Not buying is political. Refusing exploitation disrupts demand and creates room for ethical alternatives. Our shopping carts can be sites of transformation, not just of goods, but of systems, values, and futures. Veganism can spark a world beyond violence and exploitation.

🌱 Not Consuming as Political Practice: Veganism, Boycott, and Ethical Consumption

Veganism is more than a diet; it’s a political stance rejecting the exploitation of animals, women, queer individuals, and nature — all intertwined through patriarchal-capitalist domination.

[Queer PSY-Force @_queerpsyforce]

Consumption choices reflect our values. Veganism becomes a daily act of resisting systemic violence and supporting environmental justice, sustainability, and social equality (Singer, 1975; Twine, 2010).

✨ Lab expectations include: bi-weekly meetings, collaborative work (e.g., article reading, poster design, presentations), and commitment to shared learning.
