Highly recommend this quick read on white veganism from @zipporahthevegan! Link in bio ✨⠀

“Reconsider why you are vegan and how you are influencing others because it just doesn’t make sense to fight so fiercely for non-human animals whilst actively silencing POC, disabled people, poor people, and more. If you’re going to care about animals, care about all of them – humans included (and not just the ones that have the same lived experiences as you which would make it easy for them to go vegan).”

As Pride Month comes to a close, let’s commit to caring about and supporting Black trans people all year-round!
⠀
I was lucky to attend two LGBTQ+ BLM marches this month and hear wonderful speeches by inspirational drag queens and trans and gender non-conforming folks here in Chicago.
⠀
There is so much intersectionality to learn and understand and I’m grateful to the organizers and speakers for helping us do that!
⠀
Social media is great and super accessible; but if you have the ability, I highly recommend attending demonstrations in your community to learn from the folks on the ground in your area. I promise you’ll learn a ton and be more informed about how to make a difference in your own community.
⠀
I’ve been donating to @bravespacealliance, a fantastic Black-led, trans-led LGBTQ Center on the South Side of Chicago. They do so much important work and I highly recommend you check them out AND donate. Supporting orgs like Brave Space Alliance is a key way that white folks can put their money where their hearts and mouths and values are.
⠀
How will you commit to supporting Black trans people?

Pssst... @encouragingdietitian has a v important message:
⠀
“it’s harder to care about someone else’s struggle when you’re hungry.
⠀
dismantling diet culture takes time. it takes time to dismantle anti-black and anti-fat beliefs. it takes time to unlearn biases that we’ve believed. it takes time to learn new truths.
⠀
all that learning requires energy. we must nourish ourselves if we want to create lasting change. the impact you leave on this world is far more important than the size of my pants."

Am I a cliche with the pasta? Maybe so but that’s because it’s legit. Affordable, accessible, versatile, delicious and packed with energizing carbohydrates!
⠀
Toss with your fave sauce and veggies and top with roasted chickpeas for a punch of protein and fiber to help keep you full and satisfied.
⠀
Make sure you eat a solid meal and are hydrated before heading out to march or protest. Bring snacks and water but also try to minimize the frequency of touching or removing your mask to put something in your mouth. And sanitize those hands!

Very grateful for my introduction to anti-oppressi

Very grateful for my introduction to anti-oppression work over a decade ago. 🙏🏼 I don’t believe I’d be where I am today in my social justice knowledge and activism if it weren’t for veganism.
⠀
I didn’t grow up in a house that talked about oppression. I grew up in a conservative house where meritocracy ruled and “liberal” was the worst name you could call somewhere.
⠀
Veganism and anti-racism are not counterproductive - they are complementary!
⠀
Once we address our role as an oppressor we begin to see how we can be a part of positive change to liberate all bodies! But first we have to be willing to swallow our pride and sit in the discomfort of examining our roles in our oppressive, capitalistic system.
⠀
No one wants to be believe that they’re harmful. I know that it’s tough to admit that you’re part of the problem. But it’s critical to moving forward and making true progress.
⠀
Here’s to sitting in the discomfort - I’m right here with you!

The Lakefront Trail in Chicago has officially reop

The Lakefront Trail in Chicago has officially reopened for socially distanced walking, running and jogging! 😍🌊
⠀
I’ve lived in the city for 7 years and have always lived near the lake. As a big nature lover I *need* some accessible nature and the ability to see a horizon, something you can go weeks or months without in the city if you don’t make the effort. 🏙
⠀
It’s been tough being cooped up inside and I was so grateful to see and smell the water, feel the sunshine and look at that beautiful skyline again. 🙏🏼
⠀
Here’s your reminder to do something for yourself today. 💓 Self-care is critical to maintaining our mental and physical stamina for activism. It doesn’t have to be outside and it doesn’t have to be active. Do a quick scan and see what you need! Can you carve out a little time to fulfill that need and make it a priority?
⠀
⠀
P.S. COVID cases are on the rise in many areas and we’re far from over this pandemic. PLEASE wear a mask and maintain your distance from folks, and avoid unnecessary services, travel and outings. I personally am very annoyed with my awkwardly growing out bangs and hair but I’m not getting a haircut anytime soon. It’s not worth it! Let’s help keep each other safe by keeping our droplets to ourselves by minimizing interactions and wearing masks. ❤️

So well said by @hgoodrichrd!

In healthcare we care about people’s health - pretty obvious, right?

Stigma and discrimination are linked to poor physical, mental and emotional health outcomes.

So, to care about health means to fight all systems of oppression and ensure a welcoming, inclusive, validating, affirming and safe healthcare space for all.

Did you know that veganism is a powerful stance ag

Did you know that veganism is a powerful stance against exploitation not just of non-human animals, but of people of color, indigenous communities, those with low incomes, and the environment?
⠀
In fact, it’s one way to fight injustices against the most vulnerable people on our planet and the planet itself!
⠀
Veganism alone won’t save us but it’s a super impactful movement toward total liberation.
⠀
In my 11+ years as a vegan, I’ve personally found this lifestyle to be a gateway to other social justice movements and forms of activism. From food justice to ethically-made clothing and body liberation to fighting the climate crisis, veganism helped open my eyes to the injustices of the world and empower me to take action.
⠀
If you’re new to the interconnectedness of the oppression of non-human animals and the oppression of Black people, check out the books Veganism in an Oppressive World and Veganism of Color. They’re beautiful collections of essays by vegans of color explaining what consistent anti-oppression means.
⠀
The quote in this image is from the new edition of Vegan for Life, a nutrition book written by 2 vegan registered dietitians who I look up to so much! They’re committed to veganism as a social justice movement and helping folks do so healthfully. It’s a must-have resource for anyone who is vegan or vegan-curious (or working with vegan patients/clients). And if you’re wondering, yes veganism is compatible with intuitive eating! I’ve got loads of resources about that on my website (and a freebie - link in bio). ⠀
