Vegan Rights Activist James Aspey Running For Parliament In Australia

AJP is Australia’s first political party created entirely to protect the interests and well being of animals. The party was approved back in 2011 and has had a few candidates go on to win elections.

Vegan Rights Activist James Aspey is one of 50 Lower House, and 18 Upper House candidates that are running for AJP Parliament. All of their candidates are vegan and dedicated to protecting animals. The Australian political party already has two MPs elected- Mark Pearson in NSW and Andy Meddick in VIC.

James is running as a candidate to support Emma Hurst. Hurst who has been vegan for nineteen years is running for a seat in the Upper House so that she can fight for the animals. She is said to be ‘sickened’ by the way the government allows corporations to cruelly exploit animal merely to make a profit.

Aspey wants the world to be a more peaceful place to live and is trying to make that a reality. He says that politics plays a vital role in the animal rights movement. He hopes that if we all come together to fight the animal rights fight that we’ll see faster progress.

The Austrailian has been a tireless advocate for the animals, and veganism. In 2014 he took a vow of silence for a year to raise awareness about the animals who have no voice. Aspey has appeared on television around the globe and regularly spreads the message about animal rights and the horrors of factory farming on his YouTube channel and social media outlets.

The political hopeful has a large following of celebrity support, including Ellen DeGeneres, who shared one of Aspey’s videos on her Instagram to her fifty-two million-plus followers.
