Animal Rebellion

Witnessing Police Behaviour Training
2021-04-24 17:30 - 18:45 (Europe/London) | Online
This training will teach you valuable skills, in witnessing arrests and police behaviour. It will empower you to take responsibility for the safety of other rebels around you at a protest, and particularly focusses on the greater risk faced by marginalised rebels.
This is NOT legal observer training, and witnessing arrests is not a role, but a skill.
This is a remote training hosted on zoom.

This Land is Our Land
2021-04-24 | Online
On 24th April 2021 every citizen of the UK is invited to mark the Kinder Scout trespass wherever and however they can. Together we will remember our radical roots and reclaim our most fundamental rights: to walk, to wander, to live.
And soon, when covid allows, we will gather together for a monumental & inspirational Mass Trespass, the likes of which our Kinder Scout ancestors would be proud…
✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽 ✊🏾 ✊🏻
In 1932, five men were jailed for their role in organising the Kinder Scout trespass of April 24th. Their crime? Walking on a hill where they were not supposed to.
This April 24th we will commemorate their actions with a trespass of our own, reconnecting with each other and exploring how the land beneath our feet affects every part of our lives.
In defiance of unjust, oppressive laws, the Kinder Scout trespass grew from the actions of 500 working men and women to a protest movement of over 10,000 people in just three weeks. These early pioneers sacrificed and fought for our right to roam these beautiful Isles. Their aims are still just as relevant.
Today, taxpayers give £3bn a year to landowners and yet…
🚧🚧🚧
…we are denied access to 92% of the land in England.
Much of that land is being criminally misused:
– Moors and peatland burned for the sake of grouse shooting
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
– Deforestation for manicured estates and golf courses
🌳🪓🌳🪚🌳🪓🌳🪚🌳🪓🌳🪚
– and Extraction which destroys natural landscapes to name a few.
⛏🗾⛏🏭⛏🗾⛏🏭⛏🗾⛏🏭
During a climate and ecological emergency, against a backdrop of increasing inequality and division, this is a conversation that cannot wait.
🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧

Oppression, movement building and our relationships as activists
2021-04-21 19:00 - 22:00 | Online
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).
Accessibility
* This workshop is in English. We are looking to train people who can facilitate in other languages.
* We do not have sign language interpretation but you’re welcome to bring your own – please can you let us know by email ahead of time so we can help them prepare before the workshop (ombraworkshop@gmail.com).
* If you have any accessibility needs please contact us on ombraworkshop@gmail.com to tell us about them and we will try to accommodate you

In 2018 XR launched with a bang with a message of urgency. Now, 3 years later, is it time to reconsider our use of emergency messaging as a movement?

Witnessing Police Behaviour Training
2021-03-27 17:30 - 18:30
“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.”

“A training aimed at encouraging safe protest and informing rebels of their rights.
Teaching rebels how to engage with the police, acknowledging the disproportionate policing of marginalised groups and the role of white, able bodied privilege.
Aiming to create a safer protest environment by empowering all UK rebels with the knowledge to understand the widespread discrimination within policing, their legal rights and to be aware of how to limit risk to themselves and others.
REBEL SAFE!”

Jake Conroy aka The Cranky Vegan. Interview and Q&A
2021-03-19 19:00 - 20:30 | Online
“15 years ago a group of activists known as the SHAC 7 were found guilty of using their website to incite attacks on those who did business with Huntingdon Life Sciences, one of the biggest animal testing labs of its kind.
In response to a grassroots campaign against injustice, the FBI and US government threw their full weight into branding these young people as terrorists and getting them put away.
The documentary The Animal People tells the story of the SHAC campaign, allowing us to learn from history when developing our own strategies. Last month as part of our ongoing Animal Rebellion Arts Space we sat down and watched this documentary and now we’re going to have the chance to discuss it as a whole organisation!
Come along to hear from Jake Conroy, one of the SHAC 7 and long-time animal and climate justice activist. We’ll be asking Jake some questions about the strategies and tactics used by SHAC in the US as well as opening it up to questions from the audience so come prepared.
If you haven’t seen the film The Animal People – it is a documentary about SHAC 7. March 10th is its last day on Netflix.”

DNA Strategy
2021-03-18 17:00 - 19:00 | Online
This online workshop is all about our core purpose as a movement, what our goals are and what tools we use to get there.
Learn about the pillars of support, why we aim our actions towards the Government, how we shift hearts and minds of the public and the key principles of Civil Disobedience. There is an opportunity to explore these concepts together and discuss our 2020 strategy.

Negotiation Training for Activists
2021-03-15 18:00 - 20:00 | Online
If you don’t ask, you won’t get. Asking, demanding, protesting, lobbying for something, or for someone to do something, is a negotiation. It might just be ‘if you do this, then we’ll stop hassling you.’ Knowing how to negotiate is key to successful campaigning.
This session will cover the key frameworks to make you a better negotiator, campaigner and help you get what you want and animals and the planet need.

Spokespeople Training: Speech Writing

The event is open to any level of public speaking/ speech writing/ spokespeople experience.

2021-03-11 18:00 - 20:00 | Online
“Non-violent Direct Action is what Animal Rebellion is all about. In this two-hour long, interactive training you will learn how to design an effective action. We will go through the basic principles of great non-violent direct actions. You will have space to discuss good and bad action design examples and will be designing your own actions during group exercises.
Every part of Animal Rebellion needs to become a laboratory for disobedience and action design. If every person in every local group puts their mind to designing actions, imagine the possibilities!
We encourage rebels to attend an NVDA and DNA workshop by Animal Rebellion before joining this training. Please also note that this is an interactive session which will require active participation from those joining.
