Join Dr. Sailesh Rao for a global Earth Day event to launch the 2020 Pinky Promise Tour:

Presentations of “Healing the Earth and Preventing Our Extinction” via Zoom at 8am PDT, 1pm PDT, and 8pm PDT. Each presentation is followed by Q&A and discussion.

The Pinky Promise Tour is based on a pinky promise between Kimaya and her grandfather, Dr. Sailesh Rao, that he (and his friends) would create a Vegan World by 2026 to heal our earth and save her family — the animals.

Originally an in-person road show around North America, the Pinky Promise Tour is now virtual — and global — and with a solution that can not only help heal our climate and prevent species extinction, but can help heal 3 of the main risk factors for COVID-19 mortality (hypertension, diabetes and heart disease) and help prevent future zoonotic diseases.

Presented by and in partnership with: Vegan World 2026, Climate Healers, JP Farm Animal Sanctuary, Animal Hero Kids, Vegan Linked, PlantDiego, Fuera Apparel, Rub A Dub Bath & Body, Pareen’s Plant Based Living, and United in Heart.

About the speaker: Dr. Sailesh Rao, a systems specialist with a Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, worked on the internet communications infrastructure for twenty years after graduation. During this period, he led the transformation of early analog internet connections to more robust digital connections that also ran ten times faster, at 1Gb/s. In 2006, he switched careers and became deeply immersed, full time, in solving the environmental crises affecting humanity. Dr. Rao is the author of two books, Carbon Dharma: The Occupation of Butterflies and Carbon Yoga: The Vegan Metamorphosis, and an Executive Producer of four documentaries, The Human Experiment (2013), Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret (2014), What The Health (2017), and A Prayer for Compassion (2019).

Dr. Rao is a Human, Earth and Animal Liberation (HEAL) activist, husband, dad, and since 2010, a star-struck grandfather. He has promised his granddaughter, Kimaya, that the world will be largely Vegan before she turns 16 in 2026, so that people will stop eating her relatives, the animals. He has faith that humanity will transform to keep his pinky promise to Kimaya, not just for ethical reasons, but also out of sheer ecological necessity.
