In Loving Memory of Benjamin Zephaniah.   

It feels profoundly fitting that Benjamin’s first tribute here is with The Vegan Society, a cause woven into the fabric of his being. He lived his life by a simple, powerful principle: to do the least harm and the most good. This vegan ethic was the heartbeat of his existence, guiding him from the global stage to the peace of our home.
