I love the Food Empowerment Project because it calls attention to all the issues involved with food justice. They care about the people who grow our food, the animals whose lives are taken for our food; the environment that suffers for our food production. And even better, they share with the public practical ways to ensure that children, adults, animals and the earth are not exploited for our food. What a win/win solution to a complex set of challenges. This is the only group I know of that connects the dots to see and find solutions for the big picture in ethical food choices.

The Food Empowerment project connects the dots and shows the relationships between and among humans, animals, and the earth. They show that our behaviors toward any of these affects each of the others. They call on businesses and individuals to do right by their employees, their communities, their planet. FEP holds citizens of the earth accountable for the damage we do to one another and to our planet. The encourage respect and dignity and kindness in everything we do. I do not know of any other group that sees the whole picture this clearly and does such good work across the board on behalf of people, animals or our dear home planet.

I work with people trying to change to a healthier diet. Food Empowerment Project helps me show these people the other, huge benefits to the world when they become more conscious of their food choices.

The Food Empowerment Project is the only group I know that works on behalf of workers, the land, and animals. WIth respect for the source of our food, the people who grow and harvest our food, and the animals routinely killed for food, this group educates, inspires, and helps foster a more compassionate world.

The Food Empowerment Project has a broad view of all the related issues and connects the dots so we can all see our part in the world's food systems. Their work is unique and invaluable.

The Great!

When I share the perspective of Food Empowerment Project with my students, they can see their role and their power in the way food is procured. Many people have changed their eating habits (including me) thanks to this organization's work

I wish I could find them tremendous funding! We need to support groups like this. Billions of lives depend on them.

I am impressed with FEP. This organization succeeds at empowering people to bring about positive change on all of the following issues: human slavery, animal suffering, climate change and other forms of environmental damage, public health, and worker rights. It's a breathtaking range of issues, but the connections are there, and FEP brings those connections to light.

A hard-working and visionary group. They strive to cover as many related and interconnected issues as they can relating to food. They care about both the human side and animal side, making them quite a unique group.

The work that the Food Empowerment Project does is amazing. Focused on food justice issues, they provide invaluable resources and are an amazing voice on a number of issues such as animals used in the food industry, the treatment of agricultural workers, human slavery and the environment. This is a visionary organization and I'm not aware of any other organization who takes a comprehensive view of the myriad issues surrounding food.

The Food Empowerment Project is an incredible organization led by an incredible woman, lauren Ornelas. The organization focuses on linking all of the issues around food, including animals, the environment, farm workers, health and more. This is the only organization I know that takes a holistic view of the impact of our food choices.

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I've been to a number of events and conferences where lauren Ornelas has given talks about F.E.P.'s work, and the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. People who learn about F.E.P.'s mission are inspired and empowered, knowing how much positive change they can create in the world and in themselves simply with their food choices. F.E.P.'s mission and message are quite powerful in creating changes that positively impact animals, the environment and people, including farm workers and low-income communities

Ways to make it better...

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

F.E.P. is currently an all-volunteer organization with limited resources. I would love for this organization to receive additional funding so that it can continue to broaden its reach and further create positive change.

The Food Empowerment Project is a fantastic organization that tackles all the injustices surrounding our food choices. As a vegan organization there is the much needed focus on animals but there is also equal concern for issues such as human slavery, environmental exploitation, the plight of farm workers, food security, environmental racism, and food deserts. FEP recognizes that these issues do not exist in a vacuum; instead, they are part of the same cycle of oppression and we need to be concerned about them all if we care about creating a more just world.
Consistent with their holistic approach to food justice, FEP is working to help new vegans stay on track by advocating going vegan for a variety of ethical reasons in their Food Chain newsletters. Instead of promoting an only-for-the-animals approach, Food Chain covers the environmental, social justice, and health reasons for going and staying vegan. This no-stone-left-unturned approach is not only more inclusive but also leaves fewer opportunities for people to make excuses or claim they don't care.
I am extremely proud to be part of the Food Empowerment Project. Volunteering for them has raised my awareness not only of how much injustice is out there but also of how far reaching an impact our food choices have on the world. It truly is empowering!

Food Empowerment Project is without question, an all-around ethical organization and the ONLY group I know of that links together and addresses human, animal and environmental concerns. As a result, it's impact is far more outreaching; from child slavery and the rights of farm workers, to human health and the horrors of factory farming, they truly leave no stone unturned.

The Food Empowerment Project is dedicated to social justice on multiple fronts, even when that is challenging (and challenged). Effective work for environmental issues, animal concerns, food justice, or human justice issues requires understanding the connections among all four. The Food Empowerment Project sheds the light and heat needed to illuminate and fuel powerful food justice work. Highly recommended!

FEP empowers people to make a difference on issues that matter: human slavery, environmental degradation, animal suffering, climate change, worker rights, and public health, to name a few. They provide participants experiences of local changes having global impact, and that's transforming. By uncovering hidden connections among many justice issues, they boldly go where many nonprofits fear to tread. Their work is both straightforward and nuanced. And they do all of this with minimal overhead, a highly committed staff of great integrity, and expertise from years of experience in field.

The Great!

FEP has helped me develop a more strategic approach to addressing issues I care about, and helped me better understand the interlocking nature of justice issues.

see that its essential work was funded at a much higher level.

I love this group because it combines human and animal rights under the greater category of justice. I did not feel satisfied with activist groups who thought one was important and the other not important. The Food Empowerment Project allows me to advocate for people, animals, and the environment, and show how all 3 are related to each other. When I found out about F.E.P. I was excited to have a group represent most of my activist views, without looking down on other causes. When I volunteer for other groups there are always some who are saying they already know about that issue or were not interested. With F.E.P. I have yet to meet someone who was not interested to learn about one or more or the issues we work on. It really makes me feel great to help empower people to make the world a better place through their purchases and other of our campaigns.

I believe that the work that Food Empowerment Project is doing is vital to understanding and connecting social justice struggles. I have already learned so much by reading their literature and seeing lauren from FEP speak a few times. Our choices affect produce workers, child slavery in west africa, and animals all over the planet. Food Empowerment project has a lot of work a head of them and they can use all the help they can get!
