This is where it's at. James and Jennifer Evans are here to talk to us about elevating BIPOC voices in animal welfare and bringing in people from all walks of life. By challenging assumptions and suspending judgments, we can better stay true to honest narratives instead of getting caught up in the stories we tell ourselves about other people. Because to help animals, we need to participate in communities. Because to help animals, we need to be inclusive and that means reckoning with our privilege. Because to help animals, we need different answers, we need to get rid of barriers to adoption, we need to incentivize pet fostering - and it starts by making space for everybody. CARE is doing some big work led by these ambitious dreamers and hearing them unpack the number of animals in shelters as a social and racial gap in this country is a discussion I am most grateful for.
