10:00-10:50 am -Building the Food Movement: an Imperative for Social Justice and Animal Liberation - Nassim Nobari (Seed the Commons) A strong grassroots food movement has sprung up in response to the industrialization and corporate takeover of our global food system. With its focus on small-scale farming and urban gardening, this movement is vital to creating a more just and sustainable world. However, it tends to favor animal-based agriculture, which legitimizes animal exploitation and makes it challenging for vegans to contribute to the movement. Nassim will speak about the importance and the power of truly reclaiming our food systems from the ground up, and she will share ideas on how we can do so as we continue to work towards animal liberation.

10:00-10:50 am - Using Humane Education Elements and Strategies to Teach Food Justice - Liz Walch (H.E.A.R.T) This presentation will provide an introduction to humane education, its purpose, and its pedagogical techniques. While humane education covers a range of topics, this program will focus on how it can be used as an effective strategy for educating youth about food justice issues. Examples of food justice lessons relating to people, animals, and the environment, developed by H.E.A.R.T. educators, will be weaved through out the presentation. The activities will demonstrate what these educational practices look like in action. To conclude, attendees will be challenged to brainstorm ways they can utilize humane education in their own lives and advocacy efforts.

Progressive social movements are intertwined on many levels, and when we work for animals, we are working at the roots. This is what guides me, as well as the work of the Animal Legal Defense Fund to protect the lives and advance the interests of animals in the legal system. Let's explore how social movements intersect and how this strengthens the fight for animals' rights.
