How can the animal advocacy movement create a safe space for those who used to work in industries that exploit animals and now seek to advocate for the best interest of animals and change the system?
What are the roadblocks that keep them from speaking up?
Why are conversations on mental health and support often ignored and what can we as activists do to address this void?
What was Maddie's journey going from a former primate laboratory worker to an animal sanctuary work?
We explore all this and more in this insightful conversation with Maddie Krasno, co-founder of the non-profit, Justify, which seeks to empower folks who desire to speak up but fear retaliation from their places of work and animal activists.
Maddie also discusses her ongoing free speech lawsuits with the University of Wisconsin Madison and the National Institutes of Health for suppressing her voice when sharing her experiences working in a primate research laboratory during her undergraduate days.
