From Subway to Social Justice: Claire Howe's Journey to Veganism
Claire Howe's journey into veganism began unexpectedly during a lunch break at Subway, where she confronted the origins of her meal and its ethical implications. This pivotal moment ignited her passion for animal rights and social justice, propelling her from vegetarianism to veganism within three months. Claire's personal transformation not only influenced her dietary choices but also sparked a deeper commitment to advocating for the voiceless.
Advocacy Through Education: The Birth of the Raven Corps
Determined to make a tangible difference, Claire pursued a legal education to advocate for farmed animals. Her journey led her to internships at Mercy for Animals and the Humane Society of the United States, where she realized the crucial role of education in driving systemic change. Recognizing the need for inclusive curriculums, Claire pivoted towards empowering youth through the Raven Corps.
Originally founded as Youth for the Voiceless, the Raven Corps evolved into a collective liberation organization, addressing not only animal rights but also environmental sustainability and social justice issues. Claire's grassroots work with local high school animal rights clubs in Portland laid the foundation for this transformative movement. Through workshops, campaigns, and community engagement, the Raven Corps empowers young activists to advocate for a compassionate and sustainable future.
