In this week's show, I interviewed Gad Hakimi, the lead designer of the International Vegan Flag. In our
interview, we spoke about the story of the flag, the need for vegans to
be activists, and the reasons why veganism has become much more popular
in Israel in recent years.
For more information about the vegan flag, please visit VeganFlag.org.
This episode also includes an animal rights news segment. The theme song is "I am Vegan Hear Me Roar" by Vegan Smythe. Today's episode also includes "Groovy Vegan Song" by Vegan Smythe.

Welcome to the first episode of Always for
Animal Rights! In Episode 1, I interviewed Alyssa Berris and Sorin Ionescu, two
of the co-founders of Vegan Option Canada. I volunteer with Vegan Option
Canada, so I already knew Sorin and Alyssa before interviewing them.
As mentioned on Vegan Option Canada’s
website, “Vegan Option Canada (VOC) is a nationwide grassroots political
activism organization that aims to ensure vegan options are available in a
variety of areas, particularly vegan food options. Its founding principles are
horizontality, decentralization of power, and a pragmatic approach based on the
values of compassion and non-violence.”
One of Vegan Option Canada's main projects is a petition calling on the Canadian government to require all canteens at government-run institutions (including schools, hospitals, prisons, etc.) to include a vegan option on the menu.
You can learn more about Vegan Option
Canada and get involved by visiting VOC’s website.
This episode also includes an animal rights
news segment.
AFAR’s theme song comes from the song “I am
Vegan Hear Me Roar” by Vegan Smythe. You can listen to the whole song on YouTube. Thanks so much to Vegan Smythe for letting me use your music on my
show!
