Lib­er­a­tion!

9–11th June 2017

bristolliberationgathering.wordpress.com

A gath­er­ing aimed at rebuild­ing and pro­gress­ing the ani­mal lib­er­a­tion move­ment. It will be com­ing from an anar­chist per­spec­tive and will be espe­cial­ly look­ing at ani­mal exploita­tion as a result of cap­i­tal­ism and domes­ti­ca­tion and how best to chal­lenge it in this con­text.

We would like to avoid get­ting dis­tract­ed with dis­cus­sions around the pros and cons of reformism, veg­an out­reach or oth­er lib­er­al, ani­mal rights con­cerns. While we think it is use­ful for these con­ver­sa­tions to take place we want this week­end to be about com­ing up with an action plan, between us, to move things for­ward.

If this is some­thing you are inter­est­ed in being part of we would love to hear from you. We are real­ly hop­ing that this gath­er­ing will be a col­lec­tive project and if any­one wants to be part of organ­is­ing before­hand or dur­ing the week­end that would be amaz­ing.

We are keen for the gath­er­ing not to be pure­ly the­o­ret­i­cal and want def­i­nite plans to come out of it. We hope for there to be a mix of prac­ti­cal, the­o­ret­i­cal and strate­gic work­shops and dis­cus­sions, all of which will be as par­tic­i­pa­to­ry as pos­si­ble. If you have a work­shop or dis­cus­sion that you would like to see hap­pen or that you can offer, let us know.

We look for­ward to hear­ing from you
