Vegan Praxis of Black Lives Matter: Challenging Neoliberal Whiteness While Building Solidarity Among Vegans of Color and Allies web conference starts tomorrow April 24-25 2015 April 23, 2015

Just wanted to send a friendly reminder that the Vegan Praxis of Black Lives Matter: Challenging Neoliberal Whiteness While Building Solidarity Among Vegans of Color and Allies web conference starts tomorrow: http://www.sistahveganconference.com . Economic hardship scholarships are still available. A ticket grants you free access to the recordings, which is great if you can’t make the entire conference’s live talks and workshops. 

The Feminist Wire (http://thefeministwire.com/2015/04/vegan-praxis-black-lives-matter-and-water-rationing-a-conversation-with-dr-a-breeze-harper/) published an article about it and so did Cuisine Noir (http://www.cuisinenoirmag.com/theme/at-the-intersection-of-veganism-and-human-rights-with-dr-a-breeze-harper).
