Beyond Carnism 

Beyond Carnism is a US-based, international organization dedicated to exposing and transforming carnism, the invisible belief system that conditions people to eat certain animals. Beyond Carnism is the first and only organization that focuses exclusively on carnism, making it a pioneering and landmark institution and a hub of international carnism-awareness activity.

Inspired by the work of our founding president, Dr. Melanie Joy, we have created innovative programs and campaigns, which have had a significant global impact. We are run by a committed, compassionate, and exceptionally talented team in the US and Europe.

Beyond Carnism is a small, vibrant organization with a startup feel and ambitious goals. Our strategic aims over the next three years include making carnism a mainstream term and significantly increasing the reach of our Center for Effective Vegan Advocacy (CEVA). Through CEVA, we also plan to expand on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work in order to help build a more inclusive, resilient, and impactful movement. We also aim to build out our newer work on “relational literacy,” the understanding of and ability to practice healthy ways of relating. We are seeking a talented, highly organized, dedicated, self-directed individual with a thorough knowledge of the animal advocacy movement and a commitment to strategic thinking, effective altruism, social justice, relational health, and personal integrity to join our team and help take Beyond Carnism to the next level.
