Over 50 million turkeys are slaughtered in North America during Thanksgiving; according to the National Turkey Federation, almost 9 out of 10 Americans eat a turkey on this day.

The Jain Society of Houston, JAINA, and the Global Jain Network will host a collective prayer and discussion on Clubhouse to honor the animal lives lost during this tradition. In addition, the Global Jain Network will host a collective Thanksgiving Fast on this day, and we encourage all to consider observing a fully vegan Thanksgiving, a partial-day fast, or a full-day fast. To participate in this collective Jain effort, show your support by filling out our 1-minute form: bit.ly/thanksgivingfast (link in bio).

Happy Diwali and Mahavir Nirvana Kalyanak from the Global Jain Network. Diwali is an auspicious day for Jains as it marks the day Mahavir Swami attained Moksha. In this time of self-reflection and self-purification, we ask all Jains to consider a fully vegan and environmentally-conscious Diwali to extend the essence of Diwali to all Jiv around us.
