"Growl: Life Lessons, Hard Truths, and Bold Strategies from an Animal Advocate"
with Kim Stallwood of the United Kingdom
internationally acclaimed scholar, author, and advisor

                                            Kim W. Stallwood with Beano

4 PM - Speaker/Seminar (FREE)

5:15 PM - Vegan Buffet / Social Dinner

For four decades, Kim Stallwood has had a front seat in the animal rights movement, starting at the grassroots in England and working his way up to leadership positions at some of the best-known organizations in the world. Yet, as Stallwood reveals in his new memoir of a life dedicated to social justice for other species, finding the truest path for progress means learning a lot along the way. Kim will share personal narrative, social history, and a call for rethinking animal advocacy. Kim will recount some of his journey from a meat-eating slaughterhouse worker to a vegan and activist. He will explain the importance of four key values in animal rights philosophy and practice — compassion, truth, nonviolence, and justice — and how a deeper understanding of their role not only leads us to discover our humanity for animals, but also for ourselves.
