What is Compassion Is An Action?
Compassion Is An Action is a free website that hosts and organizes user generated plant based activism ideas from around the world.
Users can rate the ideas on the site so that other users can find the highest quality and most effective ideas quickly.
As more celebrities and popular organizations join CIAA, users will be able to find activism ideas from the very vegans that inspired them to change to a plant based diet.
This site will give all vegans access to great user generated activism ideas that are effective, free, convenient and easy to do. CIAA will also host challenging actions that are expensive and hard to do. Whatever the type of activism that interests you, you will be able to find it on CIAA.
Compassion Is An Action is the only worldwide site that allows users to add their own activism ideas to be rated by the larger community.
This site has strict rules for actions, and every new action or edit to an action is evaluated by a human admin before going live on the site.
Motivations & History
Work on CIAA began in 2019 when I was looking for a dynamic list of epic plant based activism ideas. Since I had just gone plant based in 2018, I was extremely eager to save as many animals as possible. I knew projects were happening around the world and I wanted to help.
So I went online and started to search for the list of all these awesome projects that I knew were happening. But it was so hard! There was no central location where organizations and prominent vegans were posting activism ideas!
When I saw that a list of actions like that did not exist, I decided I might as well build it myself.
CIAA aims to maximize the effect of all available plant based activists so as to create a vegan and plant based world as soon as possible.
CIAA was created so that every vegan can see the most effective activism ideas from their peers, their favourite content creators and from plant based celebrities / personalities.
The idea is to give vegans inspiring activism ideas whether they want to invest 5 minutes or 5 years.
Even small actions add up when there are thousands of people doing them. Even massive brands are affected by coordinated activism.
This site is used by lots of cool vegans and plant based organizations:

Rules:
Nothing illegal can go on this site. You can't ask people to help you break laws.
No partisan political or religious actions will be allowed that don't directly involve animals. For instance: "Support my pro-life event!" or "support my pro-choice event!" will both be removed, even if it was posted by a plant based organization.
Your action needs to be concrete. "Spread the word about veganism" is a good example of an action that is too vague and it will not be approved. Actions like "reduce your plastic use" will be removed, since it is only environmental and not directly related to animal welfare.
