My world has been pretty small for much of 2020. It is good to be on the other side of the year, yet we all keep working to change things. Happy New Year! Here are a few instances of the positives of 2020 for me. . #veganlife #happynewyear (at Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJhPdKBpmpt/?igshid=hh9umul65v7x

Today is World Vegan Day. I have been vegan for nearly 6 years today and I'll never turn back. Being vegan is even easier today, though it has a double edged sword. Being vegan and eating vegan can be both the least expensive way to live and the most expensive. Plant based processed foods do not have the benefit of government subsidies like animal products do. But rice and beans and leafy greens and legumes are still super cheap. . I work to change the laws by electing vegans to political office in America. We at the humane party are working hard to eliminate the exploitation of animals. . Want to go vegan and don't no how to start? Dm me and I'll help. . #worldveganday #veganlife #vegan (at Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHECEqiJqJz/?igshid=1h78dkw3vafnz

Reality check Reposted from @badassvegan For all the closet racists who want to deflect and put focus on things that don’t have to do with the subject at hand. This isn’t about an organization, A group or whatever bullshit conspiracy that people want to tie to the statement. Before any organization, it was a statement to say black lives matter also, we are just as important as anyone else. Notice I said just as important, meaning we are all important. It’s no conspiracy that In the United States between 2005 and 2020, of the 42 nonfederal police officers convicted following their arrest for murder due to an on-duty shooting, only five ended up being convicted of murder. Notice the key word “Murder”... not self defense. If “All” really means “all”... act like it. Half of you say all lives matter and then say some racist shit in the same damn sentence🤷🏾‍♂️you all hear equality and in your head it translates to special treatment. And look I am fully aware someone will read this meme and also this caption and still try to make it about something else... and to them I say I don’t give a fuck, I’ll still keep spitting the truth and you can continue to deceive yourself into thinking otherwise. Enjoy your Saturday Not sure who made this but I got it from my people over at @iloveblackpeopleapp @sinclairskinner. - #regrann (at Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD5NMIIJ60X/?igshid=q2jjxikvulu2

I have spent the last few weeks with self care as well as many other things. Visiting the office which continues to grow. Working out with my team at @novemberprojectmsp . Building a desk now that work from home is serious. And more importantly being there for those in my family that need help. A pandemic is a tremendously stressful time for everyone. And in my free time I veg out on Netflix AND educate myself about what I can do for humans and non-human species. Right now the humans need a lot of help and I am doing what I can which is working with others to learn all the things that our government didn't feel it was important to teach us. Way past time I did. Interested in helping the animals in a political way? Let's get vegans elected! @humaneparty is the only political party in the USA promoting abolishment of the use of non-human species. Literally the only one. We need vegan support. . . #veganlife #vegan #whatvegansdo #whathumansshoulddo https://www.instagram.com/p/CD41W62J7qn/?igshid=d2yytwa07yg

something important to know. You never see happy male bulls in those dairy commercials. That's because they torture and kill them young. Us buying dairy items is what supports this. Reposted from @nancy_f_w Is your plate causing this? In a world where nut milks, sour cream, cheeses and ice cream are delicious and available everywhere, there is so excuse for this abuse. #veg #plants #compassion #compassionateeating - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CD5MbBtpWXD/?igshid=mdptxta4taz7

Reposted from @eyeseeyoutoo_ Here to talk about the facts. Sick of the excuses from vegans who are racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, sexist, or hold any other oppressive beliefs & rely on their "passion for nonhuman animal rights" as an excuse to not be supportive and inclusive. Nonhuman animals would very likely be ashamed of you, as they show love to whoever is willing to show it back. Being a decent human being takes NOTHING away from nonhuman animal rights, if anything it makes more humans feel welcome to be part of the vegan movement. Wake up because you're only diminishing the amount of people who will want to live a vegan lifestyle/ become active with your harmful ideologies. - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CDC_WSUDwQf/?igshid=1xhzqtqabu3yv

We can't let our government keep pushing the problem from on place to the next. Hold them accountable and vote! Reposted from @mplssanctuary Instead of offering an alternative place for people to live, cops are bulldozing tents and arresting residents. The Park Board has not been clear about which parks are options for people to move to. People are being forced out, but there is nowhere to go. What is happening in Powderhorn Park has been happening for many, many years, just in a less visible way.

