Connie Spence is the founder of Vegan Justice League and the Agriculture
Fairness Alliance. The Vegan Justice League educates vegan advocates about the
issue of farm subsidies, and the Agricultural Fairness Alliance is a federal
lobbying group influencing legislation to bring fairness back to farm policy by
ending subsidies and bailouts.

Connie has utilized creative tactics in her vegan activism. Using a large stage
light, Connie has projected vegan messages onto buildings that could be seen
from half a mile away. These seven-story tall projections have been shown in
diverse locations such as on the Staples Center, on Las Vegas hotels, on
freeways in Los Angeles, and many other prominent locations.

Now, through her two sister organizations, she is dedicated to educating the
community about how the food system is monopolized and rigged by livestock
farmers and what we need to do to solve it. Agriculture Fairness Alliance is
sponsoring federal legislation that will divert subsidies to programs that help
struggling animal farmers transition to sustainable, plant-based, cruelty-free
farming. Learn more about how to support this legislation here.

UPC's Hope for the Animals Podcast covers a variety of farmed animal issues
including the ethical, environmental, spiritual, heartbreaking, and heartwarming
aspects of living vegan. The podcast will feature engaging conversations with
special guests on the critical reasons for living a vegan lifestyle covering
issues such as the humane hoax, effective communication and outreach in animal
advocacy, and current events that are relevant to the protection of animals. We
hope you will enjoy this fresh and innovative form of outreach and help us by
sharing it with your online community.
