Serious question I had for .cranky.vegan .. are there vegan options in jail?! 😳

Have you listened to Episode 5 with Jake Conroy, aka The Cranky Vegan yet? 🎙
cranky.vegan is always rethinking the strategies & tactics of the grassroots animal rights movement. 💭

He is an American animal activist who was convicted and served 5 years in a federal prison for campaigning to save animals from cruel pharmaceutical tests. 💉 He was featured in the documentary The Animal People + What The Health. 📹

We discuss everything from where the movement was a decade ago to now, what the movement is missing, why we aren't winning, the importance of of being inclusive, what life was like in jail, and much more!

💥NEW EPISODE ALERT 💥

-

I had the chance to sit down with the inspiring an Australian animal rights activist & lecturer. 🗣 In 2015, James took a year long vow of silence to raise awareness for ‘the voiceless’ and to promote peace over violence. He broke his silence in a tv-interview that got mass media attention and inspired thousands - including myself to eliminate animal products.✖️ He is living proof that you can live off plants, gain muscle and truly THRIVE without harming sentient beings. 💪🏼

-

James was not an animal lover before - he had no empathy for his own dog growing up. He was also a huge meat eater and only knew one vegan who refused to sit on leather couches, (which he found crazy). He is now one of the most influential vegan activists in the world‼️

-

In this thought-provoking interview we discuss everything from his story, to dealing with PTSD, ways to raise awareness, how to be a full-time activist + how to stay hopeful + motivated. 🙏🏼 ENJOY! ❤️


Whether you’re vegan, an animal activist, or just looking to make some more kind & conscious decisions this podcast IS FOR YOU!!! 🙏🏼

07/05/2020

Amy Soranno is a Canadian animal rights activist and has dedicated her life to fighting for animal liberation. 🐮 She focuses on taking direct action through investigating animal agriculture, conducting open rescues, as well as engaging in mass civil disobedience events. Amy organized “Meat The Victims” which was a precedent-setting action that was the first of its kind in Canada‼️ -
Although acts of civil disobedience are by definition illegal, they serve an important social purpose, they spark discussion, can result in policy change, and generally help progress society. 🗣 -

❗️Why should you stand up and speak up for what you believe in?❗️ -

It is a liberating expression of free will! Don’t be a blind follower, be the full expression of yourself. ❤️ -

Don’t lose your identity, standing up for your beliefs and making tough and uncomfortable decisions can make a massive positive difference. 🙏🏼 -
Losing your own identity can do enormous damage to your confidence and sense of self-worth. Ultimately, it leaves a dent in your life, or you become a shadow of who you truly are. 🗣 -

Introducing our Animal Activist Series, where we will be sitting down and talking to the brave & courage individuals who aren’t afraid to use their voice, and platforms to fight for the rights of animals. 🐮 -
