Happy Birthday, Steve Biko! Biko was a South-African apartheid activist and a leading voice of the Black Consciousness Movement in the 60’s. He called out the racism rooted in white liberalism and put Black nationalism at the forefront of his activism.

Because of your donations, F.E.P. was able to release our most illustrative booklet to date, our Vegan Chinese Food recipe guide! We couldn’t offer readily available tools like these without your ongoing support. ❤️ This incredible booklet was designed by Weiyena Wei of @wei.grafik and due to your support, we’re able to keep printing resources that help people go and stay vegan. Our recipe guides show that we can still enjoy our favorite foods without compromising our values and without using animal products. 🌱 Want to keep seeing printed resources from us, send a donation! We’re still a ways from reaching our $35,000 goal, but any amount you donate will be matched until we reach $15k! 💰 Donate today: https://buff.ly/3ZAkdkY 💌
