PLANT-BASED EARTH DAY
START is encouraging the St. Louis Earth Day committee to require that all food options be plant-based at the Earth Day festival. We are collecting signatures in support.
We sponsored the first ever Vegan Zone at Earth Day 2025--help us make the whole festival plant-based in future years!
Our Approach
The St. Louis Animal Rights Team (START) is a volunteer-run charitable organization dedicated to advancing fundamental rights for all species. We have been active for 40 years and incorporated as a nonprofit for almost as long!
The animal world is comprised of individuals, none having greater value than another based on man-made labels. Animals on farms, in research laboratories, or at pet stores are as equally deserving of rights as individuals of an endangered species. Please check out our resources, sign up for our newsletter, attend a meeting, or reach out to the team.
