The two days event has a cost of 335 KR (around 50 EUR) and it includes breakfast lunch and diner for both of the days. Organisers have made clear that those who cannot afford it can reach out to organise without the ticket price, so nobody is left behind.
The National Animal Rights March is back to London another year to demand justice for animals, to gather with likeminded individuals and to plt, plan and scheme new ways to fuck with speciesism.
Join thousands of other people during this national march, wich speeches from folks like Lynn Sawyer, Roger Yates and Lousie Ryan.
As always,we’d advice folks to mask up, to watch out for cop behaviour and to keep each other safe
From the 9th to the 11th of August, BiteBack NL is running an animal liberation gathering in the anarchist camping “Tot vrijheidsbezinning” in Appelscha, Netherlands.
Multiple workshops have already been anounced, from History of the ALF to creative activist, history of SHAC and many more.
The event can be booked in BiteBack’s website, and prices range between 15 and 75 EUR. They also have let us know that no one will be turned around for lack of funds, so hit them up if y simply can’t afford the cost!
“We call all animal liberation activists and anarchists to come to the Earth First! Gathering in Shrewsbury next week, to mingle, plot against the industries that destroy the earth and harm animals and to learn from one another. We are aware it is at the same time as VCO and to that we say fuck that capitalist enterprise!
Earth First! Gathering is a five day event where everybody is crew (that means if you see a job, you have a job!), pay-as-you-feel priced and with an anti capitalist, eco anarchist ethos. You bring your own tent, you get fed vegan food by Veggies kitchen (it is their 40th anniversary, isn’t that cool!?) and you learn shit from people who do shit, or teach shit if you fancy, or plot your next actions, or relax and have a breather after continuously organising for the year!
We want to see more animal liberation folk involved (because the gathering is what we make it!) so lets meet and organise! EF!UK has uploaded a few of the workshop descriptions to their website already and a few are looking awesome, from How to care for a rescue fox hound to discussions on violence, there is. Lot to talk about! See you next week in EF!
WHAT: Eco-Anarchist gathering WHEN: 25th – 29th July WHERE: Crabbapple Co-op, Shropshire UK MORE INFO:https://www.earthfirst.uk/

“CALL TO ANIMAL LIBERATION FOLK TO POPULATE THE EARTH FIRST GATHERING 2024!
Hey folks!
We are a group of people wanting to see more animal lib related workshops and peeps at the Earth First! Gathering this year. EF! Gathering has been running for 30 years and the amount of animal lib influence shifts constantly. We would love to see more people who give a fuck about animals in the gathering, and organising talks, and mingling and plotting and teaching and learning!
The event is a five day gathering, every year at a different location, where eco-anarchists meet to socialise, to share new ideas and to plan and organise. It holds an everybody-is-crew ethos and folk pay as much or as little as they can afford towards the organising of the event. Nobody gets turned around for lack of funds, and food is included, you just need to make sure you bring a tent and comfy sleeping stuff!
Because we would like to see more animal lib stuff, we’ve been organising talks. If you think you’d like to give a rad talk about animal lib stuff (it could be history, it could be an open discussion, or strategy, or a new campaign, or a hands on workshop to learn how to do something!) please reach out to us. You can drop us an email at
EFUK_animallib(AT)proton(dot)me
It conveniently is at the same time as Vegan Camp Out so if you hate the capitalist ethos of that festival as much as we do, join us to be part of something, come and plot with us, let’s organise the next campaign! Get your lab group together, or your local animal rights group, and see you at EF! Gathering at the end of the month!
Camping tot Vrijheidsbezinning The Gathering will take place at the Camping “Tot vrijheidsbezinning” in Appelscha. Purchased by anarchists in 1933, it has since become a landmark among activists where multiple events are held every year.
The campsite is also situated directly next to the Drents-Friese Wold nature reserve. You can step into the forest right from the campsite. An ideal place to unwind from the recent period of activism and get motivated for what’s to come. Will we see you there?
Want to share your own knowledge too? Do you have a workshop or a lecture you’d like to give, or something else interesting that fits within the program? For example, a performance for the evening program, an activity for children, or would you like to set up a booth on behalf of your organization?
About the gathering The gathering is an initiative from Bite Back Netherlands, but intended as a meeting for and by the movement.
A weekend to learn from each other, to get acquainted, and to relax. A weekend where we get motivated and can make our campaigns and actions even more effective. So that we can reach our goal even faster!
Folks are organising the yearly National Animal Rights March in London and are aiming for huge numbers. Back in 2019, 12 thousand people took to the streets in the name of animal rights, let’s see if that number can be beaten!
Groups will be coming together, from hunt saboteurs to anti vivisectionists to outreach groups. Hear all about what other folks are working on and upcoming events. This is a great opportunity to network and spread the word about any campaign or public actions you have planned. Go with mates, your local AR group, or on your own.
There’ll be plenty of speakers, stalls, and an awful lot of banners. Dust off the megaphone, make some noise and take over London. *Friendly reminder that police will be information gathering at this event, so take steps to keep yourself and others safe. Be smart, don’t talk to cops!
WHAT: Eco anarchist gathering, workshops and meet up.
WHEN: 25-29TH JULY 2024

What is Earth First?

From the event website:
“Fighting for animal liberation can feel lonely and pointless. As there will never be a means to and end to these violent industries. Collectively, however, we can bring about meaningful change and connect on our struggle to see it through.
The animal liberation movement nowadays seems to be comprised by a lot of separate groups and individuals working to accomplish similar goals. By organising this event we hope to bring these groups and individuals together and create a wider and more connected movement.”
The Animal Liberation Summit in Amsterdam promises to be an interesting event of solidarity and practice, where you can meet like-minded activists, brainstorm within groups and create a more cohesive animal liberation movement.
So far a number of workshops have been announced, including how to talk to journalists, how to plan direct action, digital security, two separate talks by Christopher Sebastian, a puppet show on security culture and much more. The full programme can be found on their website:
The event is pay-as-you-feel and the suggested donation for those who can afford it is 5-10 EUR. This does not include meals, which must be paid for separately, with a suggested donation of 8 EUR to cover coffee, lunch and dinner.
