For many, December is a month of holidays, family, celebration and joy. In this month, we will share another gift with our cities: compassion and justice for nonhuman animals. We will create the world we wish to see - one where all animals are safe, happy and free.
Animal rights activists in cities and countries around the world have united under the banner "It's not Food. It's Violence" since our campaign started in October 2013.
Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) is a grassroots network of animal rights activists working to create a world where every animal is safe, happy and free. Through community building, open rescue, and disruptive protest, we are building a strong movement for animals.
Join us as we take action for animals this month!
Including Placards, leafleting and possibly the DxE - UK Vegan Outreach Stall.
Speciesism is an ideology that considers the lives and interests of animals as not worthy of respect simply because they belong to another species.
Direct Action Everywhere is not only about entry and disruption, however this is the main feature as the organisation is furthering activism until all are free. DxE - UK will accommodate for all personal preferences. If you are not comfortable to enter the target of the day, you can distribute leaflets, hold a banner or man the Vegan Outreach Stall. If you would like to be included in the speech please send us your script so we can include it in the event. Please say so we can accommodate for all involved.
As DxE - UK increases, we can offer a diverse range of actions and we can only do this with your support.
