My purpose in this life is to be a voice for animals. đ
Several years ago, when I really started making the connections between what I was taught and what animals were experiencing, I knew I couldnât stay silent.
I dove into in-person activismâbut I also made a decision:
I was going to use my social media platforms FOR THE ANIMALS.
To speak up. To expose what is hidden. To challenge the way people think. To help others make those same connections and begin aligning their actions with their morals.
When I started, I had a small following of around 2K.
Today, this community has grown to more than 42,000 people across my platformsâincluding almost 12.4K here on Instagram and around 26K on Facebookâwith my TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube continuing to grow.
And Iâm proud of that growthânot because of the numbers themselves, but because every person reached is another opportunity to create awareness for animals.đ
Social media is activism. âđź
And I know there are vegans and activists out there who WANT to speak up more, but maybe you donât know what to post. You struggle with consistency. Youâre nervous about putting yourself out there. Or youâre sharing your message but want to learn how to reach more people.
I want to help you.
Iâm looking for 3 vegans/activists who want to make a bigger impact for animals through social media.
Iâll help guide you as you:
đ Find your voice and speak up with confidence đ Create intentional content that actually has a purpose đ Become more consistent with your activism đ Grow your platforms and reach more people đ Build a social media presence that keeps the animals at the center
You donât need a huge following to make an impact.
You just need to start using the platform you already have.
If youâre ready to do that, comment or DM me âSOCIALâ and weâll book a call to talk about where you are, where you want to go, and how I can help you get there.
Only 3 spots. Letâs use social media to make some noise for the animals. âđź . . Follow me everywhere at jessfortheanimals . . #animalrights#animalrightsactivism#vegan
đ If activism has ever left you carrying grief, anger or despair long after the action was over, you donât have to carry it alone. Comment SQUAD if you want guidance and a community of activists who understand this part of the work, too.
The vigil ended Thursday.
But emotionally? Iâm still processing it.
Iâve been trying to decompress. Iâve needed quiet. Movement. Walks. Hugs from my partner. Time with animals. Conversations with activist friends who understand why this hurts so fucking much.
Because going home doesnât erase what you witnessed.
I will never forget that mother cow lying on the floor of that truck. I wonât forget watching her struggle. I wonât forget the others on that truck, either.
And maybe Iâm not supposed to.
Because self-care after activism isnât about forgetting. It isnât about becoming okay with what you witnessed.
Itâs about acknowledging the grief, sadness, anger and despair that can follow us home â because carrying those emotions without caring for ourselves can make it harder to continue doing the work that matters so deeply to us.
I donât want to become numb. I donât WANT to stop caring.
I want to take this despair and turn it into determination.
I said something to another activist at the vigil Thursday that I meant with every part of me:
âThis is why I will fight until the day I f*cking die.â
For her. For every animal on that truck. For every animal we couldnât save that day. And for every animal who still needs us to show up tomorrow.
Self-care doesnât make me care less.
It helps me keep going. đ
This concludes my Who Takes Care of the Activist? series â BEFORE, DURING & AFTER.
And if this series has made you realize that you need people around you who understand what carrying this work feels like, thatâs exactly why community matters.

I dont care who I piss off, who doesnât like me, who wants to troll me, mock me, etc.
If youâre going to continue perpetuating & supporting systems of violence and exploitation against innocent beings, Iâm gonna keep speaking out, period.
But there ARE a few things I seem to be deficient in as a VeganâŚ
Hypocrisy. Cognitive dissonance. Speciesism. Willful ignorance. Apathy. A human superiority complex. And silence.
Because for me, Veganism was never about being perfect.
It was about recognizing that Animals are individuals whose lives belong to THEM â and they deserve to live free from human exploitation, suffering, and unnecessary harm.
Their right to their own lives shouldnât depend on whether we love them, find them cute, relate to them, or see value in what they can provide for us.
They have value simply because they are someone, not something.
Once I knew what was happening to Animals, I couldnât unknow it.
I couldnât keep participating simply because exploitation was normalized, convenient, traditional, or socially accepted.
And I definitely couldnât stay silent.
Animals donât need us to quietly disagree with what is happening to them.
They need us to speak up.
Being Vegan isnât where my advocacy ends.
Itâs where it begins.
And if youâre Vegan but youâve been wanting to do MOREâyet youâre unsure where to start, what to say, or how to find your voiceâthatâs exactly why I created Vegan Squad Activism. đ
A community for Vegans ready to turn their compassion into ACTION, with resources, guidance, live Q&As, support, and a whole squad standing beside you.

And for those of you who are addicted to the breastmilk of a mother cow⌠cheese, yogurt, sour cream, and so on and so forthâŚ. Itâs time to analyze what the hell youâre supporting day in and day out.
You are NOT A BABY COW/CALF.
Your body has NO reason to consume the breastmilk of another species. Not sure how in this day and age people just donât get it.
Wowww đ¤Śđťââď¸đ¤Ż
âLook at what's been spray-painted across this little dairy calf's back. All because she struggles to feed from the automatic feeder, and takes time to bottle feed.
She should be suckling from her mother!
If this disgusts you, good. Your empathy is intact.
Let's be really honest here. If you're a kind human or an animal lover, you should not be financially supporting the dairy industry. đ¤˘
Ironically this was posted in a Facebook group called "Farming Mums NZ" with dozens of laughing reactions. Youâd think that a group of mums might understand why this is so messed up.âđ
For years, Iâve shown up for animals in so many different waysâprotests, vigils, outreach, disruptions, sharing their stories online, standing outside slaughterhousesâŚand simply refusing to stay silent.
And somewhere along the way, I realized something:
Finding your voice is powerful. But finding your PEOPLE changes everything.
Because activism can be beautiful and empoweringâbut it can also be incredibly heavy.
Sometimes you need guidance. Sometimes you need encouragement. Sometimes you need someone to say, âI understand. I feel it too.â
And sometimes you just need a community that reminds you why you started. đ
Thatâs why I created VEGAN SQUAD ACTIVISM. âđź
A community for vegans and activists who want to:
đŁď¸ Find their voice â¤ď¸âđĽ Build their confidence âđź Take meaningful action for animals đ¤ Connect with people who GET IT
Inside, weâll have resources, activism guidance, live Q&As, discussions, support, encouragementâand most importantly, each other.
Whether youâve been an activist for years or youâre sitting there thinking, âI care so much, but I have NO idea where to startâŚâ
There is a place for you here.
You donât have to be the loudest person in the room. You donât have to know everything. You donât have to be fearless.
You just have to care enough to take that first step.

Who wouldâve know when I was a kid that this would be my life?? â¤ď¸
I am beyond grateful to have been given this open heart & mind.
To have the ability to see beyond what we have all been taught.
To realize that we arenât the only ones who matter on this planet.
To witness injustice and take action.
To be a leader instead of a follower.
To use my voice for others that are ignored.
