Vancouver's Animal Rights UnConference
This past weekend around 100 animal rights activists gathered in Vancouver for Animal Advocacy Camp – Vancouver’s animal rights unconference.It was an incredibly energizing event, with a huge amount of passion and enthusiasm in the room.
Videos of the opening and closing speakers should be available in a few weeks.
Animal Advocacy Camp is a step in the direction of a strong and powerful Canadian animal rights movement. Bringing activists together to talk, plan, learn, and share together will lead to more effective activism and greater change.
But Animal Advocacy Camp is just a step. A good one, but still just one. It needs to happen regularly, once a year. And it needs to grow – open to activists from across the country and beyond.
You can help ensure that Animal Advocacy Camp can grow to meet Canada’s needs. Your donation will help build on the success of this year’s event to make next year’s even bigger and better. Please make your donation today.
