Rod Coronado
Born on July 3, 1966, in San Jose, California, Rodney Adam Coronado built a public profile as both an animal rights activist and an environmental activist in the United States.
Coronado's work centered on advocacy across two overlapping domains: the rights of animals and the protection of the natural environment. A citizen of the United States, he pursued these concerns through activist channels, engaging with causes that placed him at the intersection of environmental and animal rights movements. The available record does not specify the precise organizations he joined or the campaigns he led, but his identification as an advocate in both areas points to a sustained commitment to each.
His dual role as an animal rights advocate and an environmentalist situated him within a broader tradition of American activism concerned with the treatment of animals and the state of the natural world. Coronado remains identified in the public record primarily through these two areas of advocacy, which together define the scope of his public work as documented.
Quotes by Rod Coronado
What I’m continuing to do is cutting out the equation that wastes the most amount of time – and that is working within the system.
You’re damn right when you say I’ve shown people how to make a firebomb, I’ve done my time for my crimes, and I should be able to talk about them.
Don’t ask me how to burn down a building. As me how to grow watermelons or how to explain nature to a child. that is what I want to grow old doing. Please afford me this.
The only way we can guarantee our continued survival on earth is to recognise the importance of other non human life forms and stop pretending we’re on top of some pyramid of domination over other beings.
Every time a police agency pepper-sprays or uses pain-compliance holds against our people, their cars should burn.
When you’re a 20-something grassroots activist, and you’re deciding how to spend your time and money to make a difference, it makes a lot of sense to cause a million in damage with just $100 of investment. That’s a better return than any other form of activism I’ve been involved in.
