We will be exploring how issues of race and class interact and influence our food systems. About this Event The first in the series, we will be examining the link between the Indian Farmers Strike and how global south resistance is connected to animal agriculture.

One of Animal Rebellion’s demands is to achieve a “just and sustainable plant-based food system” - and the many layers of oppression unfold themselves within the intersectionalities. Equally, land and food justice are vital to be understood as they connect to our indigenous heritage and spiritual cultures. Ultimately, animal agriculture is currently produced in an exploitative system that is also perpetuating racism, classism, and[…]

This year we need to stand strong and rebel against planetary destruction. We are asking the G7 to put their money where their mouth is and protect the planet, humans and other animals by defunding meat. Animals are not products and their lives are not fuel for the destruction these governments wrought on this planet which is both our home and theirs. Animals resist these industries in the same way humans do, forming alliances, disrupting destruction and continuing to survive in a world where they are increasingly unwelcome.We welcome all species and know that by building a just, sustainable plant-based food system we can build a world based on justice for all.
