BVA on the Net

 

Upcoming Events

Sunday, June 3rd

  1. BVA Basics 1
    • Calendar: BVA
    • Start time: 02:00pm

    • The first in our three-meeting cycle, this BVA Basics meeting deals with the BVA's moral position on animals and veganism, looking at what makes animals morally relevant, what we mean by 'animal rights', and so on, promising to elaborate on some concepts in the next meeting.

      We'll start the meeting with some brief intros around the room, then spend the bulk of our time on the topic, followed by a discussion and Q&A period.

      There are three meetings to try to make it to, total, in any order and at any time you can make them. So, if you missed the last meeting, you can pick up with this one! We hope everyone will partake in these meetings to begin with, even if you are not a newcomer.

News

Short Gary Francione interview now available on videos page
April 28, 2011

I have uploaded to the Videos page an interview that I just completed and uploaded for the I'm Vegan project. It's a brief introduction to his views, as well as a brief summary of his vegan story. So, check it out. Maybe it will get you fired up for Prof. Francione's talk on May 7th!

New FAQs Launched
January 17, 2011

 

FAQs? That's right: plural. Two. Two sets of frequently asked questions. And here's why:

Non-vegans require one set of questions, and so the first FAQ is geared toward walking them from what a vegan is to becoming vegan.

The second FAQ was written for people who already vegan, but who are unfamiliar with or perhaps confused by the abolitionist approach to animal rights and unclear on the sorts of advocacy in which we ought to be engaged.

Both FAQs can both be accessed from the main FAQ page.

New Website!
May 31, 2010

Over this Memorial Day weekend, the BVA migrated to the Drupal platform for our new website (from Joomla), which will be easier to maintain and should provide a smoother user experience. We also have a brand new design, which we feel better reflects our mission and community. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Unfortunately, we ran into a glitch with user migration and the old passwords are not working.  Fortunately, the solution is easy: just go to our sign in page and use the Request new password function to reset your password (it will send you an email with instructions). If you don't see the email in your inbox, be sure to check your spam/junk folder and whitelist the BVA (emails from bostonvegan.org)!

Thanks to John Eckman for coding and migration!

Thanks to Jo Tyler for great design, especially our new header image!
Note: Jo also created several new banner images for us.

Note: we are still finishing up some backend tasks and content revisions/creation.  Please be patient while we complete this work.
