There's an illusion of stability in every system. But find the right pressure point, and the house of cards will fall. 2. We use stories and emotions. We tell stories from the animals’ perspective. Stories to move you. Stories to change the world. 3. We work to inspire activists and activism. Virtuous cycles are the …
