Vegans For Palestine Podcast
Vegans for Palestine Podcast is the first of its kind. It is a podcast by vegan Palestinians about all things both vegan and Palestinian. This podcast is dedicated to empowering Palestinian veganism and raises the voices of vegan supporters of Palestine across the world. Also, this podcast will be in English so our English speaking audience can learn about the aspirations and experiences of Palestinian vegans and our allies. The Vegans for Palestine Podcast emerged from a community of the same name. This community is an intersectional, anticolonial, antiracist global vegan movement dedicated to the liberation of human and non-human animals across historical Palestine.
