Building an intersectional and inclusive animal rights movement |
Lia Rodehorst |
This thought-provoking talk will delve into the importance of treating diversity as an asset and fostering an inclusive environment for all. Discover the significance of inclusive vegan outreach and the essential connection between representation and a more effective movement. Join Lia, a research communications specialist, and vegan activist, as she shares her personal journey as a queer, chronically ill, and disabled woman within the animal rights movement. In this session, Lia will shed light on ableism and offer valuable insights on how we can all work to eliminate it from our lives and activism. Learn practical strategies to make the animal rights movement more inclusive at individual, group, and organizational levels. Get inspired to take action and contribute to a movement that respects and values the richness of diversity while uniting for a shared cause. |
