Event Description
***Location, time, and date contingent on weather and subject to change.***
**Masks are required during the event**
This is an educational outreach event, in order to best inform we must first inspire: We believe in veganism as one step of liberation praxis for all, and encourage activists to always center beyond-human persons in their outreach while also addressing intersections of oppression when necessary.
We understand that in the current climate bystanders may have reactions that may be challenging for many activists- let’s remember to call people in, not out. We are here as allies to other-than human persons, and our job is to fight for their liberation.
We believe in your grassroots and organizing power! If you have ideas, let's hear them! We're all equally important and your ideas matter. We welcome your input on movement strategy, and on how to make our activations + events more effective and overall better.
The set up: Televisions will display the images of the ongoing exploitation, slaughter, and torture of beyond-human persons across the globe.
Physical distancing in effect: A QR code and link will provide bystanders information on veganism and animal liberation. Face shields and masks will be provided, however, we encourage you to bring your own.
We will be chalking to leave behind messages of justice. Chalk provided. Signs not needed.
