Collective liberation includes everyone.
We cannot talk about bodily autonomy and collective liberation without speaking up for those whom we industrially exploit and slaughter. Farmed animals value their own lives as you value yours. They have complex relationships and emotions. It is no question to us that animals deserve our compassion and advocacy as well.
Our collective liberation depends on it.

You could be the difference for some.
Veganism and animal rights seeks to reduce animal suffering as much as possible, but it goes beyond examining the ethics and treatment of animals and workers in our food, clothing, and entertainment. It is an anti-oppression movement that expands our understanding of what collective liberation would look like with different systems in place.
