Quote

When we're not maintaining our mental health, we can't sustainably function as a changemaker in the world.

My way of advocating and being an activist is to amplify other people's impact. And it doesn't matter if they're activists yet or if they don't consider themselves activists. If you're vegan, you're an activist at heart, I know that somewhere your heart beats for that change.

—Jun Fuchs
