Invisible Advocates: How the Social Justice Movement Influences Animal Advocacy

Though efforts have been made within the animal advocacy movement to recognize intersections with human rights campaigns, the latter are frequently classified as belonging to “other movements” that are separate and apart from animal advocacy. Using real-life examples, presenters will explore ways in which individuals, communities, and groups have made transformative contributions (often unknowingly) to the success of animal advocacy through the framework of social justice. This webinar is intended to bring awareness and appreciation to the many forms of hidden contributions that contribute to victories in animal advocacy.

Speakers:

From Companions and Animals for Reform & Equity (CARE):

Akisha Townsend Eaton, Chief of Policy, Environmental Justice Division
Aline Silva, Senior Director of Environmental Justice & Policy and Housing Specialist
