Roberts, who has been a vegan for over eighteen years, recently served as Chief Executive Officer of the Humane Party, where he became known as a visionary in the areas of social justice, environmentalism, and animal rights. During this tenure, Roberts established the Humane Party's current conference structure and finalized proposals for ground-breaking legislation, including three proposed amendments to the U.S. Constitution:

- American Primate Emancipation (“APE”) Amendment, which abolishes slavery with respect to all primates
- Equal Rights Amendment II, which guarantees equality under the law regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender, or choice of spouse or partner
- Democracy Amendment, which replaces the Electoral College system with democratic election of the U.S. President

Roberts, a United States citizen, was born at Yukota Air Force Base in Japan. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and currently resides in Sacramento, California. Announcement of Roberts' candidacy coincides with the 2015 “World Vegan Day” celebration, which commemorates Donald Watson's coining of the term “vegan” in 1944.

Additional information on Clifton Roberts and his vision for a prosperous, sustainable, and cruelty-free economy is being made available through the official website for his 2016 Presidential campaign (www.cliftonroberts.org).

About the Humane Party

The Humane Party, launched in 2009, is the U.S.’s first fully abolitionist political party. The Humane Party platform calls for abolishing the property status of all animals - not just the human kind - thereby ending ownership, rape, torture, mutilation, and slaughter of animals throughout the U.S. Every Humane Party candidate, officer, and board member must execute a written oath in which he or she pledges not to consume or use any product or service that includes animal parts or secretions.
