Join us Saturday: Healing Polarization on Climate Change
Please join me in an online conversation this coming Saturday that I believe is important to the health of our culture and to our movement to raise awareness about the many benefits of liberating animals from human exploitation.
That is why I am honored to join Dr. Sailesh Rao, founder of Climate Healers, on The Vegan Community online platform in a rare and heartfelt dialogue: “Healing Polarization on Climate Change: Considerations for Effective Vegan Advocacy.” The online event will be facilitated by noted vegan psychologist Clare Mann.
Over the past 45 years of traversing the vegan path, I have come to see that our deepest challenges in effective advocacy and healthy living are not so much external, but internal. We wrestle with unspoken assumptions and indoctrinated beliefs we take to be our own. These tensions and delusions can cause division in our relationships and in our movement for greater love and respect for all.
One of the most sensitive fissures in our community today is over the role of human behavior in climate change. When thoughtful vegans hold differing views about this, it can lead to confusion and fragmentation. But I believe we can use these divergences not as barriers, but as gateways to deeper understanding and compassion, and improved collective alignment.
Here are the details:
Saturday, October 4, 2:00 p.m., Pacific, 5:00 p.m., Eastern, and Sunday, October 5, 7:00 a.m., Brisbane (Australia)

Some possible benefits of attending this free event –
- Explore differing perspectives on climate within our movement with curiosity, not judgment.
- Strengthen your capacity to hold truth and love together—for ourselves, in community, and outwardly in advocacy.
- Walk away with renewed clarity about how to align our inner commitments with our outer actions
Please join us with curiosity and questions, and also consider sharing this invitation with any friend or colleague who senses the urgency of healing the divisions in our world.
That’s it for now. Thanks for your many efforts on behalf of a more conscious world! –
Best, Dr. Will Tuttle
