How to be Vegan in the Arctic
as some readers know, I have moved again and this time North, residing on an island of snow & ice, accessible only by plane or ship, where days are short and blizzards are common, sometimes going -50 below during wintertime. in other words, not a place you’d expect to find a vegan.

A White Vegan Feminist in Palestine (Danielle)
Last night, I sat at my dinner table in Ramallah, Palestine, sharing a meal with Palestinian, French, and North American friends.

Specifically, how social justice looks in the complicated context of an overall conservative Palestinian society, at least when compared to the…

I Don’t Have to Tell You Things are Bad…
I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are shit – it’s a gd depression. Nobody can find work and if they do they’re scared of being harassed, exploited or losing that job. Everybody’s exhausted or too tired to care much, to speak something even if they knew what to say.…

White Vegans Need to Stop Appropriating Mehndi/Henna (Meneka Repka)
I was prompted to write this because, as a self-identified pro-intersectional vegan, I couldn’t find any articles that were easily accessible and addressed this specific issue. It’s unfortunate that vegans of colour do need to write new content to address the same types of issues, but it’s still necessary when people have a hard time…

Animal Defenders against White Supremacy
every vegan and animal defender alike know well enough that white supremacy exists in direct opposition to the freedom and liberation of all Earthlings. and when racism reveals itself most candidly in the faces of neo-nazis rallying around hate, then it becomes our responsibility to prioritize our efforts to undo whiteness as an identity and…
