If we can help Californians pass legislation that will end the use of sow gestation crates, crates for calves slaughtered for veal, and give protections for downer cows, then the rest of the nation will [...]

Many thanks to my friend Pepromene for sending along this newsletter from the artist Saul Williams. So, I’m reading this letter and I’m on board with Saul’s ideology (even if I’m not always a fan of his music) and thinking to myself: “Dude, if you really want to make a change on this planet, go [...]
