My Face Is on Fire is a blog (with an associated podcast) which focuses on abolitionist vegan education, animal rights issues and the misrepresentation of veganism in pop culture or mainstream media.
"The essence of nonviolence is love. Out of love and the willingness to act selflessly, strategies, tactics, and techniques for a nonviolent struggle arise naturally. Nonviolence is not a dogma; it is a process."

Lovely quote. I am confused when people try to evoke change through violence. Change made by force is not truly a change, but a reflection of fear.
I agree. You can bully someone into doing (or not doing) something, but to effect meaningful and permanent change--of the sort where the person changes his or her actions and goes on to educate or influence others to follow suit--you really need to have that person make those changes for the right reasons. Fear isn't one of those.
