As the Million Vegan Grandmothers and wisdom carriers, we gather to express our fierce love for our children and grandchildren and invite everyone to take our Homo Ahimsa pledge:
Anstalten Prison
c/o Paul Watson
Nuuk, Greenland
DK-3900
Almost three months behind those caged walls,
The judge, unmoved, ignores your calls.
The prosecutor’s voice, cold as the tide,
Another month—justice cast aside.
But Paul, you’re not here for crime or greed,
You’re here for the oceans, for those in need.
For the whales that sing through icy tides,
For dolphins that dance, and fish that glide.
The sea still sings, though you’re confined,
Whales breach and dolphins soar in mind.
Through the bars, you see their grace,
Their freedom lifts you in this place.
Your clients, Paul, are creatures great and small,
From the whales that breach to the plankton’s fall.
With cameras, you caught what words can’t say,
Defending the seas in their fragile array.
They rammed your boat, tried to break your will,
But the seas rise up, they know you still.
For the fish, for the plankton, for the deep blue sea,
You stand, and we stand with thee.
We have the right, they cry, from the top of the chain,
While, below, whales and dolphins cry in pain.
Their lies drift with the current, but your truth holds fast,
Your breath will shout it to the very last.
From the depths where the plankton gleams,
To the dolphins who swim in sunlit streams,
They send their thanks, their silent cheer,
For every act that brought you here.
And from all corners, voices rise,
Children’s hands paint ocean skies.
Their letters reach your prison door,
Filling your heart with hope once more.
Yet we know, Paul, of the pain you bear,
For your boys and wife, that you cannot be there.
Each day apart, you sacrifice anew,
Missing their smiles, their love, so true.
But in their hearts, they know your fight,
For the oceans’ future, Grandmothers alongside Jane Goodall’s know what is right.
Your courage shines, though you’re far away,
A father, an activist who gives another day.
Paul, we’re grateful for your stand,
For every creature in sea and on land.
The whales, the dolphins, fish, and more—
You are the voice they can’t ignore.
So, though you’re bound, our voices soar,
For the oceans, for you, forevermore.
Justice may falter, but love prevails,
For your clients, the seas, and their endless tales.
With Much Compassion,

We, The Million Vegan Grandmothers and wisdom carriers, join together using the power of love–love for the children and grandchildren of all beings and for Mother Earth. Welcome are all people regardless of gender, age, and official grandmother status, who align with the values of veganism and this declaration.
We affirm the right of all beings to live in a natural, toxic-free environment which allows all to thrive and to lead sacred, liberated, sovereign, and joyful lives. The power of our love is unstoppable. We do not allow this planet and all who live here to be destroyed. We are creating a vegan world of peace, freedom, and loving kindness for all.
We believe that the true nature of human beings and our highest calling is to be kind, compassionate, nonviolent and partners with, not dominators of, all life. We believe this is the time of the Great Awakening of Humanity to leave behind the destructive nature of Homo Sapiens and become who we have always been destined to be–Homo Ahimsa. As Vegan Grandmothers, we are here to midwife the birth of the new compassionate human and bring in the new era of a vegan ahimsa world so that our children and grandchildren and those of all species can thrive and be free.
