ONLINE PANEL: Influencing for Animals

Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2026 
Time: 7:00–8:30 PM ET
Via Zoom

In a crowded, constantly shifting digital landscape, it can feel harder than ever to break through the noise. If you care deeply about animals and want to move more people to care too, this panel is for you.

We’re bringing together five social media influencers from across the vegan and animal advocacy world. With audiences ranging from 8,000 to hundreds of thousands, these creators have found their niche in areas like food, satire, sanctuary life, myth-busting, and activism. They’ll share practical tips to help you expand your influence—whether you're posting on Instagram, talking to family, or meeting with politicians.

Our panelists:

• Lauren Toyota: hot for food & cookbook author
• Molly Elwood: satirist - Elwood’s Organic Dog Meat
• Jamie Wilson: grassroots activist - anothereffingvegan
• Colleen Walker: Little Red Barn Sanctuary
• Danny Ishay: debunker of anti-vegan nonsense

Hosted by: Animal Justice’s Kimberly Carroll

We’ll discuss:

• Different styles of animal advocacy messaging and how to find the approach that suits you.
• The impact of bringing your own personality and interests into your advocacy.
• How to balance advocacy with entertainment and create content people actually want to engage with.
• Social media trends and the ever-changing online landscape.
• The best and hardest parts of being an influencer. 
• How to handle trolls, criticism, and the pressure to keep creating
• Why you don’t need thousands of followers to change hearts and minds.

Join us to learn how to use your voice, expand your influence, and make every conversation, post, and platform count.
