Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adamshas implored the new Biden-Harris administration to adopt policies that will promote plant-based diets for the American public. Adams advocacy began in 2016 when he went vegan, andthe current NYC mayoral candidate hasnow set his sights on greater change for all of the US. The announcement follows a campaign launched by the JIVINITI Womens Coalitiona group of organizations mostly led by women-of-color who work towards social justice through initiatives promoting plant-based nutritionto challenge Vice President Kamala Harris to go vegan this January.

AskingBiden and Harris toconsider implementinga plant-based diet is just the start: Adams and other activists hope to bring attention to the nutritional scarcity that affects so many Americans, especially communities of color. Since Adams went vegan, hes prioritized plant-based programsthat provide a sustainable way to address thisform of systemic racism, whichincludesa disproportionately high number of food deserts and food swamps in low-income neighborhoods.

I wholeheartedly support the JIVINITI coalition in initiating these vital conversations focused on women of color in the US and for marginalized women worldwide, Adams explained. We must turn food deserts into food oases, particularly in communities of color where nutritional foods are scarce. Switching to a whole-food, plant-based diet taught me about the transformative power of whats on our dinner plate. With the new Biden-Harris Administration in office, its time we take this conversation nationally.

Adams request isechoed by thirteen-year-old vegan activist Genesis Butler and British entrepreneur Heather Mills. The two, alongside Adams, hope that the Biden-Harris administration will see plant-based solutions as a possible route to fix these nutritional shortfalls.

I urge the Biden-Harris administration to take steps towards shutting down large-scale animal agriculture and ending systemic racism and the health crisis, Butler urged. My generation looks up to our national leadersespecially powerful women leaders like Vice President Harristo help secure a happy and healthy world for our tomorrow.

US plant-based health policies wouldmirror alarger worldwide trend of countries recognizing the benefits not only nutritionally, but environmentally,in a diet free of animal products. The British parliament has been urged to cut 50 percent of its meat, fish, and dairy industries in favor of plant-based alternatives. With other countries moving in a plant-based direction,vegan activistshope thatits only a matter of timefor the United States to recognizethis value. As plant-based politicians like Adams and vegan Senator Corey Booker advocate for a plant-forward approach to policy, the US moves closer to implementinginitiatives that can help tofight dietary racism and the threats to the climate.
