ANIMAL REBELLION - we plan to turn the ENTIRE world vegan, starting with UK

Post Body

this is a repost from r/vegan added info

We, ANIMAL REBELLION, are a new decentralised volunteer organisation and we are planning to bring together over 10k of volunteers and activists in a major action in London, UK (in solidarity with Extinction Rebellion) to stop animal agriculture and fishing in the UK and other countries.

This is a one of a kind opportunity for us vegans to work together with environmentalists (overcoming any differences) to strongly challenge the current food production system based on animal abuse and destruction of nature. We are focusing on the system change (end meat/fish subsidies, slash agricultural impact on climate change, stop oceans depletion), but we expect this to start massive personal change as well, due to media focus attracting exponential growth of vegan population (as a result of education, myths busting etc.).

WHAT? We will go out on the streets and exercise our human right to a peaceful protest and civil disobedience (think Suffragettes, civil rights, Gandhi). We will demand the system change and we will educate people about veganism in the process.

HOW? By joining forces with about 20 animal rights organisations and also influencers and celebrities and in solidarity with Extinction Rebellion - a successful environmental movement that attracted a lot of attention to the issue of climate crisis and obliteration of biodiversity. It is acknowledged that fighting climate change and reverting biodiversity loss is impossible without changing agricultural system on the land and fishing practices on the sea.

WHERE? Initially in London, UK, but other countries have also expressed interest in aligning their actions!

WHY? Because animals!

WHEN? 07 October will be the start of our two weeks of protest.

If you would like to help, but outside of UK, then consider the following activities:

1. Create your local Animal Rebellion group, using the same self-organising processes we've learnt from XR and following the 10 Principles as outlined on our website: http://www.animalrebellion.org/values/

2. Contact our group coordinator, Tim Speers on [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) for support, training and documentation. Tim will work with you and add you to the private discussion group for all Animal Rebellion local/national group coordinators. Please put "NEW GROUP" into the subject of your email to Tim.

3. Find your local XR group through social media and express solidarity and interest in working together. At the UK national level, Animal Rebellion and Extinction Rebellion are in talks to develop plans on how we best work together around actions, media and achieving our common goals. We hope to see this replicated across the globe.

4. Plan a local action for October 7th and/or for the two following weeks.

5. Spread the word! Follow us across all the social media channels.

6. Contact your local and national media and help reach out to others. Please contact our media team on [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) if you need any support with this.

7. And stay in touch!

P.S. see if you can spot familiar faces on this photo, taken during our talks with Animal Rights organisations in London :)
