Total Liberation Gathering Shedule

The event is coordinated by the Total Liberation Collective  (info on Instagram).

The aim is for animal liberationists to connect with other struggles and strengthen solidarity between movements. We want to encourage collaboration, sharing resources and creativity.

This will be an opportunity for us to reimagine how the world could be. We will embody anti-hierarchy, active participation and collective care.

Our shared vision is to be as inclusive as possible, with anti racism, anti ableism and anti-speciesism at the heart of the project.

Nottingham Animal Rights Meeting

Nottingham Animal Rights holds regular planning meetings. These meetings are for people who are involved or interested in animal rights activism.

We recognize that turning up to a meeting of complete strangers can be daunting, but the atmosphere at NottmAR meetings is always very informal, and by all means bring a couple of friends with you if it makes you feel more confident, everyone is welcome!

The planning meetings are where you can obtain support from like minded people for campaigns against all forms of animal cruelty.

There is no hierarchy, our broad scope is a consequence of a broad demographic of proactive members. Whether your interest is in countering the fur trade, factory farming, vivisection, blood sports or (most commonly) all animal cruelty, you will find campaigning opportunities as part of both local and national initiatives.

All our activities are 100% legal and non-violent, we do public protests and other direct action, we do information stalls, we do free food give-aways, we do sanctuary work, and in fact anything else we can think of!

You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter.

Some words from the Total Liberation Collective:

“✊🏿 We really want to create a space of collective responsibility and community care.

✊🏾 The upkeep and running of the space will be anti-hierarchal and anyone who wants to contribute will be able to.

✊🏽If you want to run a workshop, or can offer to take up any responsibilities at the gathering (washing up, welfare support, general maintenance of the space, providing reading materials) please message us and we’ll send you a form to fill out.

✊🏼 We’re going to have a wide variety of workshops so if in doubt, put it down and we’ll contact you separately.”

Liberation is, as liberation does.

From https://autonomousanimal.org/our-story/:

Starting something new gave us the freedom to find new ways of relating to the issues close to us.

We are all autonomous animals, this work begins with how we treat the humans that we organise with.

We choose to grow collective power through togetherness and world – making; envisioning a better future for all beings.

Please print, display and share the poster &/or tlc-fliers to promote the event.

Sí als bous film screening + Brinsley Fundraiser

Director Jusep Moreno introduces “Sí als bous” (Yes to the bulls) at a special 5.30pm film screening at Sumac Centre, before the Brinsley Animal Rescue fundraising People’s Kitchen meal.

Catalonia banned the traditional bullfight in 2010, but at the same time, the government protected other types of bullfighting, known as correbous, where the bulls are not killed in the arena. “Sí als bous” (Yes to bulls) is a new documentary about these remaining types of bullfighting, the first one ever made in defense of bulls and against correbous, putting the focus of attention on the bulls and their experiences during those events.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director.

*Content warning*
This films contains scenes of violence and animal abuse that some audiences might find distressing.

With thanks to Mammoth – the Climate Action Cinema, who are also supporting this campaigning documentary with a screening on Sunday 10th November, at 5pm.
