“"An important, provocative and accessible book. It has an urgent message for us all."”

"Antiracism in Animal Advocacy is at least three critically important things: (1) an honest reckoning of oppression in an anti-oppression movement, (2) a collective call to antiracist action from people across that movement, and (3) a clear vision for what a truly justice-based animal advocacy movement could--and ought--to be."--Paul Gorski, Founder of the Equity Literacy Institute
