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.

Roger Hallam - Insulate Britain strategy and recruitment
2021-09-14 19:00 (Europe/London)
Due to high interest, this is a second Insulate Britain session for Animal Rebels.
Sep 14, 2021 07:00 PM London
Register in advance for this meeting:
https://us06web.zoom.us/…/tZMpc…
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
Roger Hallam is a Welsh organic vegetable farmer, vegan of 30+ years, a co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, cooperative federation organisation Radical Routes and the political party Burning Pink.
He also played an important role in 2019 formation of Animal Rebellion in 2019.
On the 20th June 4PM he is coming to Animal Rebellion (online) to mobilise for a strategic action in September 2021.
About the event:
“Smart strategy involves looking at the whole system and picking on the opponent’s weakness point – not continuing to go through the motions. Insulating the housing in the UK is the most non brainer move to reduce carbon emissions per unit of investment. It also creates thousands of jobs and significantly prevents needless deaths from fuel poverty. It’s therefore the bread and butter issue which gets the attention of ordinary working people – the people Johnson is so keen to keep on his side. It puts us in the ball park of creating a win on forcing concrete legislation to actually reduce emissions now. It has the potential then to regalvanise the global movement to engage in nonviolent material resistance – and that’s the most effective way to stop the holocaust of animal life on the planet in the short time we have left.”
(Roger Hallam)
About insulate Britain:
Insulate Britain is a campaign supported by people in numerous networks which will shortly be making concrete demands of the UK government to insulate the housing stock of the country, as an essential immediate step in dealing with the climate and ecological emergency. If the government does not act upon its responsibility to act then the campaign will organise acts of high level civil disobedience.
The campaign is organising fortnightly open cultural and political events to encourage a deeper understanding of the long tradition of civil resistance so we can be inspired by the great movements of the past. Chris Hedges (bio here) will speak about this prophetic tradition drawing upon his first hand experience as a journalist of uprisings and revolutions during the latter part of the last century. He will then take questions and people will hear about the upcoming campaign and have time to discuss getting involved in break out groups.

2021 Plant-Based Schools Campaign
2021-09-13 19:00 - 20:30 (Europe/London) | zoom
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.
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.
We’ve just got our first win with Hackney Council committing to 1 vegetarian day across 100+ schools and approx. 30,000 students starting September, for a total of 1.1 million meals per year changed. The campaign is developing strongly across the UK with nearly 40 groups running it across the country. That’s 10% of the UK’s councils in just 4 months of running this campaign, so we’re doing pretty well!
Sign up for our talk today to find out how you can be part of this incredible journey: https://actionnetwork.org/…/plant-based-councils…/

Oppression, movement building and our relationships as activists
2021-09-10 19:00 - 22:00 (Europe/London) | zoom
Oppression, movement building and our relationships as activists.
Note: We’ve experienced large numbers of people registering for this workshop and not turning up.
This prevents others from registering and attending because the workshop is sold out.
So we ask you to only book if you can attend and cancel your ticket in good time if you find you can’t make it.
—–
We are members of XR looking at how movements can be divided when oppression goes unaddressed, offering practical tools to heal these divisions which affect our relationships as activists.
This workshop will address the importance of understanding the structural nature of oppressions (such as racism, sexism, classism, ableism, the oppression of young people, …), as well as doing personal healing work – both of which are necessary if we are to work together effectively in a united movement.
Please arrive from 15 minutes before the start time for a prompt start.
When you register a Zoom link will be sent in your order confirmation email. Please check your junk mail folder in case your email ends up in there.
Practicalities
This workshop is interactive so it’s useful if each participant can join the call on a separate device.
Because we will be breaking out into smaller groups for timed ‘listening exchanges’ it will be very helpful if you can bring a timer to the workshop, e.g. you can use the timer app on a mobile phone (use a spare mobile if you are using your mobile for the Zoom call).
When you’re in the Zoom meeting it is useful to choose “Gallery View” so that you can see everyone’s lovely faces (this doesn’t work on mobile phones).

The Animal Rebellion
2021-08-23 - 2021-09-04
THIS IS THE ANIMAL REBELLION!
From the 23rd August, Animal Rebellion will occupy, unite and rebel in central London to take action against the climate and animal emergency.
Like our previous rebellions, we will use our voices to demand that our government ACT NOW and TELL THE TRUTH, but this time we must be louder than ever before.
We know the consequences of animal agriculture.
We know the severity of biodiversity loss and climate breakdown.
And we know the lengths the government will go to silence us.
Now we must act.
Time is rapidly running out to mitigate the crises we face. We, the people, must reclaim our power and fight for our futures. We are facing the impossible, but we know there is hope.
A future in which animals are given dignity and the planet is put first IS possible, but this will not occur without action. We need YOU to add your voice to the rebellion and push for a new world. Together we can make change. Together, with love, solidarity, and unity, we WILL build a better and just system.
Pledge to join us this August and stand strong against the system that allows for animal exploitation, social division, and climate denial.
We must ACT NOW. It’s time to Rebel for ALL Life

#DisruptG7
2021-06-08 12:00 - 2021-06-14 10:00 (Europe/London) | Cornwall, United Kingdom
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.

About the book
Five Essays for Freedom: A political primer for animal advocates
Animal liberationist and emerging avant-garde theorist, Kristy Alger, provides a scathing, provocative exposé of the animal industrial complex in Five Essays for Freedom. Contextualised in current-day Australia, this essay collection is a political primer for the animal advocate, both curious and experienced alike.
Alger writes that an understanding of the politics of animal exploitation is critical for the realisation of animal liberation. For if animal advocates do not understand the politics of animal exploitation they cannot hope to disrupt the webs of corporations and government that guarantee its continuation, to the detriment of other animals, humankind and the Earth.
Alger asserts that the animal rights movement must extend its scope beyond the promotion of apolitical vegan consumerism as a means to create that accessibility, for the realisation of justice. In doing so, animal advocates can begin pulling at the intersecting threads of the animal industrial complex, progressing towards a future where they themselves are freed from the web alongside the other animals they seek to advocate for.
This collection of essays is just the beginning in a new revolution that extends beyond veganism and challenges the very notion of what it means to be an animal advocate and a human being.
First session: May 29 6-8pm UK Time

"What Else Do Rebels Do?"
2021-05-21 19:00 - 20:00 (Europe/London) | Online
Come along and hear what a couple of rebels have been up to during lockdown…
Jane will be presenting a talk about the Humane Being campaign to Scrap Factory Farming by taking the UK government to court. With the help of Michael Mansfield QC they have just issued a ‘last chance’ warning prior to launching a case that will hold the UK Government to account for the threat posed, and destruction to the planet caused, by factory farming.
Mark will talk about his non-profit organisation Grainwaves. Two years in the planning and with a couple of test/trial runs, this organisation will help any business in transitioning to a plant-based and/or vegan business.
There will be time for a Q & A and information about how you can help these succeed will be available.
The event will be hosted by Billie Savage of Animal Rebellion Netherlands

You are invited to a Zoom meeting.
