What happens when decades of social justice activism, animal liberation, veganism, and spiritual exploration come together?
In this episode, I’m joined by Nancy Kogel, longtime animal liberation activist, writer, videographer, interviewer, and author of Unified Field of Compassion: The Revolutionary Synthesis of Consciousness, Veganism, and Liberation.
Nancy’s path to veganism began in 1972, when a fellow worker introduced her to the idea that humans could live and thrive without eating animals. As she learned more about the suffering involved in the dairy and egg industries, her activism increasingly focused on animal liberation.
But Nancy’s activism didn’t begin with animals. Her roots go back to the social justice movements of the early 1970s, including workers’ rights, Indigenous solidarity, antiwar activism, and revolutionary organizing. In this conversation, we explore how those early experiences shaped her understanding of veganism and why she sees human liberation, animal liberation, and planetary healing as deeply interconnected.
We also talk about her book Unified Field of Compassion, the role of consciousness and compassion in creating change, and what decades of activism have taught her about the vegan movement.
