Founder and Director of AV, is a great teacher. I’ve watched or listened to each of his Masterclasses multiple times.
I adapted his slides, recited them, presented it to 6 Vegans, and missed lots of examples...
It was good enough for other Vegans in my community to now know how to effectively defend animals. That’s a win.

To become an AV Organizer, the reading, application, and induction took me ~6 hours.
To set up two new AV TVs, add ~8 hours for reading, buying equipment, and building.
To organize each Cube of Truth, it takes me ~2 hours of work to organize the event, practice, transport, set up, write posts.
To teach the AV Outreach Masterclass, I spent 10 hours adapting the slides, 1 hour building a website to collect registrations, 3 hours writing daily emails for promotion, 2 hours on recital, and 2 hours teaching it.
To write VEGANWORLD.NOW, I easily spent over 160 hours. This year I studied other top performing newsletters, read a book on writing, and spent a tremendous amount of time updating the format and website. Please save Angus.

2025 Bonus Actions
I re-made a map of every Vegan option in Tallahassee, FL.
This was a useful lead magnet to get people to join TALLY VEGAN!
I revamped our local Vegan Facebook group.
I took it from having no recognizable identity or posts to having an identity with a clear Vegan message, and regular moderation and posting. This took ~10 hours. Sort of…
I hosted an in-person Vegan meetup for 53 local Vegans!
For every Vegan that showed, I donated $5 to Flying Pig Animal Sanctuary ($265). As a bonus, I also donated an extra $100!
It was awesome seeing some Vegans from the meetup volunteer at Flying Pig and attend the AV Masterclass!
To host a Vegan meetup, I easily spent over 120 hours. I learned and did far too much to put it all in this post.
Since I’m unsure if I will be able to repeat the work and success in 2026, I am writing a series of posts for you sharing everything I’ve learned!
2025——— - ~130 hours bonus

2026 Resolution
2025 was about experimenting with something new. I ran the year-long experiment, and I learned how to outreach Non-Vegans effectively.
I don’t feel worthless anymore. I do feel exhausted.
Still, 2026 will be about doubling down on what works, and proving it.
My 2026 resolution is to record and upload as many AV outreaches as possible.

What’s yours? I’m curious! Reply or comment how you plan on showing up in the Vegan movement in 2026.

P.S. Want to host a Vegan meetup but aren’t sure where to start? Reply or comment with any question and I’ll do my best to answer!
Dani, this is fantastic. You’re clearly such a good-hearted person, and I really admire your commitment to hands-on activism – and how carefully you document and reflect on it. It’s insightful and genuinely inspiring. The world needs more people like you!
I’ve also been involved in different forms of street-based vegan outreach, including AV cubes, and found them incredibly effective – especially when using VR to show the reality of animal agriculture. You don’t need expensive equipment either; even simple smartphone-based VR setups can work well.
I also found this step-by-step guide to vegan outreach very helpful, in case you haven’t come across it yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJpiVd0LuV0
Much love! Keep it up.
I would love to hear about how to host a vegan meet up!
