In this episode, Mexie speaks with Connie Spence (aka Vegan Batgirl), founder of the Agriculture Fairness Alliance and Liberation 360, organizations that work to lobby policymakers to change the laws that govern industrial agriculture and educate the public around how Big Ag operates. As Connie aptly points out, laws aren’t changed in the grocery store, and our taxes largely cancel out any good done through consumer-based activism for animal liberation. We cover a lot in this conversation, including novel zoonotic diseases that are a direct result of animal agriculture, and end on a high note with the progress being made by the Agriculture Fairness Alliance in lobbying for institutional change.
