    February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In

    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

    MAC1 Abstracts – Oral Presentations

    Oral Presentation Abstracts OP001 Rights, Interests and Moral Standing: a critical examination of dialogue between Regan and Frey. Rebekah Humphreys Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom This paper aims to assess R. G. Frey’s analysis of Leonard Nelson’s argument (that links interests to rights). Frey argues that claims that animals have rights or interests have not been established. Frey’s contentions that animals have not been shown to have rights nor interests will be discussed in turn, but the main focus will be on Frey’s claim that animals have not been shown to have interests. One way Frey analyses this latter claim is by considering H. J. McCloskey’s denial of the claim and Tom Regan’s criticism of this denial. While Frey’s position on animal interests does not depend on McCloskey’s views, he believes that a consideration of McCloskey’s views will reveal that Nelson’s argument (linking interests to rights) has not been established as sound. My discussion (of Frey’s scrutiny of Nelson’s argument) will centre only on the dialogue between Regan and Frey in respect of McCloskey’s argument. OP002 Can Special Relations Ground the Privileged Moral Status of Humans Over Animals? Robert Jones California State University, Chico, United States Much contemporary philosophical work regarding the moral considerability of nonhuman animals involves the search for some set of characteristics or properties that nonhuman animals possess sufficient for their robust membership in the sphere of things morally considerable. The most common strategy has been to identify some set of properties intrinsic to the animals themselves.

    The Scope of the Argument from Species Overlap

    bs_bs_banner Journal of Applied Philosophy,Vol.31, No. 2, 2014 doi: 10.1111/japp.12051 The Scope of the Argument from Species Overlap OSCAR HORTA ABSTRACT The argument from species overlap has been widely used in the literature on animal ethics and speciesism. However, there has been much confusion regarding what the argument proves and what it does not prove, and regarding the views it challenges.This article intends to clarify these confusions, and to show that the name most often used for this argument (‘the argument from marginal cases’) reflects and reinforces these misunderstandings.The article claims that the argument questions not only those defences of anthropocentrism that appeal to capacities believed to be typically human, but also those that appeal to special relations between humans. This means the scope of the argument is far wider than has been thought thus far. Finally, the article claims that, even if the argument cannot prove by itself that we should not disregard the interests of nonhuman animals, it provides us with strong reasons to do so, since the argument does prove that no defence of anthropocentrism appealing to non-definitional and testable criteria succeeds. 1. Introduction The argument from species overlap, which has also been called — misleadingly, I will argue — the argument from marginal cases, points out that the criteria that are com- monly used to deprive nonhuman animals of moral consideration fail to draw a line between human beings and other sentient animals, since there are also humans who fail to satisfy them.1 This argument has been widely used in the literature on animal ethics for two purposes.

    The Power of Peaceful Activism | Vegfund Blog

    4/19/13 The Power of Peaceful Activism | VegFund Blog The Power of Peaceful Activism Posted on March 14, 2013 Corey Lee Wrenn, VegFund’s Spring 2013 intern, discusses the history of peaceful activism and why it’s effective. Nonviolence in social movement activism has a long and successful history and works for one very important reason: it attracts people. The more people who are attracted to the movement, the more resources a HOM E movement can gather, and the more successful that movement will be. ABOUT US Nonviolent activism has been central to most social movements. In a survey of over three hundred social movements in the 20th century, Chenoweth and Stephan (2011) found that nonviolent movements were likely to succeed because they increased participation and movement resources. They also tend to lead to PROGRAM S lasting success when a movement accomplishes its goals. VOLUNTEER & INTERN Nonviolent means were hugely popular with most anti-slavery advocates and were important for laying the groundwork for emancipation. Advocates swamped the U.S. mail with abolitionist literature, flooded CONTACT US Congress with petitions, assisted runaways, even boycotted slave-made products such as cotton and sugar. These tactics were low-risk and made participation easy and inviting for all. Without these methods, utilized WHY VEG? for decades before the Civil War, the abolition of slavery would not have even registered in public sentiment, much less the Union agenda. BLOG The Civil Rights movement of the twentieth century also successfully utilized nonviolent protest to raise – 2013 awareness and elicit public sympathy. Marches, sit-ins, and Freedom Riders who rode buses into + March (5) segregated states all utilized peaceful means to convey moral issues in a non-threatening way.
