Thanks to VegNews Magazine‘s website for featuring Our Hen House in their article, “Social Media How-To.”

from VegNews.com

According to VegNews,

When done right, YouTube videos and podcasts can garner devout followers. They also need a bit more technological savvy, so Our Hen House co-founder Jasmin Singer recommends attending One to One sessions at a Mac store, where you can learn all about the tools needed to produce great content. When creating a podcast or video, it’s especially important to keep tone in mind. As Singer says, “being overly didactic is a no-no. Find your niche […] and plan on devoting many hours per week producing each episode.” That’s quite a bit of time, but as the popularity of the Our Hen House podcast proves, it’s time well-spent.

Do you make videos or write music? (See Etsy’s Vegan Etsy Team and Etsy For Animals. Or visit sites such as Our Hen House’s ‘Art of the Animal’ section for news about creative endeavors for the animals.) Maybe you are an up and coming vegan chef? Or maybe you enjoy speaking, coaching, or teaching? Dedicate time in 2011 to using your gifts for the animals! They need YOU! Reach out to others who do what you do and create a supportive network.

Thanks to Planet Green for their feature on Our Hen House and Jasmin Singer.

www.planetgreen.discovery.com

According to Planet Green,

“Jasmin Singer is the executive director and co-founder of Our Hen House, a central clearinghouse for all kinds of ideas and opportunities to create change for animals. “With a daily blog, weekly podcast, and video page, we identify possibilities, report on successful activists and enterprises, and brainstorm ideas ranging from the brilliant (if we do say so ourselves) to the farfetched,” she explains. Singer founded Our Hen House in January 2010 with her partner, Mariann Sullivan, a lawyer “heavily involved” with animal law. Prior to starting Our Hen House, Singer was the campaigns manager for Farm Sanctuary and still serves an a consultant for them. You may also be familiar with Jasmin through the writing she does for VegNews. ”When I’m not doing all of that,” she adds, ‘I am a performer. I live in NYC with Mariann and our precious pit bull, Rose, who is perfection.’”

Thanks to VegNews for their web feature about Our Hen House’s series, Art of the Animal.

vegnews.com

According to VegNews:

“Recently, animal activist media group Our Hen House released a web series titled Art of the Animals profiling vegan artists and activists who are creating thought-provoking, cruelty-free art. The first installment features visual artist Jonathan Horowitz’s “Go Vegan” exhibit currently showing in a former New York City slaughterhouse. The second installment documents the work of compassionate musician Joy Askew, who will be playing an acoustic set today with Chrissie Hynde at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. Our Hen House Executive Director and VN contributing writer Jasmin Singer founded the non-profit to bring exposure to cruelty-free artistic expression, an issue that is close to her heart.”

Keep reading.

Thanks to Latin American magazine, Trece:Veinte, for the amazing feature on Jasmin and Our Hen House.

According to Trece:Veinte,

Activism Bursting Through the Skin

Jasmin Singer is cofounder of Our Hen House, a group that collects, organizes and distributes information about how indviduals can help protect animals. A podcast, a blog and a website of videos form part of this effort. In an exclusive for Trece:Veinte (Thirteen:Twenty), Jasmin introduced us to the world of vegetarianism and activism in defense of living creatures. It could be said that she was born to be an activist, to raise her voice for life and respect of all living things.

Through this group, Jasmin fights to create change. The dedication she displays with activism began several years ago after participating in the movement to fight against AIDS. But her altruism has no limitations when it comes to humans and animals, as she is also an environmental activist.

Jasmin is vegan, beginning as a vegetarian after she became repulsed by meat. She used to consider veganism as radical, but a friend taught her about farm life and working farms, which she considered to be “radical” too.

“In a perfect world, being vegan would be a given. Eating meat would seem so absurd, akin to cannibalism.”

Approximately 50 billion animals are killed and converted into food that we eat daily. In the U.S., 10 billion animals are consumed each year. The sheer numbers horrify her and inspire her to continue with her work.

“When I visualized the horror that occurs behind closed doors in the farms, I realized that I could not support it, nor overlook it.”

What caught my attention most when speaking with Jasmin, which is more incredible than it seems, is that animal activism is based on something very simple: at least three times a day you can choose to give up the cruelty on your plate.

It is about consuming a vegan diet. Factory farm workers are poorly paid and work in a dangerous environment. But factory farming cannot disappear overnight. Factory farming is one of the principal causes of global warming, and is unsustainable.

Additionally, there is not sufficient land on the planet to provide resources to all humans and animals. Singer proposes a benevolent plan for the world: a plant-based agriculture which gives the planet, animals and of course, the health of humans, a rest.

Jasmin has a lot of tattoos, the most recent one done by artist Brian Wilson of scapegoattattoo.com in Portland, Oregon. Scapegoat is part of a vegan supermarket. Some tattoos found on her arm serve to accentuate, with a tribute to her pitbull named Rose, and on her side a chicken that has just escaped from her pen. “She’s free!” Jasmin told us excitedly.

