Tune in and listen to Ahlam's amazing work as the co-founder of Baladi Animal Rescue and Vegan in Palestine. Ahlam explains her intersectional vegan philosophy that is anti-colonial and anticapitalist, and describes her amazing work on the ground in Palestine that has been instrumental in setting up a unique, Palestinian vegan community in the Homeland. Rayan and Ahlam discuss the need for intersectional veganism in ways that challenge the israeli colonial project's efforts to erase both human and non-human animals in Palestine. Also, Ahlam reflects on the terribly disappointing silences regarding the genocide among single issue vegans who are part of some global vegan communities, and discusses the need for global vegans to centre Palestinian vegan voices and support vegan initiatives in Palestine.
