Animal Rebellion

Animal Rebellion's 2021 Goals - Learnings from the 2020 Strategy Consultation
2021-01-27 19:00 - 20:30 (Europe/London) | Online
In December 2020, after a year rocked by both disaster and triumph, the Animal Rebellion UK strategy team sat down to take stock of what had happened and what was to come. From those conversations developed the 2020 UK strategy consultation which sought to understand what direction Animal Rebellion was moving in and where what our areas of focus would be for 2021. From conversations with over 20 teams, we pulled out key themes and areas of concern, excitement and development which we are now thrilled to be able to present to the whole organisation. In this workshop we will look at the outputs from the consultation, including some of the key areas of priority and growth that we see as critical for the year to come. Come along to join the conversation, ask questions and see how you and your team can get involved.
All welcome!

Legal Training: Know Your Rights & Witnessing Police Behaviour
2021-01-23 12:00 - 15:15 | Online
This training, facilitated by legal experts, will give you in-depth training of the legality of direct action, and give you everything you need to know to take direct action, for the planet and for the animals.
It will be split into two parts:
PART ONE – Know Your Rights (12:00pm – 2:00pm)
What are your legal rights? What are the police allowed to do? What happens when you get arrested?
BREAK (2:00pm – 2:15pm)
PART TWO – Witnessing Police Behaviour (2:15pm – 3:15pm)
NB: By coming to this training, it does NOT mean that you are a legal observer; you will be someone who has some very useful skills when witnessing forms of policing.
When at an action, the police also generally turn up. In this training, you will learn how to effectively monitor the following:
– Arrests
– Stop and Searches
We recognise that the police often (and generally do) use their powers in a discriminatory manner to target Black people, POC, LGBTQ+ and disabled people (to name a few), due to institutional racism, sexism, transphobia and ableism within the police force. By the end of this training, you will be able to monitor the police’s actions, whilst also trying to safeguard the person being subjected to the police behaviour.
This training is essential for all those looking to attend future actions.

Kieran, a member of Animal Rebellion’s Press team, will provide a summary of our breadth of features across mainstream and independent media outlets, whilst pointing to examples of how action design and media strategy can lead to effective and extensive coverage in the press.

People's Assembly
2021-01-19 19:00 - 20:30, 2021-01-12 19:00 - 20:30 | Online
People’s Assemblies are a way for a group of people to discuss issues or make decisions collectively, where all voices are heard and valued equally and no one person or group are able to dominate the process.
People’s Assemblies play a vital role in our decision making process, and even more so during the rebellion where we will need to hold impromptu assemblies depending on the situations we encounter.

Stream of Solidarity: Jamie Arbib Interview and Q&A
2021-01-15 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
Jamie Arbib is the co-Founder of RethinkX, a not-for-profit think tank that analyses the non-linear nature of technology disruption across the economy and its broad implications across society. Its aim is to inspire a global conversation about the threats and opportunities of technology-driven disruption and to focus attention on choices that can help lead to a more equitable, healthy, resilient, and stable society.
According to their research, we are on the cusp of the deepest, fastest, most consequential disruption in food and agricultural production since the first domestication of plants and animals ten thousand years ago.
In this interview, we will delve into these fascinating predictions and their implications on the animal farming industry, the wider economy and society as a whole.
This discussion will be live streamed via Facebook Live and Zoom. Hope to see you there!

2021 Plant-Based Schools Campaign
2021-01-14 18:30 - 20:00 | Online
New year, new food system? It’s time to change.
Join us in our 2021 campaign: Plant-Based Schools and Councils!
We’re kickstarting a nationwide effort to create a fairer and more sustainable food system for the planet, for animals and for our future.
About This Event
Come along to find out how to get involved as we demand that local councils stop serving animal products in their schools and council events to combat the climate crisis.
70% of local councils have declared a climate emergency; none have acted. We demand they prioritise the future of their residents and serve only plant-based food in schools and at council events.
With your help, we can achieve huge goals for animals, people, and the planet. We will support you to bring this campaign to your area. Together we will make positive change across the nation!
Sign up for our talk today to find out how you can be part of this incredible journey.

Intro to Strategic Messaging
2021-01-13 18:00 - 19:00 | Online
In a world with loads of competing narratives, messaging is everywhere. Social change organisations, corporations, the media and many other institutions use strategic messaging by considering
things like context and framing in order to win people over. By formulating our words and the sentences we use, our messaging will travel further, hit harder and ultimately win the hearts and
minds of the people – shifting the public narrative for a better world, and a brighter future.

DNA Culture
2021-01-11 18:00 - 20:00 | Online
Culture underpins how we relate to one another both within our movement and wider society. Come explore how we can build an inclusive, resilient and empowering culture together at Animal Rebellion.
