Our Hen House show

Summary: <a href="http://www.ourhenhouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/PicMonkey-Collage1.jpg"></a><br> Welcome to the 285th episode of Our Hen House, a place to find our way to change the world for animals.<br> Today’s episode marks a whole new world for the podcast, since it’s the first time that Jasmin and Mariann have handed over their hosting powers to somebody else — that’s me, <a href="http://chickpeasandchange.wordpress.com/">Alessandra Seiter</a>, OHH’s Media Coordinator! I’m thrilled to welcome three powerhouse activists who are working at the intersections of animal liberation, feminism, anti-racism, and every other awesome movement that we need to support in order to transform our society into one that is truly just for all beings.<br> I’ll speak with queer activist and prison abolitionist <a href="https://hanalow.wordpress.com/">Hana Low</a> of the <a href="http://coavp.org/">Colorado Anti-Violence Program</a>; the <a href="https://aphko.wordpress.com/about/black-feminist-blogger-web-series/">Black Feminist Blogger</a> herself <a href="https://aphko.wordpress.com/">Aph Ko</a>; and Jacqueline Morr, founder and editor of the feminist vegan zine <a href="http://cargocollective.com/projectintersect/">Project Intersect</a>.<br> Finally, joining me to introduce our interviewees is my fellow vegan activist, classmate, and good friend Kaden Maguire, who works at both <a href="https://casanctuary.org/">Catskill Animal Sanctuary</a> and <a href="http://www.treelinecheese.com/">Treeline Cheese</a>.<br> You can listen to the OHH podcast directly on our website (beneath this paragraph!) or you can listen and subscribe on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/our-hen-house/id350069146" target="_blank">iTunes</a> or <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/jasmin-singer/our-hen-house" target="_blank">Stitcher</a>!
