#BoycottVeganFriendly
Vegan Friendly is an Israeli organisation that uses VEGANWASHING to make the Israel Occupation Force (IOF) appear to be progressive and animal-friendly.
Since the start of the genocide they have been providing vegan food to IOF soldiers in Gaza and the West Bank.
Vegan Friendly certifies businesses in the UK and USA, which legitimises their operations in occupied Palestine.

email template to send to VF partners
Dear [BRAND],
I am just sending this email to ask if you still partner with the Vegan Friendly (VF) brand. I am someone who is deeply committed to the Palestinian Liberation cause. A new campaign has been started called Vegan BDS (@veganbds on Instagram) to apply pressure to organisations complicit in Palestinian oppression.VF is named as a target of VeganBDS because of its “vegan-washing” of Israel, being used to make it appear as a “vegan-haven”, to deter from its treatment of Palestinians. VF goes one step further, promoting and supporting the Israelli Defence force (IDF). During the current genocide in Gaza, VF delivered donated vegan meals to IDF soldiers to soldiers in Gaza and also the occupied West Bank (who are ruled as an illegal presence by the ICJ). VF also partners with unethical companies complicit in the oppression of Palestinians, like Strauss and Osem. Finally, VF give lectures in universities in settlements that are internationally recognised as illegal.
I found [BRAND] was listed on the VF website as a partner. This shocked me because of what I have learnt about VF. If you still partner with them, I urge you to drop them. By continuing to partner with VF, [BRAND] would be contributing to Palestinian oppression and I unfortunately will not be able to [go to your restaurant/ buy your product].
Kind Regards,
[your name]
#BoycottDanone
Danone is a Israeli dairy company that also own Alpro. Danone invests millions into the Israeli food start up scene. This colonial project uses VEGANWASHING to present itself as a hub of plant based innovation and modern ‘sustainable’ ethics.
They do this all while killing and stealing land from Palestinians, taking their traditional foods and claiming it as their own.
Print off our ALPRO=ALLBLOOD design onto stickers and put them on Alpro products in stores!
