Veganism – From Your Plates to the Streets!

Non-violent Direct Action Activism & Organizing for Social Justice

2.5 hours

This workshop will give animal allies the theory and tools to expand vegetarianism & veganism from a consumer activity into effective action for animals. Through two video lectures we will examine the importance of non-violent direct action, community building, and strategic campaigning.

We will offer extensive examples of direct action tactics and information on how to organize your own direct action, including how to do a media release.
