Another case of an agent forgetting they're an agent, not an activist or an enforcer of their beliefs on others, hard pass.

Disclaimer
Always verify agent's information before sending your query, and review the agent's website(s) for more up-to-date information.
Though we do our best, QueryTracker can not guarantee the accuracy of any information provided.
An agent listing on QueryTracker is not an endorsement or recommendation of that agent by QueryTracker.
Before contacting an agent, authors should verify and assess the agent's requirements and suitability by visiting the agent's website(s), and becoming familiar with ways to spot and avoid bad agents. A good place to start is Writers Beware, a watch group that helps inform and protect authors from shady practices.
She won awards for helping advance marginalized creators and hopes to help the BIPOC community. That sounds great to me as a biracial author.
She doesn't want to see animal cruelty in books. That's a huge win for most of us and especially for me as an animal rights activist with such themes in my work
She also doesn't like genocide or Netanyahu and doesn't want to work with those who support colonialism or land theft. I am totally for that.and as a human being I am stunned anyone supports what's going on in the M.E
And she has an absolute right to like certain books and topics and dislike other topics. As an agent she absolutely can be an activist just as an author can be an activist and try to sensitize readers to things like racism, environmentalism, colonialism, genocide, issues with capitalism, animal rights and feminism.
Art has always been used to promote change. This is now a surprise? Some of the best books in history are the 'best' because they dealt with such things. If anything, I would like to see more books with subtext/ themes on deeper issues. Although, once and a while I do enjoy a simple, great yarn.
Nobody is "enforcing their beliefs on anyone".
