The International Vegan Association prepares and distributes educational resources, some of which can be used in public outreach efforts. Here are a few of our publicly available resources beyond our blog:

Vegan Starter Kit: Respecting Animals Means Going Vegan

IVA’s Vegan Starter Kit is a 28 page booklet that includes a moral argument in favor of veganism, a nutrition guide, and some recipes, as well as guidance on what to do after going vegan. View the VSK online and request free copies for your personal use or to distribute locally.

Tear-off flyer

This resource is a small version of our tabling poster designed to grab the attention of passers-by with the basic argument for why we ought to be vegan. It includes a row of tear-off tabs and a QR code directing people to our Vegan Starter Kit online. To download the tear-off flyer for printing and distribution, click here. The flyer is available in US Letter and A4, as well as in black and white and full color.

Vegan Nutrition Basics

Vegan Nutrition Basics offers a quick overview of vegan nutrition. It is available as a printable quad-fold pamphlet and as a trifold self-printable pamphlet in US Letter and A4. The Vegan Starter Kit goes into more detail. Our most complete write-up can be found on our site.

FAQs

We currently offer a set of frequently asked questions about veganism. This FAQ is intended for individuals who are beginning to think about veganism and animal rights. We have no current plans to produce printed copies of our FAQs, but we encourage you to share links to these resources with your friends, family, and colleagues.

Position Papers

We occasionally release position papers that clarify or explain important aspects of our mandate, when these issues could not be appropriately explored in a short blog post. They are available as PDFs for easy sharing. Printed copies are popular takeaways at activist tables, as they address some major questions people have regarding welfare reforms, whether it’s always wrong to consume animal products, and why we discourage donations.

Recipes.

Entrees, salads, soups, and desserts from our Vegan Starter Kit.

More may be added over time as web-only and for future revisions of the VSK.
