The Liberation Pledge
While addressing the harms of animal agriculture and industrial fishing requires systemic change
—e.g., banning the sale of meat—
individual level activism is needed to get there, and the Liberation Pledge is a particularly effective option.
The Liberation Pledge entails a commitment to never eat around those consuming animal products.
By doing so, the Pledge enables activists to more effectively challenge the harms of animal agriculture and industrial fishing than via passive veganism alone.
The more I've thought about the Liberation Pledge, the more I've come to believe in its efficacy.
This page presents the work I've done on the topic. I hope these resources help readers come to share my support for the Pledge, and in doing so, empower readers to take the Pledge themselves.
