📣📚✊ Join us for the third meeting of The Uncaged Page, St. Louis’ only vegan book club, as we discuss “Advocate for Animals!,” a groundbreaking handbook on abolitionist vegan advocacy by Gary L. Francione and Anna Charlton!
World Vegan Month is a time to reflect on where we’ve come from and where we are going, as individuals and a movement, and to master the tools of activism and advocacy best suited to our skills, local context, and cultural moment.
Written by two of the original pioneers of the abolitionist approach, this compact handbook argues that the problem isn’t how we treat animals but that we use them at all, and that the answer is creative, nonviolent vegan education.
Packed with practical guidance, it will show you how to:
🧭 ground your advocacy in the core principles of the abolitionist approach
🗣️ talk about veganism and answer common objections with confidence
🍎 bring the vegan message to communities facing poverty and food deserts
🎓 and choose education over welfare reform and single-issue campaigns
As The Uncaged Page vegan book club, we seek to liberate our hearts and minds from the prejudices that bind us, to liberate our nonhuman friends from captivity and exploitation, and to liberate our world from injustice, one page at a time.
The Uncaged Page Book Club is for you if you:
💚 enjoy learning more about veganism, animal rights, and social justice
🧠 desire stimulating conversations about thought-provoking issues connected to animals
✊ want to help animals by educating yourself about their plights, effective activism, and much more
A project of Project Animal Freedom, this initiative takes place at Adina’s Vegan Cuisine on the third Wednesday of every month. Missed our first two meetings? No problem! Each month’s book stands on its own, so newcomers are always welcome.
At 214 pages, it’s a quick read. Short on time? Prioritize the chapters on the abolitionist approach, the sample discussions, and veganism and poverty.
