jones has been an activist for social change since the 1970s.
[7]
[3] She stopped eating meat when she was 15, the same year that she came out as a
lesbian . She later became
vegan , as she felt cows and hens were being sexually exploited for their milk and eggs.
[3]
In the year 2000, jones and her partner Miriam Jones founded Eastern Shore Sanctuary in rural
Maryland .
[4]
[3] The sanctuary was relocated to Vermont in 2009, and later renamed to VINE ("Veganism Is the Next Evolution") Sanctuary.

[5]
Around 2002–2003, jones was attributed to be the main organizer
[8] of the Global Hunger Alliance (GHA), an international network of several activist organizations that was coordinated in preparation for the
2002 World Food Summit .
[9] The GHA networked with 90 other "supportive" organizations from around the world,
[10] including
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ,
Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and
Uncaged Campaigns .
[11]
In 2012, jones became involved in a battle over the lives of Bill and Lou, two
oxen at
Green Mountain College in
Poultney, Vermont . After one of the oxen, Lou, became injured, the school decided to slaughter both and serve them as food in the dining hall.
[12] Students and animal rights advocates protested, and jones offered the oxen a home at VINE Sanctuary. The college ultimately euthanized Lou. The
controversy made national headlines.
[13] Jones wrote about the events in her book, The Oxen at the Intersection.
[3]
[4]
jones writes and lectures about animal rights from an
intersectional approach,
[7] connecting
speciesism with
racism ,
sexism ,
homophobia , and
transphobia .
