American basketball player Hyland DeAndre Jordan Jr. is celebrating World Vegan Month this year with a ‘Meatless Monday’ challenge.

The athlete announced the challenge in a recent Instagram video, where he also urges his fans to ‘go vote’ in the upcoming U.S elections.

“November is World Vegan Month and in the spirit of that, today I’m starting a meatless Monday challenge!” Jordan wrote.

“Every week I will select one winner to send some of my favorite plant-based vegan/ sustainable items.”

Animal-rights charity PETA welcomed the challenge, saying it ‘loves the idea’ of Jordan sharing his favorite vegan products.

“Can’t wait to see all the delicious, healthy vegan meals people make every single day of the week!” the charity wrote.
