How can the animal advocacy movement create a safe space for those who used to work in industries that exploit animals and now seek to advocate for the best interest of animals and change the system?

What are the roadblocks that keep them from speaking up?

Why are conversations on mental health and support often ignored and what can we as activists do to address this void?

What was Maddie's journey going from a former primate laboratory worker to an animal sanctuary work?

We explore all this and more in this insightful conversation with Maddie Krasno, co-founder of the non-profit, Justify, which seeks to empower folks who desire to speak up but fear retaliation from their places of work and animal activists.

Maddie also discusses her ongoing free speech lawsuits with the University of Wisconsin Madison and the National Institutes of Health for suppressing her voice when sharing her experiences working in a primate research laboratory during her undergraduate days.

Tune into this exciting conversation with AAM mentor and dedicated animal activist, Dr. Faraz Harsini.

Dr. Harsini delves into his history in various social justice movements in his hometown in Iran that led him to the Animal Liberation cause.

With a doctorate in Biomedical Sciences focusing on Cell Physiology and Molecular Biophysics and extensive background as a biomedical scientist in pharmaceutical companies,  involvement in clinical trials, and more, Dr. Harsini's expertise has been immensely valuable in advocating for the need to transition away from using animals in biomedical research toward ethical, human-relevant methods. He is currently a Cultivated Meat Bioprocessing Senior Scientist at the Good Food Institute.

He is also the Founder and CEO of Allied Scholars for Animal Protection (ASAP), a nonprofit seeking to establish a national network of animal advocate students at universities and empowering them to pursue professional careers where their knowledge and expertise will benefit countless animals.

We even talk about his @SelenaGomez tweet that made him go viral on social media AND raised awareness of the importance of respecting and being kind to all species!

Today, we have the honor of speaking with a remarkable Animal Liberation activist from Chennai, India- Samaran Thamarai.

When Samaran realized that "ethical vegetarianism" didn't align with his stance against ALL animal exploitation, he decided to dedicate his work and commitment to Animal Liberation. Since then, he has given various radio and television interviews on mainstream platforms in Chennai, been invited as a guest speaker at universities, and organized regular outreach events in public spaces to spread the social justice message of Animal Liberation.

In this conversation, we talk about-

• Samaran's story that inspired his activism
• Religious misperceptions when it comes to how certain animal species are considered superior to others
• Caste and religion-based roots of vegetarian diets
• Why vegans for animal liberation must oppose the beef ban in India
• And so much more!

Folks can follow and support Samaran and his organization, LIFE- Liberation and Independence for Earthlings- on social media.
