FREE VSH Lecture: Leslie Ashburn presents Compassionate Activism (Oahu)

This talk will explore the links between the function of what is called "the absent referent" in the meat eating culture to other forms of oppression, like racism, sexism, and the destruction of the environment, showing how underlying all of these is the same belief system. It helps us understand the way oppressions become interconnected and shows how a healthy approach to a plant-based diet is an important way to address pertinent social issues of our time. If you care about making the world a better place, this talk is for you!
