Saturday, March 30 is World Day for the End of Fishing. What a great opportunity for all of The Save Movement to educate the public about why fishing is harmful to fish, other sea life, and the habitable planet itself. Save groups will be holding actions for sea life.
The Climate Save Movement's core message is: Help save the planet by going vegan and becoming active. The climate change crisis is upon us, and we must urgently rise to mitigate and reverse it.
The Climate Save Movement is building a grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis by ending animal agriculture, reforesting the Earth and phasing out fossil fuels.

Global Strike For Future
The Climate Save Movement is supporting and joining the March 15th Global Climate Strike For Future! Inspired by Greta Thunberg, thousands of students across the globe have started striking regularly, demanding that governments take action. The message is clear from the youth of the world. We must not continue jeopardizing their future and immediately reduce our
greenhouse gas emissions caused by our reliance on fossil fuels and animal agriculture. Governments around the world need to implement policies that will transform the fossil fuel industry to renewables and move animal agriculture toward a sustainable plant-based industry. Individually the biggest impact everyone can have is to stop consuming animal products and go vegan.
Health Save Movement aims to show how veganism can prevent and reverse diseases related to animal products consumption, enhance food justice, and decrease spending on the health crisis.

INDIA
Save Movement activists are on a Save Organizing Tour of India. The tour is bearing fruit as new groups are being formed there as well.
They report from their first vigil: "We saved 9 lives at Surat Animal Save's first vigil 💙 Why are they pink and orange? In the egg industry male chicks are useless by-products. Most of the time they are killed straight away after birth by grinding or suffocating. In India they are often colored to attract buyers -- people buy them for children to use as toys after which they are killed for meat. Also farmers buy male chicks and raise them for 12 weeks before slaughtering them."
If you would like to bear witness but don't have Save vigils near you, consider starting a group. Email us at savemovementinfo@gmail.com or check out thesavemovement.org for info on how to get started! We will help you every step of the way.

Please watch: Louisville Pig Save report from their February 24 vigil: "We were able to bear witness to 12 trucks at our pig vigil in downtown Louisville. This is perhaps the first and last time these young pigs, 6-8 months of age, were able to get fresh air and sunlight."
Toronto Pig Save started in December 2010, with a promise to the pigs of doing a minimum of three vigils and vegan outreach events each week, all year round. We bear witness as a community of pigs, cows, chickens and other farmed animal victims in slaughterhouse trucks. The animals want us to be present and, with the most pleading eyes, ask for our help when we see them through the portholes of transport trucks. Just as if we were in those horrid trucks, we would want the whole community to be there fighting for our freedom, liberation, rights, and equality. In a way, we are there. All life is one and, “when (wo)men wish to harm others, they really do evil to themselves,” Leo Tolstoy said in his animal rights story “Esarhaddon, King of Assyria”. It’s our positive duty and obligation to act in the present to try to stop the most egregious injustices before us.
"When the suffering of another creature causes you to feel pain, do not submit to the initial desire to flee from the suffering one, but on the contrary, come closer, as close as you can to her who suffers, and try to help her.” – Leo Tolstoy
In 8 years, The Save Movement has grown to over 630 Save groups in 69 countries around the world. Our dream is to have regular vigils at every slaughter plant worldwide. We regularly give seed money to new Save groups and require funds for literature, posters, subway ad campaigns (iVegan.ca) and vegan outreach events.
Make animal liberation your priority in life! Think of 10 kind things you can do each day and encourage your friends to do the same! Join us and participate in our weekly vigils, start a Save group in your community, and be a regular donor.
