Episode 15: Are Carnism and White Supremacy Related?

Do carnism (the opposite of veganism) and white supremacy have anything in common? Actually, yes! Zipporah the Vegan joins Alisha to talk about why white dominance, much like carnism, is difficult to do away with. They discuss the systems that allow both carnism and white supremacy to prevail in our society and why both the vegan and anti-racist movements receive so much pushback. Zipporah also describes how veganism can be a part of a larger social justice framework and addresses the need for white vegans to move away from single issue activism.
