Intro

  • Fortuitous to be in Seattle at this time, with so much going on with the formation of Justice for Animals Outreach and everything going on surrounding that
  • I started including Seattle on my activism stops in 2017, tabling and leafleting with NARN and Rachel
  • Since I’ve been welcomed and feel integrated with the AR community here.
  • I started Justiceforanimals.org in 2016
  • Isaac has copyedited virtually everything on the site; Chime in
  • This month, after months of prep, I converted the site to a wiki to make if more collaborative, more encyclopedic, and easier to edit.
  • I'm in the process of getting incorporated, getting non-profit status, and recruiting writers.

Motivations for Starting

  • All called on whether activists or not
  • I looked for online help in responding to objections
  • What I found was good, but lacking

Just one good place I could go to that was

    • credibly sources
    • well organized
    • non-hyperbolic and without exaggerations
    • also a place to send the veg-curious and those beginning

Later

  • More collaborative
  • More immediate editing
  • Encyclopedic

First, a very brief tour of the site

  • After that, I'll go over some of the goals and show you how they are realized on the site.
  • go over all listing
    • Beginner - I'll be changing this to work better with the card
    • In reply to:
    • Summaries: chicken—each section is over 6,000 words, but each section is a short summary
    • Tables:
      • can be included
      • slaughter counts
    • Notes: not enough to be an article
    • Archive: to save (Regan's speech

Goals for the Site

Overal Mission In order:

  • Useful for Advocacy
  • Helpful to Beginners or Curious
  • Helpful for Living Vegan as we grow

Goals, Wish List

  • Aesthetically pleasing
    • Wiki's are bad, just look at Wikipedia
    • Judge for yourself
  • Mobile and Tablet Friendly
    • Resize browser window, it's called responsive design
  • credible sources
    • facts in perspective
    • when I give a fact I want to know the source...
    • so much misinformation
    • example chickens
  • useful for advocacy
      • answer objections
      • talking points
      • chicken / Wikipedia
      • notes on advocacy (bees)
    • provide help to beginners
      • Beginner Listing but also in Replies and other areas
    • from an AR POV, not welfare
      • clear throughout the site
  • structured
    • TOC - lends itself to skimming
    • Details and Extra Collapsed
  • Tone: informal academic
    • friendly, no hyperbole, not judgemental, not pedantic
  • POV
    • not for opinion pieces now
    • not for hit pieces
    • We have adopted an objective point of view, similar to Wikipedia's neutral point of view, as explained below. An exception is that we are not neutral in our belief that it is morally wrong to unnecessarily harm animals.
