Read more about their food system change work and their critical efforts to build a stronger and more effective movement here.

Check out a recent Faunalytics article, How Charitable Giving (Still) Perpetuates Inequity Among Nonprofits, in which Brooke highlights the barriers that BIPOC fundraisers experience and why funding BIPOC-led organizations is important if we want to achieve large-scale change for animals. Much gratitude to Brooke and many others who continue to call attention to where the mainstream farmed animal protection movement has room to create greater impact.

We also read great proposals this year from organizations like Afro-Vegan Society, Hip Hop is Green, Texas Eats Green, Iye Bako, Holistic Wellness and Health, A Table in the Wilderness,  and others. Please consider connecting with these organizations if you are seeking food justice and animal rights community partnerships!
