Animal Rights

[close] Hi everyone, This is a reading group for all self-defining women who want to learn more about anti-speciesism and about the intersections of animal and human women. The purpose of this group is to reclaim the space which especially in animal rights circles has been taken away from women (who make up the larger part of the movement). It is vital however, that as feminists, we organise across the board, uniting all social movements in which we are involved, thus all women are invited to join, regardless of their dietary choices. We do ask however, if food/drinks will be brought to the meetings, they be completely vegan (if you aren't sure what that entails feel free to contact Aga Trzak with any questions) The first book we will read will be Carol Adams' The Sexual Politics of meat. http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?an=carol+adams&sts=t&tn=sexual+politics+of+meat If you don't get it from a bookshop or a library you can buy it on here. http://www.bookdepository.com/ or http://www.abebooks.co.uk/ and of course amazon, who are infamous for their oppressive working conditions and tax avoidance. The location will be decided based on how big the demand is. We are looking forward to seeing you!

[close] A group to share and discuss vegan cookbooks and related resources.

[close] Starting on December 1st and lasting through December 21st, Erik Marcus will lead a discussion of his book Meat Market: Animals, Ethics, & Money. We'll explore different approaches to advocating for vegan living and animal protection, and give considerable attention to possibilities surrounding the dismantlement of animal agribusiness. This group will feature participation by some of the best known advocates in the animal protection movement. It'll be a great opportunity for both beginning and long-time advocates to communicate with others who are passionate about animal protection, while discussing approaches that can lead to greater personal effectiveness.
