What led you to become involved with social justice? How do you describe yourself as a social justice advocate? And what are the issues that you’re presently working on?

I have been vegan since I was 14 (so for 15 years in August) for ethical reasons. For over a decade, I have labored in different roles in the animal advocacy nonprofit sector (AANS). This book is very much a guidebook I wish I had had when I was 16 and getting involved in the movement. I was so passionate about this movement and animal liberation, but that made me very exploitable.

When I was in high school, and then again in college, I started a ‘compassionate communities’ club which was affiliated with Farm Sanctuary. I then interned with Farm Sanctuary in upstate New York as an education intern and, in 2015, was part of the inaugural cohort of The Humane League’s ‘campus coordinator’ program.

After college, I interned in public policy and government relations near DC for the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the ASPCA. This was right after #metooAR broke. After those externships, I got a job with the Animal Legal Defense Fund. However, because of various labor issues I experienced at the ALDF, as well as the other nonprofit organizations I had worked for previously, I left that position and began organizing with a labor advocacy group called Rights for Animal Rights Activists (RARA) and began doing DEI consulting.
