First book focusing on EA and Farmed Animals: The Farm Animal Movement: Effective Altruism, Venture Philanthropy, and the Fight to End Factory Farming in America

Thank you so much to Lizka for encouraging me in this post.

I'm so excited to share my book that will be of great interest to EA folks was just released by Lantern. The Farm Animal Movement: Effective Altruism, Venture Philanthropy, and the Fight to End Factory Farming in America tells the stories of this exhilarating moment in our movement in a way that I hope will inspire millennials to dedicate their careers and resources to EA and to helping end farm animal suffering. The chapters are: 

1. Introduction: Ending the World’s Worst Suffering
2. Numbers Don’t Lie: Effective Altruism and Venture Philanthropy
3. Political Power: Family Farmers Versus Big Meat
4. Vegans Making Laws: From California to Capitol Hill
5. Building a Movement: Mercy for Animals and Emotional Intelligence
6. Betrayal of Trust: Inside the Humane Society’s #MeToo Scandal
7. “We are hurting so much”: Racism and ‘Color-blindness’
8. Animal Law and Legal Education: Pathbreakers and Millennials
9. Dreamers: The Good Food Institute and Clean Meat

The target audience is people who are EA- or animal-aligned (students, career-changers, donors, volunteers) but who haven't yet found their niche. Hopefully it will be helpful for EAs as a recruitment tool. It's the first book to focus exclusively on EA and farm animals, so I hope it makes a difference!

I feel like the movement needed a book that would be useful for laypeople, advocates and scholars. The book has a popular, engaging writing style with academic methods and footnotes. I am thrilled at how the book turned out with the insight and help from the team at Lantern. All credit goes to them for the beautiful cover design.

I am so proud to be a member of this movement and grateful to all who participated in this project (EA Forum commenters, you know who you are :) ). Thank you for the opportunity to post on this Forum.
