The Open Vegan Association (OVA).


Open Letter to Change the Business of Vegan Associations/Societies/Foundations/Unions/Organization, see also: List of vegetarian organizations.

“The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.” Albert Einstein (non-vegan)


To whom it may concern


Dear interested vegan consumer or leader of any vegan Community around the globe!

The Open Vegan Association (OVA) idea/concept/draft is the first attempt, to bring all Vegan Organizations (Vegans worldwide (all continents) together with a few basic rules based on the view of an ethical consumer to work together on the #Agenda2030. Based on the idea of a Open society (concept from 1932) and Open data like Wikipedia, Veganwiki or similar Open Source or Open content projects.


I'm a global citizen and traveled all continents and (+50 out of 193 UN member states). The concept is different but borrowed from The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers which has a totally different view/approach and is not associated with me.

Thank you very much!

Global Goals

1. Educating with this topic in mind: In terms of "minimal education", the joining individual or organization should be able to understand and teach others (consumers, customers, companies or other interested parties) the basic principles of Veganism (but not limited to) but alwways with the VegPOV in mind.

2. Creating a community which is independent form the following topics:

  • Politics (we don't follow/support any specific politic views)
  • Religion (we don't follow/support any specific religious views)
  • Culture (we are all Vegan people and haven an open mind for different views and understanding, there is enough other fights going on on this planet)


3.Engaging everyone with "basic goals" in English

  • To make sure that we all work on the same goals, we engage in the UN SDGs Agenda and make our volunteer work a valuable part of the next 15 years (If we are still here in this planet, we can create new goals), until than we stick on the #Agenda2030 by the UN.
  • Language (we use and accept English as the Universal Language)

Commercial Goals

  • Support free education for vegans and interested parties (making $ not allowed), for e.g. providing access to statistics in your region
  • OVA does not impact your local business / memberships or commercial activities as long as they actively support the 17 specific SDGs ($)
  • Make regional events happen ($)
  • Promote the Vegan Label as Universal Label for a plant-based diet ($)

($) simply allows everyone to charge or not to charge money for that specific topic.

Status
