Lecture at Cornell this Thursday from 4:30 - 6:30, by Intersectional Activist Christopher Sebastian entitled: Meat, Money, & Minorities: How Animal Agriculture Disproportionately Harms Poor Communities of Color. It will be held in Klarman Auditorium (KG70). The victims beyond the slaughterhouse are impoverished communities and minorities. This talk is the abridged version of Sebastian's class on power, oppression, and privilege at Columbia University where participants learn how anti-black racism and class discrimination are related to animal cruelty, and how incorporating animal rights and food empowerment into a broader socio-political agenda creates meaningful justice for all persons. Also hear why the mainstream animal rights movement's focus on food choices absent of the inclusion of an intersectional socio-political platform is just consumer capitalism for hobbyists.
