Episode 19 - Tylor Starr

How can we create the magic of freedom for the Animals? This inspirational interview with our guest—activist, and hardcore Harry Potter fan—Tylor Starr might be the perfect potion for your dose of inspiration! Tylor and AAM mentor Shriya chat about Tylor's childhood stories that sparked his fire for Animal Liberation and love for Harry Potter. In time, he would bring these two passions together to Co-Create the Protego Foundation, a Wizarding World-themed non-profit organization. He is also a proud nerd when it comes to the history of the Grassroots, Direct Action Animal Rights Movement. Owing to this avid interest, he joined forces with former podcast guest, and our favorite uber strategic activist, Jake Conroy, to start the Radicals and Revolutionaries podcast. Each episode features OG activists from the early days of direct action, which will leave you rib-tickled and awe-inspired!Shriya and Tylor also discuss the evolution of the direct action space, the representation of Black, Indigenous, and People of the Global Majority, and other marginalized groups in "high risk" actions, and the importance of the increasing, essential discourse around centering diversity and equity in the animal rights movement.This is a conversation you do NOT want to miss!Follow Tylor on Instagram, TwitterFollow Protego Foundation on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTubeCheck out the Protegocast hereCheck out the Chickpeeps podcast hereGet your hands on Protego Foundation's new vegan Harry Potter-themed cookbook!To support AAM's work, head over to our Patreon! To keep up with the podcast, follow @AnimalActivismMentorship on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube. Join the conversation in the AAM club on Clubhouse and the Animal Activism Mentorship Community Facebook group.Want to get active for the animals but don't know where to start? Sign up for a free mentor at AnimalActivismMentorship.comAAM is fueled by FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement).Please remember to rate, review, and subscribe to the podcast!
