Animal Rebellion Joins HS2
2020-09-10 08:00 - 2020-09-13 21:00
Directly following the Rebellion, we will be leaving to join HS2. We will be departing from London on 10th September and returning to London on 13th.
Why should Animal Rebellion care about HS2?
HS2 is putting profit over the lives of human and non-human animals alike. Our futures are at risk as we face the climate, ecological and animal emergencies and HS2 is only adding to the issues. No matter where you are in the UK, this project is directly harming us all.
Everyday, HS2 is tearing down irreplaceable ancient woodlands for an unnecessary train line. HS2 is, and will continue to damage the very ecosystems that provide so much to human and non-humans animals in the UK.
For over 3 years, dedicated individuals have been on the front lines, living on HS2 camps to protect the UK’s ancient woodlands, rivers, and all the wildlife who inhabit them. These forests that are being destroyed play an essential role in keeping the UK’s ecological processes functioning. We cannot survive without them. As HS2 continues to tear down these woodland areas, England’s wildlife and nature reserves are disappearing at an alarming rate. This project is also contributing over one million tonnes to CO2 emissions further contributing to climate and ecological breakdown. This project is, and will continue to destroy all that nature has spent thousands of years building while claiming the lives of many species along the way.
“Among the sites that could be directly damaged or indirectly affected are a national nature reserve, 10 county wildlife trust reserves, about 50 ancient woods, 30 river corridors, 24 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs, the highest level of protection) and hundreds of other wildlife habitats. Among the rare or scarce species at risk are the small blue butterfly, long-eared owl, stag beetle, great crested newt, purple hairstreak butterfly and Bechstein’s bat.”
Come and join Animal Rebellion at HS2 sites from September 10th to 13th as we reject the destruction of our natural world and unite for all life. We will not continue to stand by while the government allows the annihilation of all the woodlands we have left. They need to put the future of the people, the animals and the environment over profit.
What do you need to know? We will be leaving 10th September and staying until 13th. This will be a time to take a stand for our countryside and the wildlife being killed, and it will also be time to regenerate, to connect with nature, with each other and slow down after the rebellion.
We will be organizing transportation if we can get 40+ people to join so make sure to select GOING on this event if you plan on joining us and we’ll be in contact to coordinate transportation.

• The fashion industry currently produces around 10% of all humanity’s carbon emissions, more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. 𝑤𝑤𝑤.𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑚𝑎𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑡ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑓𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛.𝑜𝑟𝑔
• If the fashion industry continues on its current trajectory its emissions are predicted to increase by around 50% by 2030, despite the current levels of CO2 in our environment already exceeding what is considered a safe limit by scientists. 𝑤𝑤𝑤.𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑚𝑎𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑡ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑓𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛.𝑜𝑟𝑔
• It is one of the largest consumers of the world’s water supply, pollutes the oceans with chemicals and micro-plastics and poses a serious threat to biodiversity through land use and habitat loss. According to the latest Living Planet Index the earth has already witnessed a 60% decline in biodiversity in the last 40 years. 𝑤𝑤𝑤.𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑑𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒.𝑜𝑟𝑔/𝑝𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑠/𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔-𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑡-𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡-2018
Humanity simply cannot afford to continue down this destructive path. The fashion industry urgently needs to clean up its act. Currently the cost of staying “on trend” is having disastrous implications for our planet, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

In order to meet this demand 100 billion pieces of clothing are produced every year to keep fashion cheap is resulting in millions of garment workers suffering under modern slavery. https://cleanclothes.org/fashions-problems/waste-and-pollution

𝐖𝐎𝐍’𝐓 𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐈𝐍𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄

G20 countries imported $127 billion fashion garments identified as at-risk products of modern slavery. (2018) https://www.globalslaveryindex.org
The ILO estimates that 170 million children are engaged in child labour, with many making textiles and garments to satisfy the demand of consumers in Europe, the US and other countries. http://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/—ed_norm/—ipec/documents/publication/wcms_221513.pdf
Slavery in the fashion industry can exist at various stages of the supply chain: from harvesting and processing the raw material to assembling the garment and modelling the final product.
Workers are often forced to operate in dangerous conditions for a grossly substandard living wage.
Although ‘fast fashion’ is most commonly targeted for its heavy reliance on sweatshop labour and processes that cause ecological damage, it should be acknowledged that these practices exist across the industry from budget to luxury fashion. In fact, it is not uncommon to find workers in the same factory producing both designer garments and their high street imitations. Most luxury brands simply do not publish sufficient information about their environmental policies or provide any evidence of a commitment to ensuring that their workforce receives a living wage or safe working conditions.
We believe that fashion at all levels should take responsibility for ensuring that the supply chain is free from human, animal and planetary exploitation.

𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐁𝐔𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐓

Fashion giants have introduced more ‘eco-friendly’ textiles like organic cotton and circulose into their latest collections. However this strategy of misrepresentation, dubbed as ‘green-washing’, presents its own set of problems.
Consumers are being encouraged to believe that such garments are free from environmental exploitation and ‘guilt-free’. In reality, any clothing produced on such a mass scale can never be truly sustainable. The problems that really need addressing are overproduction and overconsumption, which are only being swept under the rug by green washing.

Defra Tweet Party
2020-09-09 11:00 - 13:00
Wednesday 9th September. 11am-1pm. (BST)
Swarm DEFRA’s twitter and FB page with comments demanding that they join Animal Rebellion protestors to talk about the future of UK farming. Scroll down to see sample comments…
HEY DEFRA, WE NEED TO TALK (OR TWEET!)
Listen up Defra. Our week of Rebellion is coming to an end. You’ve seen our demands. You’ve heard the truth and now it’s time to step up to the table. DEFRA – Your chair is empty!
The world might be mad, time might be running out but we’re not dead yet! Mark it in your diaries – 9th September at 11am-1pm we’ll be jumping online to support the rebels on the ground in London in demanding that DEFRA embrace the change and move out of the dark ages and into the future!
In London, those on the streets will be showing up at DEFRA with a medieval-inspired street party to show them that a just, sustainable plant-based food system is not only inevitable, it is the future – and to ask them to take a seat, step out of the past and say hello to a 21st Century Food System.
But the rebellion doesn’t end there. At home, all around the world, we will show DEFRA that our voices will be heard no matter where we are with an online swarm demanding action! DEFRA needs to sit down and talk about the future of UK farming and we won’t take no for an answer.
Let’s come together to end this Rebellion not just with a bang but with a promise that we’re not going anywhere! We are the Rebellion and we have something to say. DEFRA, get ready to listen.
For updates on this action and all others during the Rebellion, join the Rebellion broadcast telegram chat!
SAMPLE COMMENTS
Concerned citizens are out the front of DEFRA headquarters in London right now asking why you won’t talk about the environmental consequences of Animal Farming and Fishing. Why won’t you talk to them?
DEFRA is continuing to ignore the scientific evidence that farming animals is one of the leading causes of the climate and ecological emergency. Why won’t they address the fact that leading bodies have said that transitioning to a just, sustainable plant-based food system is the only way to prevent future crises including pandemics?
Industrial animal farming ‘has caused most new viruses and risks further pandemics’
A plant-based diet can fight climate change – UN
Why does DEFRA continue to support animal farming when it’s been proven that Industrial animal farming ‘has caused most new viruses and risks further pandemics?’ We need our government to be helping farmers transition to more sustainable options while keeping their land instead of watching them go out of business and be replaced by more and more industralised farms.
There are protestors at DEFRA right now asking them to have a conversation about the future of UK farming given that animal farming has been identified as a risk factor for everything from pandemics to the climate crisis. Why is DEFRA refusing to talk to them? Why are they ignoring scientists’ warnings that our current food system is not sustainable?

UK Government- Tell The Truth: Animal Ag Causes Pandemics
2020-09-08 09:30 - 11:00 | Downing Street, Downing Street, London, United Kingdom
UK Government – TELL THE TRUTH
ANIMAL AGRICULTURE CAUSES
PANDEMICS
ANIMAL EXPLOITATION
CAUSED COVID-19
We demand a transition to a plant-
based food system to stop future
zoonotic pandemics.
We will be delivering an Open Letter to the UK Government, signed by scientists, NGOS, animal rights organisations and environmentalists, to demand that the UK Government urgently address the cause of the
Covid-19 pandemic ~which lies squarely at the feet of animal agriculture and exploitation.
Covid-19, is a ‘zoonotic disease’ which jumped the species barrier from animals to humans – likely in a Chinese wet markets where stressed animals kept in cages are slaughtered on site.
But the next pandemic could easily originate in an intensive factory unit anywhere in the world, where disease and dangerous pathogens spread easily amongst stressed, ill & overcrowded animals – the perfect conditions for disease prorogation.
The Government must heed this stark warning ~the next global pandemic is on our doorsteps, and on people’s plates.
We are urging governments around the world to join together to take integrated action to prevent future zoonotic pandemics by ending animal agriculture, factory farming and moving to a safe and prospering plant-based food system.
Join us to deliver this letter to the UK
Government at this pivotal time in global history.
We want to make events and actions as accessible as possible. whether it’s your first time attending the rebellion and you need some support or have any questions/requirements in regards to physical or social accessibility please contact us at: inclusion@animalrebellion.org
