Lorraine Haines - It's important for all vegans to reject and challenge slavery and exploitation. To speak for, and represent the victims of slavery and exploitation.

Lai Sityar - It's important for all vegans to become the media that will someday trample all the lies of the government and corporate funded media. And it's important that we don't water down the animal rights message, we have to keep in mind that it's all about the animals. The masses would stay close-minded and brainwashed and we'll never change the world if we don't promote abolition and if we just focus on small issues.

Alison Palmer - It's important for all vegans to appear happy, healthy, peaceful and loving; something I aspire to and often fall short of.

Susan Cho - It's important for all vegans to try to stop using clay kitty litter. Mining for clay destroys too many communities of wildlife. (OK, a pretty nit-picky point, but I figured everyone else will supply all the big-picture answers! this is an unusual one) :)

Judy V Leon - It's important for all vegans to spread the word about how wonderful and beneficial veganism is, but to be VERY smart about how we do it. People tend to think we vegans feel "superior" than them, or that we really don't know what we are talking about, and also not to attack them because they have different beliefs, (after all we were not all born vegan, we made the change at some point in our lives), that veganism is not only a diet but a life style. And also, between vegans, to be united and to not create "classes" like I've seen.

Deborah B Reynolds - It's important for all vegans to walk the walk not just talk the talk.

Josh V Wenglin - It's important for all vegans to be respectful to omnivores. Being disrespectful doesn't help at all. I am not saying to respect their decision. Just to be respectful to them.

Ellie Jamison - It's important for all vegans to be kind and considerate even when faced with people who aren't ready, and who may also never be ready to accept the truth x

Ghazal Watson - It's important for all vegans to not just stop at being vegan. The animals need a real resistance movement, and that can be done through protests, home protests, act of civil disobedience etc. The problem is so many vegans are just lifestyle vegans. Everyone who says they care about animals needs to form or join protest groups in their areas and build sustained campaigns against local animal abusing companies until they shut down. Enough potlucks, long facebook preaches to the already converted, and time to get in the streets!

Siobhan Parker - It's important for all vegans to spread the word.

Robin Fetter - It's important for all vegans to speak up! You'll be amazed what you can do with your voice, from getting a restaurant to expand their vegan options to shutting down a traveling circus...the possibilities are endless with just one voice!

Joseph T. Espinosa - It's important for all vegans to be accurate and honest regarding the health aspects of the vegan diet.

Blake Willemsen - It's important for all vegans to be more tolerant of those who are not vegan but are toying with the idea! Why drive a wedge between yourself and a potential new convert!

Friz Bee Remain - It's important for all vegans to be a critical thinker! If like myself, your goal is abolition, don't take everything that the academics & notable figures of this movement say as always being the absolute truth, & try to avoid falling into the trap of thinking that you must stick rigidly to dogmatic rhetoric from abolitionist theory or else we will not achieve a world where animals have rights, because there is no evidence to suggest that this is the case.

Steve Lotz - It's important for all vegans to model good health and promote mercy and compassion to all sentient beings.

Nadine Berumen - It's important for all vegns to be an active voice for animal liberation and animal rights.

Wendy Kobylarz - It's important for all vegns to be intersectional. Animal liberation can be our priority, but we should not oppress other humans in our quest to free other animals, nor should we assume that a continuation of our current (consumer) culture will be able to make the world vegan. Capitalism is based on exploitation; we need a totally new way of thinking and living. And simply using vegan replicas of meat or cheese or buying vegan purses and makeup will not change things permanently.

Mor Kraim - It's important for all vegans to stay strong and remember that if we want to greatly impact and show it the right way, there is no need to fall into despair, but to strengthen the faith but also to know and accept that it will happen in the process like any other good thing. The truth never changes.
