Original Post including photos Thank you from the organisers of the very first March to Close All Slaughterhouses in Canberra, Vegan ACT and Animal Liberation ACT, Lara Drew & Michelle Isobel<3 We were blown away by the response from the Canberra vegan community with over 100 participants.

People’s Climate March, Stalls and Picnic – Sunday, 29 November 2015

Written by Jyoti Thanks to everyone who came and joined us to speak up for the animals and environment today, and to encourage people to make the connection. Good conversations and educating. We still have a long way to go. 6,000 or so people attended, most of whom are not vegan YET. Our task is to help people connect the dots. As one placard says: “Animal agriculture is the leading cause of global warming, water usage, ocean dead zonnes, deforestations, specieis extinction, suffering and death”. If we truly want to make a change, then what we put into our mouths …

ALACT Demonstration Against Kangaroo Cull – Friday, 19 June 2015

On Friday, 19 June 2015, Animal Liberation ACT held a demonstration outside the Pinnacle Nature Reserve to raise awareness about the ‘ghost population’ of joeys killed as a consequence of the government’s kangaroo culls. Each year the government obtains a licence to kill thousands of kangaroos, but does not take responsibility for the hundreds of joeys orphaned by the cull and left to die a slow death of starvation without access to their mothers’ milk. The event included ‘glow in the dark’ kangaroos as a symbol of the ghost population of joeys killed due to the cull.  This ‘ghost population’ of young animals is …

Vegan Presence at Palm Sunday Rally For Refugees – 29 March 2015

Written by Jyoti Dambiec We had three great hand-painted banners, plus two big collaged people, and placards to stand and march in solidarity with refugees. Feedback has told us that it sends a really powerful message out to the public about Vegans ‘Caring’ when we are at things like this and organisers assure us that we are more than welcome at such events. It’s completely appropriate for people to attend events such as this as part of a group, in our case as Vegans in Solidarity with Refugees. RAC (Refugee Action Committee) actually encourages this as they feel it demonstrates the …

A Vegan Presence at the Candlelight Vigil for Victim of Offshore Detention – Saturday, 22 February 2014

Written by Jyoti, Animal ACTivism Collective Liaison On Saturday 22 February a small group of us took vegan banners and attended the Refugee Action Committee’s vigil in Garema Place for Reza Berati, the Iranian refugee who was killed at Manus Island.  You can read more about Reza Berati here. Our presence at the vigil received intrigue and interest from the public. One lady came up to us and said that she didn’t know vegans were political and was so happy to see ‘us’ (vegans) there at the rally supporting refugees and being involved in social justice issues. Another person who chatted with us said a …
