“The kids get it immediately.” – Monica Chen

In this episode, we learn from a teacher and farmed animal advocate, how she reaches people where they are, without shame, and with the acknowledgment that the task is large but that we each can and indeed should, use our unique passions and strengths toward creating a more compassionate world. She makes a great case, replete with tangible, actionable suggestions.
