In this webinar, psychologist Melanie Joy explains the psychology that causes us to believe that certain individuals and groups are more worthy of being treated with respect than others. She explains the mentality that underlies oppression and abuse and which can cause advocates for compassion and justice to engage in the very behaviors they’re trying to transform. She also talks about how to use this understanding to help create a more empowered vegan movement.

A recording of the webinar will be made available to those who register for the event.
