It's May the 4th. My "birthday".
I haven't had a single day off in 2026. Not because I feel forced. Because I have to. Because it is truly an honor and a privilege to fight for the most innocent.
🐷
I just finished our tour visiting about 30 universities across the country. Together and with your support, we impacted tens of thousands of people!
For my birthday, I don't need a cake. I don't need a celebration. I don't need gifts. I have everything I need. There is no object I want to add to my life.
All I want is animal liberation.
🐷
This has been a strange year, to put it lightly. Between everything happening in my home country and the weight of watching my mother suffer, there were moments that could have broken anyone. But not a single day passed where our mission at ASAP wavered.
The animals don't get a pause, so neither do I.
🐷
Ever since I reached the age of reason, I felt out of place. Even before going vegan, my heart would break anywhere I looked. I used to tell my parents they shouldn't have brought me into this world.
When I became vegan, I found the biggest system of oppression that exists in our moral and legal blind spot. I can never fit into a world where people kill innocent beings. But now that I'm here, I'm not going to fit in. I'm going to fight. I will change the world or die trying.
🐷
Some of the students we've reached are now pursuing PhDs in alternative proteins. Others are heading to medical school and law school with animals at the center of their life's work. Some have become unstoppable forces for animal rights in ways I could not have predicted when I first met them.
➡️➡️➡️ Animal liberation is the hill I will die on.
Every heartbeat and calorie I have goes to animals. And this birthday, I'm asking you to stand with me.
🐷
I founded ASAP because I saw a gap no one else was filling. All the influential vegans and game changers you know? Most of them got here by accident. A random book. A random YouTube video. A conversation at the right moment.
With ASAP, that's not random anymore.
Every student ASAP inspires will become a multiplier of impact.
➡️➡️➡️ My BIG ask
You have already been so kind to me with your support. But I'm asking you to increase your gift, even if it's marginal for you. Even if it's the cost of a cup of coffee a week ☕

Right now, monthly donations are being matched 6 times. A one-time gift is matched 3 times. Please give less, but give monthly. And if you are already a monthly donor, please consider a small increase today. Whatever you can spare.
🐷
I couldn't care less about my birthday. But as you've probably noticed by now, I will use any excuse to ask for help for the animals 🙈
Thank you for standing with me.
May the 4th be with you ✌️
