Campaign To Encourage People To Go Vegan For January Will Launch In The US

Veganuary — the popular UK campaign to encourage people to go vegan for January — is to launch in the US in 2020.

Veganuary inspires and supports people to ditch all animal products for one month as they start the New Year. The organization partners with brands, businesses and retailers to spread awareness of the campaign, and to offer special offers and discounts to those taking part.

Vegan celebrities also join in the campaigning each year, such as Mayim Bialik, Alicia Silverstone, and Joaquin Phoenix.
