**Event description provided by Busboys and Poets:**
Join us to discuss personal essays on the intersections of the prison-industrial complex, industrial animal agriculture, and capitalism.
Editor Zane McNeill’s VEGAN ENTANGLEMENTS: Dismantling Racial and Carceral Capitalism invites over 15 activists, scholars, and journalists to grapple with some of the most topical issues facing the animal protection movement, specifically its historical dependence on the prison- and immigration- industrial complexes and the carceral logics that inform and normalize the violence of incarceration and deportation. The contributors to this collection not only dissect and interrogate this relationship between the animal welfare movement and carcerality, surveillance, white supremacy, and capitalism, but offer concrete tactics for activists, non-profits, and other stakeholders to create a more equitable animal welfare movement based upon abolition and collective liberation.
**Zane McNeill** is joining on the virtual Busboys stage for a celebration event, joined in conversation by **Dr. William Horne**, **Riley Clare Valentine**, and **Vasile Stanescu**. Copies of the book will be available for purchase before and during the event, so make sure to order your copy before we’re out of stock! Your purchase of the book includes shipping anywhere in the United States via USPS.
This event is free and open to all. Our program begins at 6:00 pm, and will be followed by an audience Q&A. Please note that this event is VIRTUAL and will only be livestreamed.
