See all- Book Club Discussion (virtual): A Path Towards Justice (video)Link visible for attendees
VegMichigan and Attorneys for Animals have been hosting this book club for two years to explore the interconnections of veganism and broader social justice issues. We are changing things up a bit this time--rather than discussing a book, we will talk about a video: "A Path Towards Food Justice" (a presentation by lauren Ornelas from @FoodEmpowermentProject, for VegMichigan in June, 2023). lauren is the founding director of Food Empowerment Project, a vegan food justice organization. She discusses the organization's core work of promoting ethical veganism, championing the rights of farm workers, highlighting the lack of access to healthy foods in Black and Brown communities, and raising awareness about the worst forms of slavery, including child labor, in the chocolate industry. This video ties in well to the book we read last time, The American Way of Eating, which focused on workers in the American food system.
Please watch the video here before our discussion!
You will need to register here to receive the Zoom link for the meeting. Upon registration, Zoom will send you an email with the link to join the discussion.
We look forward to seeing you!
