The Risk of Speaking Up
Sunday, April 16, 2023 4:30-6pm EST
If you’re vegan, you’ve no doubt experienced that queasy feeling in the pit of your stomach when you’re about to speak up about veganism to non-vegans. It’s a risk because we’re the outliers, speaking against the status quo and it can be a very vulnerable place to be. Let’s meet up so we can support each other and talk about how we can take care of ourselves so we’re prepared to take these risks. Space is limited so sign up on MeetUp ASAP. If plans change, change your status to open a spot for others. The Zoom link will be sent to you on the day of the event.
Enjoy this video presentation entitled
Compassionate Disagreement
I recently presented along with Suzanne McAllister for We Did It, a group committed to creating a happy, healthy, vegan world. Enjoy!

How to Speak for Those Who Cannot Speak for Themselves
Sunday, March 19, 2023 5-6pm EST
Why do we advocate for animals? It’s certainly not an easy thing to do in a world that overlooks the victimization required to maintain a broken system. It can feel uncomfortable and awkward to share what we believe and to ask others to question what they believe. In this session, we’ll explore why and how to speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves.
