What the hell is up? Welcome back to a brand new episode of Jamie’s Corner–This time, I’m joined by the one and only Gary Yourofsky.
Gary is a longtime animal rights activist known for his unapologetic approach and viral speeches that have inspired thousands to go vegan. In this episode, we dive into powerful topics like intersectionality, burnout, division within the movement, school outreach, arrests, effective activism, and much more.
This podcast exists to give space for open, honest conversations around veganism. You might not agree with everything Gary says—and that’s totally okay. Whether you’re nodding along or raising your eyebrows, I invite you to share your thoughts respectfully. Let’s keep the dialogue open and grounded in mutual care for the animals.
