We are pleased to announce that we are hosting the second Total Liberation Gathering on 26th-28th June at the Sumac Centre in Nottingham.
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.
Here’s a form to register interest, needs & offers for this year, to help create a liberating educational space.

The catering will be provided by Veggies Catering Campaign, the UK’s longest established 100% vegan campaign caterers.
HacktionLab will have their next gathering at the Sumac Centre on Friday 2nd October to Sunday 4th October, with arrivals from 5pm Thursday 1st.

Activities, facilities, meals, costs etc are posted at the Hacktionlab Autumn 2026 webpages. Are you interested in coming and getting involved, check there. Or get in touch with HacktionLab by at hl2026@hacktionlab.org or join their mailing list.
