SIGN UP for Compassionate Activist Network (CAN) TODAY!
FARM’s volunteer program, Compassionate Activist Network (CAN), is a national action community for people who are ready to stand up for farmed animals and help end the use of animals for food. We bring people together, providing the tools, guidance, and support. All you need is a heart for animals and a willingness to show up. Together, we build a movement that is visible, welcoming, and powerful. CAN is where compassion becomes a real-world impact.
Why? Because animals need YOU. Because communities need better information. Because change doesn’t happen on its own.
When you join CAN, you become part of a national effort to:
- Normalize plant-based eating and vegan living
- Educate the public about the realities of animal agriculture
- Support vegan families and young people
- Advocate for plant-based options in schools, workplaces, and institutions
- Show up for animals through peaceful, positive, and effective action
Every conversation matters. Every action counts. Click here to sign up for CAN.
There is no single “right” way to be an activist. CAN is designed to meet you where you are and help you grow. You can:
- Host or join outreach, tabling, and leafleting actions
- Help with FARM programs like MeatOut, World Day for Farmed Animals, Vegan Earth Day, and more
- Organize book donations or educational displays at schools and libraries
- Advocate for plant-based options in your community
- Support vegan families and youth
- Assist with events, logistics, photography, writing, social media, or design
- Start something new with FARM’s guidance and support
Whether you have one hour a month or ten hours a week, there is a place for you here.
One of the most important parts of CAN is community. We are building a dedicated online space where you can:
- Connect with other activists
- Share ideas and successes
- Ask questions and get support
- Learn from others across the country
- Find opportunities to get involved
You’ll be invited to join our CAN Discord Server, where the community lives and grows. This is where collaboration happens and where activists support each other in meaningful ways.
