Kim Stallwood's Interview
This book illuminates the intersections of seemingly disconnected movements
and offers concrete ways for us to disrupt and dismantle the systems of
oppression that harm human and nonhuman animals.
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.
