Some ideas deserve to be heard again.
For this edition of The Listening Lounge, we’re reaching into the archives of Vegan Nation with Marlene Narrow for a conversation that sits at the intersection of veganism, abolition, law, and political change.
Shelley “Shel” Harrison has spent years discussing the case for legal recognition of other animals and the work behind the Abolition Amendment. In this special Vegan Nation broadcast, Marlene Narrow brings together selections from Shel’s previous interviews exploring Abolition Day, the Abolition Amendment, and the larger movement toward ending the legal status of animals as property.
Rather than retell the conversation, we’ll let the voices speak for themselves.
Listen to the December 9, 2025 special:
Vegan Nation — Abolition with Shelley Harrison
The same archive includes additional conversations with Shel spanning nearly a decade, offering listeners a chance to hear how these ideas have been discussed, developed, and carried forward over time.
Turn it up. Revisit the conversation. Keep listening.
