Shake the Earth
And then Harley stormed the stage. (At the Animal Rebellion protest in front of the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs – when the police tried to clear us out due to Covid guidelines.) Her words were completely extemporaneous – and yet perfectly composed. “We are here to prevent the next pandemic. Because this is just a rehearsal.” She was pure moral passion. Her speech shook the Earth. It was a privilege to be there to witness it. 👊🏼😍💚
Shortly after, Bel Jacobs a scheduled speaker, with actual prepared remarks came on. One of the most brilliant and powerful writers and speakers I've ever heard, she's made me cry more than once. If you think continuing to torture and kill 200 million animals a day for food is an option for humanity and its survival, I urge you with all my heart to listen to this. 💚
