Episode Description
The Vegan Justice League fights for planetary justice on many fronts and in many cities! VJL is a non-profit. A sister organization, Agriculture Fairness Alliance, lobbies for ethical food policies. Now, VJL is teaming up with New York City’s P.S. Kitchen to offer a groundbreaking new Rewards Program. At a critical time in our history, the pandemic has hit vegan restaurants hard. Restaurants that were once busy with in-person patrons are looking for creative ways to continue to attract customers. Vegan Justice League will launch the VJL Rewards Program, a loyalty program through which partner businesses will offer perks! Meanwhile, more vegan restaurants are opening than closing and vegan products are skyrocketing across the globe!
