In this interview, Marieke tells me about what led her to become vegan and learn about the Abolitionist Approach to Animal Rights. She describes the current state of veganism and animal advocacy in the Netherlands, and she tells me about her abolitionist vegan advocacy, how we can educate others about veganism in a nonviolent way, and what would happen if all vegans abandoned single-issue campaigning and welfare reforms and instead started promoting an unequivocal vegan message. We also discuss what Marieke found when she came across a dairy farm while on a walk.
At the end of the show we'll hear the song "How Do I Go Vegan" by the abolitionist vegan singer-songwriter Gülce Özen Gürkan.
It's always inspiring to have discussions with grassroots abolitionist educators from around the world, and this interview was no exception. Thanks to Marieke for being a guest on the show!
