REPLAY: This episode is from the vault and originally premiered on March 30th, 2022.
Jake Conroy is a long-time activist, designer, and writer currently residing in Seattle, WA, USA. He helped organize and participated in successful local, regional, national, and international pressure campaigns. He also helped build the foundation of SHAC USA, considered one of the most successful grassroots animal rights campaigns in history. He and his co-organizers were arrested by the US government for their roles and dubbed the SHAC7. Jake and his codefendants were found guilty after a lengthy trial, and he was sentenced to 4 years in federal prison. In 2019, the Joaquin Phoenix produced documentary, The Animal People, was released, detailing the campaign and the controversial court case. Currently, Jake hosts the podcast Radicals & Revolutionaries and works at the Rainforest Action Network, an international organization using pressure campaigns to stop rainforest deforestation and fossil fuel extraction and support human rights. He can be found pontificating online as the Cranky Vegan, where he helps reimaginate the tactics, strategies, and optics of the grassroots animal rights movement. Connect with Jake on Instagram, YouTube, Patreon, or Facebook.
