OLIVE stands for Our Liberation In Vegan Ethics

We are a community committed to the shared struggles for liberation for everyone—all sentient beings from human to non-human animals.

Thank you Clementine Morrigan for these powerful words!

We see veganism as a way of relating to non-human animals as sentient beings, as mothers and fathers, and as people we share this earth with. It’s never about diet nor personal choice. How we treat beyond-human animals comes back to how we treat each other and nature. Oppose the atrocities. Center animals, not vegans.

Multiple liberatory projects can coexist together, and there are always common grounds to cultivate. They don’t need to compete (or as some call it oppression Olympics).

We know people can get very defensive when they hear the word, veganism. At the heart of it is anti-oppression, Animal Liberation, and deep love for all sentient beings.

Let's continue to build with love, respect, honesty, accountability, and curiosity 💚✊🏽🐾

WE GOT A NEW-ish ZINE!

Updated the one we made last year with a more focused Total Liberation content ✊🐾🐣🌱

Here's an IG version, but you can find paper zines whenever you see us in person!

For anyone interested in printing these out yourselves, email us at [email protected] and we'd be happy to send over the formatted-to-print pdf/word docx version!

We defined Total Liberation in a way that felt right to us, but also drew on this reading: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/total-liberation-anonymous-english

Special thanks to APEX Advocacy for important analyses and resources, including the wonderful interview between Connie (Connie Spence, vegan advocate and US food system expert) and Yvette 🌿🪶🌈🇵🇸🇨🇩🇸🇩 (Yvette Baker, APEX Advocacy Executive Director)

Also to Vegans for Palestine for resources on how the heck (our word) Israel became the vegan capital of the world?! We didn't have space to put the contents into this zine but your informational doc is linked!

This event is almost at full capacity! You don’t want to miss out. Only two weeks from now!

More than conversations, this event is about coming together as a diverse but united community and supporting important work on the ground!

📆 Wednesday, July 22
⏰ 5:30pm doors open | 6:00pm Land Acknowledgement & Opening by Elder Jim
📍Trinity Grace United Church
803 E 16th ave, Vancouver
🎟️ RSVP link in bios: and OLIVE Collective

Join our 6th AFCafe for this thought-provoking and insightful discussion alongside a plant-based meal (Mariam’s Lebanese Cuisine) and good company.

What does it mean to live with right relations? What can we learn from traditional, ancestral, and spiritual wisdom to transform our ecocidal systems toward ones that nourish life for seven generations to come? Through conversations connecting Turtle Island and Palestine, this event invites you to explore food relations that not only feed our bodies, hearts, and souls, but also care for the land and other lives, nurturing ecological and cultural continuity and bringing us closer in the path of liberation.

Maybe it’s time we find a name for the crimes against non-human animals. If a name could get things clear, move people, change systems.

Is it another form of genocide? a mass killing of an entire kind but so depraved that they’re bred back into existence and not even allowed to disappear? 🥀💔

Female bodies are not sites of exploitation! Veganism is also a feminist issue!

On International Women's Day (March 8) and everyday, we stand in solidarity with all women, girls, and female individuals of all species! This year, we continue to raise awareness about the dairy industry, which sits prominently at the intersection of colonialism, speciesism, and the commodification of mothers/female bodies.

As part of our dairy truth outreach, we will be inviting pedestrians to watch a short video about the brutal realities of animal agriculture and the dairy industry, and giving away delicious milkless chocolate from Zimt, a local ethical vegan chocolatier.

Join us for the outreach! No prior experience needed.

🕛 Sunday, March 8 at 12:00 - 14:00
📍 Robson Square

As always, feel free to join us for food after 💕

Plant-based consumerism doesn't save animals - this idea that we often encounter in vegan spaces is naive at best, and a manifestation of a vegan hero complex at worst.

Boycotts alone will not bring forward liberation for all if veganism continues to be viewed as a personal consumerist endeavour, rather than a part of a larger anti-oppression framework.

Sharing with many thanks to for bringing awareness about Veganuary's complicity.
