“…the (vegan) movement is the bottom and basis of all other movement towards purity, freedom, justice and happiness.”
As I approach my 10th year of veganism and full exposure to the meat and dairy industry etc, I am reminded of why I have always and WILL always put the lives of non-human animals at the forefront of my life choices and daily decisions.
Similarly, as I approach my 26th year of living (as an AFAB, queer person who is directly affected by the patriarchy just like everyone else) I am reminded of why I choose to fight for human rights on an intersectional level.
These two movements are congruent; reading this text gave me a better understanding, and helped put into perspective, of why that is.