She also has one that reads “267,” in relation to the number of chickens murdered EACH SECOND in the U.S. But since she got the tattoo, the statistic has risen to 286 per second. Chickens are her favorite animals for being valiant, social and friendly. Their grace seems amazing to her.

“When I look at my wrist, I have perspective. The enormous violence that occurs makes me remember not to become wrapped up in trivial problems. There are a lot more things at stake.” On her leg she has a cow tattooed that was called Valentine who she met in a farm animal sanctuary. That is her favorite tattoo.”

Jasmin likes to have her skin decorated because it matches her personality. She confessed that she’s addicted to it, and if she were a millionaire, she would have so many tattoos that there would be no more space on her body. Despite that, she’s lately been saying “that’s enough.” When I asked her why, she responded that before having them, she asked someone else who had them all over their body the same question, and met with the response that it was more fun to have color on your skin.

“I am creative and I love the idea of being…. decorated. The most important thing: it’s encouraging to have the cause for which you fight written all over you.” On her ankle, she has recorded the Sanskrit word, Ahimsa, that signifies “nonviolence.”

The ironic thing about vegans with tattoos is that the tattoos themselves aren’t. Normally, they are made with a pigment base that gives color, but surprisingly, are made from animals. Black pigment, also called “black bone,” is made with burned animal bones which have converted into ash [carbon].

In some instances, glycerine is made with animal fat and some products used for caring for tattoos, like Vitamin A and D creams, contain lanolin derived from sheep, and beeswax.

Fortunately, there exist vegan alternatives, like for food, for the world of tattoos and tattoo-care products, some of which are Merry Hempsters and Jason Cosmetics. ”If you do your homework (unless you want animal fat permanently part of your skin) you will look for and find many artists that get tattoos with products that don’t derive from animals.”

For the moment, Jasmin finds herself focused on Our Hen House and dreams hopefully that the world will continue accepting that factory farm cruelty is unsustainable.

Thanks to Best Friends International for covering the story of Tips, the dog we rescued in Puerto Rico and documented on film.

Thanks to the wonderful people at The Vegan Police for the feature they did on Jasmin.

According to Dylan Powell of The Vegan Police:

“I had known about Jasmin for a little while before I saw her speak last summer at the Farm Sanctuary Hoe Down in Watkins Glen, NY. Nothing really prepares you for the first in person meeting though. She took over the room immediately, I was not shocked at all to later find out she had theatre experience, and she had everyone signing the most ridiculous vegan song that she apparently sings to her brother over the phone. When I later got to meet Jasmin at the ICAS Conference at SUNY Cortland we both got to commiserate about podcasting and vegan media, as Jasmin and her partner Mariann had started a non-profit vegan/animal rights activist hub called Our Hen House. Being the posi kids we both are, we immediately started brainstorming ways to work together. A double interview was a agreed upon and I am very glad to get the chance to not only get to interview Jasmin, but also show my support for everything her and Mariann are doing with Our Hen House.“

Thanks to the lovely people at Kiss My Vegan for listing Our Hen House as one of their “reasons to smile.”

You make us smile, too!

Thanks to Zodiographer.com for featuring Our Hen House as their non-profit spotlight!

According to Zodiographer.com:

“Our Hen House has a central website and seeks to be a clearinghouse for ways persons can make changes to benefit animals.  Among several features on their site, they have videos.  Here is an interesting one where art meets vegan activism at a closed meat processing plant converted to an art exhibit gallery.

I can only imagine how the smell described in the video adds to the experience of those in the gallery at the time.

In their website, Our Hen House simultaneously addresses the animal protection movement, various forms of activism, and the need for being practical.  In my opinion, many organizations either miss the concerns about practical matters or only exclusively provide services for animals after a problem’s occurred without making progress for long-term sustainable change to prevent such problems.  By addressing these matters strategically within the animal protection movement, Our Hen House has the potential to build effective momentum within the movement.

Our Hen House was co-founded by Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan.  Its website has sections for activism through the arts, academia, the law, business, and communication.  The organization has produced an array of podcasts and has a growing like/fan base on Facebook.  With a promising start, I look forward to seeing exciting developments for animal advocacy from this nonprofit in the future.”

They already have 10 episodes, so I can’t wait to listen to the rest of them – I’m a fan!

In honor of Jasmin, I made a vegan lunch.

Thank you to Animal Blawg for the nice shout-out about Our Hen House from their blog!

According to Animal Blawg:

Mariann Sullivan and Jasmin Singer are two of the jewels in the crown of the animal advocacy movement.  Both women have labored tirelessly on behalf of the voiceless for many years and in many ways.  Now they have a new way.  Their new project is called Our Hen Houseand is much more than blog.  It is, in their words, “a central clearinghouse for all kinds of ideas on how individuals can make change for animals.”  Below is some skinny from an email blast inviting people to the site.  It is a great thing they’re doing.  But don’t take my word for it.  Go and see.  And then stay and help.
