Exposing and Transforming Carnism

Our mission is to expose and transform carnism, the invisible belief system that conditions people to eat certain animals. Beyond Carnism is the first and only organization targeting the roots of the problem—the mentality that drives people to eat animals and to resist information that would lead them to change their behaviors—making our approach unique and pioneering.

We believe that meaningful change requires a two-pronged strategic approach, which entails weakening carnism and strengthening veganism. We weaken carnism by raising awareness of it and providing tools for moving toward a vegan lifestyle. We:
—produce high-impact video campaigns to expose new audiences to carnism
—engage with online media platforms to promote awareness of carnism
—author books and articles to legitimize veganism and broaden the conversation about creating a better world for all beings
—secure foreign-language contracts for our books, to ensure that they are available in as many languages as possible

Population(s) Served
Adults

The Center for Effective Vegan Advocacy (CEVA) strengthens veganism by increasing the impact of vegan advocacy worldwide. We improve the effectiveness of vegan advocates and organizations and help to build a more unified and resilient vegan movement.

Specifically, we:
-- provide in-person trainings to vegan advocates;
-- offer digital trainings, which include webinars, online workshops, and online courses;
-- provide an online resource center;
-- secure foreign-language contracts for our books for vegan advocates.

We believe that meaningful change requires a two-pronged strategic approach, which entails weakening carnism and strengthening veganism.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
