Radical Veganism; a necessary component of Total Liberation
Channel: Vegan Actions North East
Date: 2017-10-29

Recently we gave a talk about radical veganism and how it works with total liberation to Aberdeen Anarchists. 

Summary
-------------------------------------------------------
Veganism is more than a diet and a consumer boycott; it’s a philosophy which seeks to end non-human animal use. Radical veganism moves away from mainstream, single-issue veganism and into an inclusive, political justice movement for human and non-human animals. Understanding that inclusive direct action is required for significant, lasting change makes radical veganism a necessary part of total liberation; animal, human, planet - one struggle, one fight.
