This Is Why I'm a Vegan Activist

This conversation took place in front of Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. Special thanks to @angelinafortheanimals for her powerful introduction to this video.

I am traveling across the United States indefinitely, doing as much activism as I can.

Some people get it. Some people actually get it.

“You’re good at your job Benny.” You sure are!

[missinglink_eth]

Benny, you and Ed are the two people I tell folks to watch when they want to know how to be an effective activist. Never stop what you are doing. We need more people like you.

[TinyWorlds]

He listened well and asked great question :) And you talked well. He's right, you ARE good at your job. Thank you for making a change!

My dad went vegan after watching Cowspiracy and What The Health...Never in a million years did I think he would. He said he feels better physically now than he ever has!

[tweddelltrumpet]

Wow, this is like the type of receptiveness that every activist hope to encounter some day. This was great!

[FieldOfFireflies]

I really needed to see a positive interaction like this. You're an incredible animal rights activist, Benny! You're one of my inspirations and I aspire to be able to advocate as well as you someday! Thank you for your hard work! 💚🌱💚🌱

My god man. Your thoughts at 7:31, with the Johnny Cash version of Hurt playing on one of the nearby speakers, lit by the bright electronic glow of screens and lights, with the activist in the foreground, people lazily wandering here and fro, but you, just locked in with that guy, laying down a hope for tomorrow. Holy shit, that was transcendent. Also respect to your camera person for setting up the shot and allowing this moment to be shared by all of us.

I love how you use Socratic dialogue. You sound like a teacher. I'm pretty impressed with your method.

[syggyballs]

It's great then someone can just be honest. No excuses from this guy. Great stuff Benny.

Wow. That was cool watch somebody become a new level of intelligent.

[loveHaightlove]

Ugh. I can't tell you how badly I needed to see this today. Faith in humanity restored. Thank you. 🙏🏻🌱❤️

[emmagorowski]

I love watching these. So inspiring. Love that you also brought up the workers' issues, it's so important not be seen as hateful towards these people.

[KerstinMamma]

That "Benny voice" really does it for some people, great job man.

[stillavegan]

I really love your work man. You are so good.

It's conversations like these that reassure me that I'm doing the right thing and motivate me to keep going. Go Benny!!
