At the rally for Muni this past Tuesday, the Transit Justice organizer announced that burritos were available for whoever wanted one, and I asked, "Are any vegan?"
She said, "No, and I'm a vegan but didn't order any vegan. Are you a vegan?"
I told her I was and just sent a follow-up message.
I know you probably felt that you shouldn't order vegan burritos for others since most people are not vegans, but I keep thinking when I provide vegan snacks or meals that I'm doing it not for myself but for animal welfare and the environment, so ordering vegan could be considered a civic act rather than a selfish one!
What do you think?
I'm not sure that "civic act" was the best phrase. Maybe this is civil disobedience!
