Day 13 🗡️✍️🗳️

“In Australia, in a #democracy, you make your #arguments with #words, not #weapons,” he told Sunrise.

“If people want to come up to us and have a chat, they can.”

“If they don’t like us, then they might mumble something under their breath or cross the road – you never want to see the sorts of threats of #physical #violence happen, like we’ve seen #overseas.” — Member for #Blaxland

Does Australia and Australians need violence for political change? NO, thats why we vote.

Both major Political parties have “Pay to meet the Politician” programs for the largest bidders, so saying the public can chat to any Politician, especially serving members is unrealistic & patronising.

"People are quitting veganism. Is this why?" by Earthling Ed

<💬>
In today's video, I am talking about ex-vegans. However, rather than focussing on this issue from the perspective of influencers making videos announcing they're no longer vegan, I wanted to approach this conversation by talking about everyday people who stop being vegan.

To do this, I focus on two types of vegans. The first being the vegan who dives headfirst into the community and becomes completely immersed in veganism, and the second being the person who goes vegan on their own with no support from their family or social circles.

To paraphrase JFK a bit:

" We choose to go Vegan... We choose to go to Vegan in this moment, not because it's easy, but because it's hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone."
