Anonymous for the Voiceless Co-Directors Paul Bashir and Asal Alamdari Ep.7

Anonymous for the Voiceless is an animal rights organization that does a kind of street activism called the Cube of Truth. These are peaceful demonstrations akin to an art performance in which activists show footage of animal exploitation to the public and have conversations with interested passersby with the hope of guiding them to their own vegan conclusions. Today’s episode features Paul Bashir and Asal Alamdari, the co-directors of the organization.

I think it’s fair to say at this point that these demonstrations are the most popular form of organized vegan activism. The organization has chapters in over 900 cities around the globe and that number is growing very quickly.

In this conversation we talk about how the organization got started, what has caused it to grow so rapidly, the reasoning behind this specific approach to activism, and we also have a broader conversation about vegan activism in general.

It was really fascinating to talk to Paul and Asal and to hear their perspectives on all of these things. I think this is a really enlightening conversation that will leave you feeling inspired to become more active in promoting veganism, or at the very least, it will give you a greater understanding of, and appreciation for, the work that animal rights activists do.
