Episode 1: Interview with Sorin Ionescu and Alyssa Berris of Vegan Option Canada

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!
