Marley Daviduk is the founder of the local, grassroots organization, Vancouver Animal Defence League. VADL’s main focus is on long-term sustained campaigns against animal exploitative businesses, as well as petitioning for governmental change, and providing outreach to the public.

Dylan Powell on Building Coalitions

We chat with Dylan Powell about building coalitions with other social justice movements, to share skills and strengthen the total fight for justice. Dylan Powell is the co-founder of Marineland Animal Defence, a grassroots group in Niagara falls, which stands up against the unjust captivity and mistreatment of animals at Marineland Aquapark. He is also heavily involved in solidarity and coalition organizing amongst other social justice movements, and has an online blog where he discusses many of these, and other, issues.
