Have you ever felt furious or terrified at the unfolding of the climate and ecological crises but didn’t know what you could do? Are you disgusted by the injustice of the animal agriculture industry but feel like individual consumer choices are not enough? Maybe you have heard of Animal Rebellion and are wondering what all the fuss is about? Or perhaps you know what’s up but are wondering how to get involved?
If any of the above applies to you, why not come along to our Welcome to Animal Rebellion talk? This is where we will break it all down for you.
We will discuss who we are and what our strategy to achieve change is. Most importantly, we will show you how you have the power to make a difference, wherever you are and whatever you have to offer.
Together we will win the future we need!

Plant Based Schools & Councils Campaign: Introduction Talk
2022-01-11 19:00 - 20:30 UTC
It’s time to change our food system to fight the climate crisis.
Kick start 2022 by getting involved in our Plant-Based Schools and Councils campaign!
We’re continuing our nationwide effort to create a fairer and more sustainable food system for the planet, for animals and for our future.

Momentum has been building with a number of wins under our belt, so let’s keep the pressure up! 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.

Its so important to stay connected to each other within the movement, have fun, support one another, and regenerate.
We have BIG PLANS to improve our community connection at Animal Rebellion and we need your input!

We want to know what YOU want from your community spaces. What will they look like? How are they created? Are they online or in person?

Book Club: Hegemony How-To - Session 2
2021-11-06 17:00 - 18:30 UTC | zoom
Register in advance for this meeting:
animalrebellion.org/bookclub
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
You are encouraged to read the materials prior to the session but this is not a requisite to join. The more important thing is turning up and join the conversation. Prior to each session you will receive an email with a short list of key points from the reading to allow everyone to engage with discussions.
In this session we will discuss following chapters:
-THE PREFIGURATIVE AND THE POLITICAL
-ASPIRING HEGEMONIC
-BEYOND THE LOW PLATEAU
If cost of the book is a barrier for you, please get in touch with us at bookclub@animalrebellion.org
About the book:
Hegemony How-To is a practical guide to political struggle for a generation that is deeply ambivalent about questions of power, leadership, and strategy. Hopeful about the potential of today’s burgeoning movements, long-time grassroots organizer Jonathan Smucker nonetheless pulls no punches when confronting their internal dysfunction. Drawing from personal experience, he provides deep theoretical insight into the all-too-familiar radical tendency toward self-defeating insularity and paralyzing purism. At the same time, he offers tools to bridge the divide between anti-authoritarian values and hegemonic strategies, tools that might just help today’s movements to navigate their obstacles—and change the world.
