IMPORTANT NOTE <\/b><\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Before reading the following discussion… <\/b><\/h6>\n\n\n\n
It is imperative that vegans understand that vegans from different communities experience veganism differently from one another, particularly due to intersecting oppressions that they cannot leave at the door simply because they are engaging in veganism\/Animal Rights. For example, there is a difference between speciesism as experienced by white vegans and \u201cracialized speciesism\u201d (read more on this in the section Making Connections \u201cin the name of food\u201d<\/i> by Julia Feliz Brueck in Food Justice: A Primer<\/i><\/a>), which means People of Color even have a completely  different experience and relationship with speciesism beyond the basic definition experienced by white folks. Therefore, the following guidelines are primarily addressed to the mainstream white and non-Black majority in order to help the movement become consistently anti-oppression by working with local activists, supporting vegans of color and other marginalized people reach their own (the world\u2019s majority), and becoming aware that veganism will remain stagnant if it continues as it is.<\/b><\/h6>\n\n\n\n
