Veg Out 581: Social Media and Vegan Activism

On this episode, Jeanette and Jen are exploring the role of social media in vegan activism and advocacy, and we are joined by our guest, and fellow Toronto vegan, Jonathan! Jonathan runs an amazing blog and social media profile called Veggie in the 6ix, which helps to make veganism both accessible and enjoyable with its wealth of restaurant, travel and product info. Together, we have a great discussion about the benefits and challenges of using social media to promote the vegan lifestyle in today’s landscape. We also chat about some strategies to consider when thinking about using social media to share your own message so be sure to have a listen to get these insights!
