JUST IN – due to concerns over the Covid-19 virus, the event will be on-line! Please stay tuned.

Dr. Sailesh Rao, Founder and Executive Producer of the nonprofit Climate Healers.

Hosted by and in partnership with: PlantDiego, Vegan World 2026!, Climate Healers, Prevent Year Zero, Animal Hero Kids, Vegan Linked, and United in Heart.

This event is part of the Pinky Promise Tour, which is based on a pinky promise between Dr. Rao and his granddaughter, Kimaya, to create a vegan world — a life-affirming global culture of compassion — before Year Zero (2026).

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.
