Thank you for sharing so many thoughts. I encourage you to push further, and I’m intersted in talking or collaborating as well. I have been involved in different types of direct advocacy in the past and have been most active in recent years as a donor—primarily to groups I believe may move animal product alternatives forward and which are being overlooked by other donors.
One thing I’ve been curious about is whether doing explicit moral education is useful and in what mode. Animal Ethics is the group that comes to mind that seems to be doing the most of this, and most closely aligned with abolitionism. I mean, they seem to be delivering moral arguments at various levels—from academic to the street—and in different modes. My assumption is that helping to spread simply put, common sense arguments for animal rights will an important and necessary part of moving to abolition.
