As vegans of color, we fight for nonhuman animal rights, yet we also have to fight for our own rights in a world based on white supremacy and systemic oppression.

“I always wanted to be a sad white girl. I wanted to be sad like Lana Del Rey. I wanted a sadness so universal, it'd move everyone to tears. A sadness everyone could related to. "I want a summertime, summertime sadness".
My sadness is about domestic violence, homelessness, gender dysphoria, intergenerational trauma passed down from Salvdorean Civil War, etc, etc.
My sadness is something to observe, consume, sympathize, but NOT EMPATHAZE WITH (not to mobilize for). Most people do not know how to interact with my sadness. My sadness is so multifaceted, it speaks twenty languages.”

“La vida buena no es igualmente accesible para todos. La pertenencia de clase, el género, el color de la piel, la raza, la nacionalidad y la casta generan disparidades, desigualdades de estatus y de poder que influyen de forma significativa en el bienestar individual. Estas diferencias estructurales influyen de manera dramática e importante en el acceso a la salud, en la trayectoria educativa y profesional, en el tratamiento de los casos individuales por el sistema judicial, en las condiciones de la vida cotidiana, en el futuro de los hijos y hasta en las tasas de mortalidad. ¿Qué realización personal cabe esperar si no se dan las condiciones mínimas que puedan favorecerla? Hacer creer que unos ejercicios de autoayuda bastan para remediar la ausencia de transfor- mación social no es solo una visión cortoplacista sino también repug- nante desde el punto de vista moral.46”

“The Witch, however, is a woman who stands entirely on her own. She is more often than not an outsider, and her gift is transformation. She is a change agent, and her work is sparked by speech: an incantation, a naming, a blessing, a curse.”

“I WONDER IF HEAVEN GOT A GAY GHETTO
Lorde know(s) cis-hets don`t like me
Baldwin know(s) how white homos exoticize me
I hope heaven got a gay ghetto
Where my QPOC family don`t feel shame
Don`t feel too brown or black
Or femme or phat
Don`t get shame for being free
Don`t get lonely, don`t get sa(i)d
You know, he`s gunna meet white jesus
Shiet, he probably already got a picure
with white jesus
signed and framed on his wall
Mother Mary // Virgin Mother // fucker”
