Our Vision

Tapestry envisions a world where all life and the earth itself are free from exploitation—a vegan world where no living being suffers harm in the name of religion and where anymals and earth are treated with care, dignity, and respect.

Our Mission

Three strands shape Tapestry—education, work in the field, and the arts. Tapestry academics are at the forefront of discovering, compiling, and sharing well-vetted information with those who are best-positioned to bring change: scholars and students, activists, and for religion topics, people of faith. Tapestry’s Hospitality Challenge continues to be a huge success, exponentially increasing vegan offerings while Tapestry paintings and poetry inspire kindness, point to greater justice, and help to build peace.
