Think Like a Vegan: Ep.37: Beyond Appeasement: Finding our Ethical Spine edits: description and tags <💬> We need more vegans. We need strategies. But for these to stick, it's the context we must transform. That requires courage. In 1950, Leslie Cross, a Vegan Society founder, wrote veganism was a liberatory movement.

This July, the European Court of Human Rights affirmed ethical veganism as a protected belief under Article 9 as not a lifestyle choice, but a serious moral conviction. Courage gets recognised.Rooted in Cross's vision, in that ruling, and in the insights of Angela Davis and Antonio Gra
