In 2025, the reinstated Trump administration has reignited a wave of regressive policies targeting the environment, animal welfare, and human rights. From deregulating slaughterhouse inspections to trade policies favoring and expanding meat exportation to weakening wildlife protections and rolling back civil rights orders, the administration is pushing an agenda rooted in deregulation, exploitation, and exclusion.
At Ahimsa Travel Club, we believe that travel should not be complicit in injustice—it should be a tool for transformation. Through fully vegan, ethically curated travel experiences, we empower individuals to resist these destructive policies in meaningful, joyful, and community-driven ways.
🌍 Environmental Destruction & Climate Denial
Trump’s elimination of key climate programs, including withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and defunding climate research, represents a deliberate disregard for planetary health. Fossil fuels are again prioritized, public lands opened to drilling, and climate data censored.
Our response at Ahimsa Travel Club? Every one of our trips is 100% plant-based, drastically reducing the carbon footprint compared to traditional tourism. We avoid partnerships with airlines and hotels with poor environmental records, opt for rail or group transport when feasible, and support regenerative agriculture communities and rewilding projects. Sustainability isn't a buzzword—it's a baseline.
🐾 Animal Rights Under Siege
This administration has systematically dismantled protections for endangered species and repealed transparency rules for factory farms. Animals are treated as commodities, and cruelty is normalized.
Ahimsa Travel Club refuses to participate in this system. Our tours never include zoos, aquariums, animal rides, or exploitative “wildlife encounters.” Instead, we highlight sanctuaries, plant-based farms, and indigenous-led conservation efforts that honor non-human lives as sacred. We build itineraries that show how compassionate choices can challenge systems of violence.
🧑🤝🧑 Human Rights and Equity
By rescinding Executive Order 11246 and withdrawing from international human rights agreements, the Trump administration has shown a willingness to abandon marginalized communities at home and abroad. These rollbacks disproportionately harm BIPOC, LGBTQ+, immigrant, and low-income populations.
Ahimsa Travel Club actively centers justice in every trip. We work with local, minority-owned, women-led, and queer-led businesses in every destination. Our guides are paid fairly, our accommodations are vetted for equity, and our programming includes social justice education. We uplift voices that are often silenced, and ensure that your travel dollars empower, not exploit.
✊ Vegan Travel as Political Action
In an era when policy is regressing, personal action matters more than ever. Veganism—especially when integrated into how we travel—is one of the most radical, life-affirming responses available to us.
With every Ahimsa Travel Club journey, you are:
Divesting from industries that profit from cruelty and exploitation
Supporting regenerative practices and ethical entrepreneurship
Connecting with a global community committed to compassion and justice
