EP68: Grassroots to Global: Lessons from GREY2K USA Worldwide

We are beyond excited to bring you a conversation that had us completely losing track of time...meet Carey Theil, Executive Director of GREY2K USA Worldwide, calling in all the way from Boston, Massachusetts, USA! Carey is co-founder of the most powerful greyhound advocacy organisation on the planet. His organisation played a key role in shutting down 46 greyhound racing tracks in the US, and 44 states declaring it illegal. He's got a TED Talk with co-founder Christine Dorchak on 25 years of activism, a PhD-level approach to policy, and interestingly, he's also a national chess master! 😉♟️ And he agrees that the most critical greyhound fight in the world right now is here in Australia. In this episode, Carey breaks down:🌍 How GREY2K USA went from a heartbreaking loss in Massachusetts to closing almost all US dog tracks over 25 years🤝 Why international collaboration between advocacy groups is the key to real, lasting change🏆 Why the end of greyhound racing is inevitable. We only have to win once!💛 And a reminder to look after yourself in advocacy work...we are playing a long game Plus we meet Jazz 🖤🤍, a gorgeous black tuxedo'd boy hoping for his furever-fam. Contact Greyhound Adoptions WA to meet this handsome fella! <a href="https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/130006⁠" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/130006⁠</a> 🫣We also forgot to do the outro... because we were so deep in this conversation we had to record it from the pub.
