But how?

When vegans are such a small minority of people (currently, vegans represent about 1-2% of the American population) it can be tricky to find others. Here are some suggestions:

  1. MeetUp (potlucks, protests, and more): http://vegan.meetup.com/
  2. Vegan Drinks (monthly bar gatherings for vegans): http://www.vegandrinks.org/
  3. Veggie Boards (web forum for vegans and vegetarians): http://www.veggieboards.com/
  4. Post Punk Kitchen (vegan web forum and blog): http://theppk.com/
  5. Veg Haven (MySpace/ Facebook for veg*ns): http://www.veghaven.org/
  6. Vegan World (similar to Veg Haven): http://www.veganworld.com/
  7. Veggie Date (for singles): http://www.veggiedate.com/

This is, of course, an incomplete list. There are lots of other resources available online to help you find other vegans. But this should get you started. Enjoy!
