BLACK LIVES MATTER
BLACK LIVES MATTER AND VEGANISM
The opposition of state-sanctioned violence and hierarchy are at the center of what it means to be vegan. It stands against domination by those in power, all forms of discrimination, the commodification of life, and the normalization of oppression. See where we’re going?
It goes against the fundamentals of veganism to be anything other than anti-racist. And if you’ve got a problem with this ☝️, you’re just a racist that eats plants, baby.
“[T]he best case in favor of defending animals from violation is going to be generated from within the anti-racist commitment.”
