Description: Are you advocating cruelty in your vegan activism and outreach? It can feel easier to offer things like "Meatless Mondays" or "humane" alternatives than ask people to go "fully" vegan. But when we take this approach, we're not only doing a disservice to the animals, but also to non-vegans themselves. We're deciding FOR them that they can't handle the full truth. We're deciding FOR them that they can't, or won't, make the decision to go vegan. In this speech, I address how to ensure we as activists avoid advocating the very things we are fighting against. In addition to covering examples of what NOT to say in our activism, I also touch on some approaches of what TO say—and HOW to say it, as well as ways to remove common barriers that arise when speaking with non-vegans. ✧ Subscribe ✧ • Newsletter: BiteSizeVegan.org/Subscribe_ytd • Telegram: BiteSizeVegan.org/Telegram • YouTube: bit.ly/BiteSizeSubscribe ✧ Full transcript & sources for this speech: bitesizevegan.org/ethics/are-you-advocating-cruelty-truth-in-vegan-outreach-speech/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=yt_description&utm_campaign=post-link&utm_content=speech_humane-hoax _____________________ Content mentioned in/related to this speech: • Other speeches & videos on effective activism: — YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIqdlomtuStcNfIZU2HsStWVOn7k-3M2 — Website: BiteSizeVegan.org/topics/effective-activism/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=yt_description&utm_campaign=taxonomy-link&utm_content=effective-activism_topic • My video on cage-free eggs: — YouTube: youtu.be/k97-LOG9wsE — Website (with eCourse): bitesizevegan.org/ethics/what-does-cage-free-mean/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=yt_description&utm_campaign=post-link&utm_content=cage-free_food-label-series • My speech in Dublin, Ireland: — YouTube: youtu.be/YBy5BqCv4us — Website: bitesizevegan.org/health/the-best-we-have-to-offer-how-ireland-exposes-humane-farming/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=yt_description&utm_campaign=post-link&utm_content=ireland-speech • Learn more about Sandra Higgins' work: youtu.be/HHAdxnli5vk _____________________ This speech was delivered at the Humane Hoax Online Conference: humanehoax.org _____________________ Find exactly what you're looking for: 🔎 Not sure what you need?
