Listen up for the PSA that is playing on UO's campus radio, 88.1 FM that was made by fellow vegan and SETA member "Tim in the Morning" Tim Sutton - player of the lounge tunes - in support of educating students where they can get cage-free eggs on campus and why they should buy them.
The wikipedia article on veganism is pretty cool and full of a bunch of info. I hadn't previously known the origins of the word vegan til i read it.

Books:
Adams, C. (1990). The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory. New York: Continuum.
In support of veganism, this
popular book provides an overview of an ecofeminist perspective making
the connection between oppression of nonhuman animals in agriculture
and oppression and objectification of human women.
Mason, J. (1993). An Unnatural Order: Uncovering the Roots of our Domination of Nature and Each Other. New York: Simon & Schuster.
This book provides a critical
anthropological viewpoint on how humans came to separate themselves
from other animals and nature. It explores the basic beliefs and traditions
of Western culture that have propagated racism, sexism, animal cruelty,
and other forms of subjugation. It discusses how our nature-alienated
culture oppresses nature and powerless people.
Midgley, M. (1983). Animals and Why They Matter. Athens, GA: The University of Georgia Press.
This book examines the barriers
that our philosophical traditions have erected between human and nonhuman
animals and reveals that the too-often ridiculed subject of animal rights
is an issue crucially related to such problems within the human community
as racism, sexism, and age discrimination. Mary Midgley's profound and
clearly written narrative is a thought-provoking study of the way in
which the opposition between reason and emotion has shaped our moral
and political ideas and the problems it has raised.
Regan, T. (2003). Animal Rights, Human Wrongs. Lanham, Maryland: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.
This is a simplified and current
version of many of this important philosopher’s viewpoints that favor
extending the concept of human rights to nonhuman animals. As a duty-based
philosopher, he bases his views on the fact that all conscious, sentient
animals are fellow “subjects of a life” who are deserving of rights.
Singer, P. (1990). Animal Liberation (2nd Edition). London: Random House.
This classic book, first published
in 1975, is often credited as being the bible of the animal rights movements,
as it was influential in launching the modern animal rights movement.
He addresses the major issues of animal agribusiness and animal research
to explain his premise that speciesism (discrimination based on a species
not being human) is unethical and morally inconsistent. He privileges
treating all sentient beings’ interests with equal respect.
Singer, P., & Mason, J. (2006). The Way We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter. Emmaus, PA: Rodale.
In this popular book, the authors
of Animal Factories (1990) team up again to examine the eating
habits of three American families with very different diets. They track
down the sources of each family’s food to probe the ethical issues
involved in its production and marketing. They pay special attention
to ethical issues related to food’s impact on nonhuman animals, human
animals, and the environment.
Spiegel, M. (1997). The Dreaded Comparison: Human and Animal Slavery. New York: Mirror Books.
This book provides compelling
visual and factual evidence connecting the oppression of humans in American
slavery to the oppression of nonhumans in our current animal exploitation
industries. She demonstrates that in both types of slavery the logic
of domination is similarly immoral and the injustices quite similar.