Vegans have to get political now. Reposted from @agriculture_fairness_alliance Follow @veganjusticeleague and @agriculture_fairness_alliance and join the vegan lobbying movement. We will continue to run in place with trying to liberate animals if we globally don't address taxes and govt propping up the livestock and dairy industries. The food system is rigged all over the world. The global food system will continue to use taxes to increase animal production even when the demand in their country doesn't even call for it. Doubling milk production from 188 million tons to 330 million. Doubling the cows inserted into a life of misery, forced repeated pregnancy and death of her babies... So that milk can sit on store shelves... Not sell in full and be thrown out with profits saved by taxes. "More milk produced Recently, the Indian dairy minister, Giriraj Singh while launching the guidelines for the implementation of AHIDF said that by 2024, the milk production is expected to reach 330 million tones, as compared to 188 million tonnes produced in 2019." #vegansofinstagram #veganism #vegansofig #veganactivism - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CDC-cZiDI1S/?igshid=wqhi363zmqb7

System racism means it is built in many places. Reposted from @daniellebelardomd Implicit bias based on race and amputations? By: @doctor.tarr (Swipe right for further studies and breakdown) During my residency, the most common surgeries I performed were amputations and wound debridements. Causes for non traumatic amputations can included complications from Diabetes, Chronic Kidney Disease, or Peripheral Vascular Disease. As we all know now, systemic racism (dietary patterns as a remnant of past generations being enslaved, food apartheid, inadequate access to healthcare, and understandable mistrust of the healthcare system as a whole) causes blacks in America to have higher rates of chronic diseases which leads to higher rates of amputations as a whole. These studies though looked at potential biases of surgeons when offering a revascularization procedure (when viable) in an attempt at limb salvage as opposed to primary amputation. Blacks were found to be offered an attempt at revascularization less than white patients even though co-morbidities and disease state of the limb were the same. As physicians, since we treat humans, any human rights issue is a health issue. Staying silent isn’t an option, and it speaks volumes. Choosing not to be aware of disparities a patient might face due to race especially is doing all patients a disservice. - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CDC9xatDWiA/?igshid=jwcpytj7har3

Not passing judgement... but kinda at the same time. What gives us the capacity to do what we do to animals is the same thing that allows us to treat other races how we do. Reposted from @conscious_muscle Some may read this and assume I’m passing judgment on them for eating meat. That is not at all what I’m saying, that would be their conscience. I’m not passing judgment with this statement, I’m stating a truth, #MeatIsMurder.

Friday @novemberprojectmsp Big Horn workout up and down the hill for 30 minutes with 1 minute meditations interspersed and a finale of burpees to Katy Perry's firework. @smileformesarah86 programed it and gave suggested meditation topics. #npmsp_continues Last time I was on this hill it was winter and my grandkids were sliding down it. . So much to be grateful for, yet so much to do. . @vegetaryn has all the awesome shirts like this one. . #np_continues #veganlife #vegan #whatvegansdo #veganfitness #fitness (at Farquar Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCOvWDEJB6F/?igshid=ghoa41fjinda

Changing is harder than you think and you find yourself shockingly defensive.

It's a start. Hold your government accountable... vote Reposted from @hennepincounty In today’s historic vote, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners declared racism a public health crisis. Due to racism, Black, Indigenous and People of Color in Hennepin County statistically have poorer educational outcomes, earn less, and are less likely to own homes or have access to quality health care and jobs than white people. These disparities have lifelong impacts, including higher disease rates, and, as we’re seeing now, higher rates of COVID-19. Declaring racism a public health crisis will lift up our work of developing strategies that mitigate personal bias and prejudice in our community, create systems that build equity, and reach our vision of a future where all residents are healthy and successful and all communities thrive. Hennepin County is not the first to declare racism as a public health crisis, and we will not be the last. There is a worldwide movement for equity. This is a call for more action and more justice. - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CCKFHvHpLp7/?igshid=eiw9sha1dtg2

Friday with @novemberprojectmsp virtually dancing and jumping and running and pushups. Dance Party programmed by myself and my accountability team. Pictured, my signature move. Around a year ago I figured out I enjoy group workouts. I really miss the group, even miss them on those cold winter mornings. #npmsp_continues #np_continues . #veganlife #vegan #whatvegansdo #veganfitness #fitness (at Rosemount, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB834YvJpZD/?igshid=72qbfn3yj1th
