Ep. 1 : Exclusion (and more) within the Mainstream Animal Rights Movement Radicalize The Roots

    • Politics

For this first episode of Radicalize the Roots, my dear friend Poli and I discuss how exclusion, as well as misogyny and other oppressive behaviours, are rampant in the mainstream animal rights movement, specifically in the big orgs. Super specifically, one organization in particular...

A quick content warning- sexual harrassment & rape is brought up, also the threat of those and murder as a result of doing activism...

Poli Sotomayor is a pro-intersectional activist and nomad living in Mexico. She has been doing activism for 20 years now, starting with environmentalism, then 5 years into that, adding feminism to her roster and most recently, 6 years ago, bringing anti-speciesist activism to the mix. She has a masters in communications & politics and a PHD in social sciences. She is a force to be reckoned with and has the absolute biggest heart.
