ANIMAL REBELLION Turtle Island'S CULTURE
Animal Rebellion Turtle Island has a regenerative culture. We place love, care, respect, honesty and integrity at the core of what we do. We work hard but know how to rest. We are a movement that welcomes everyone and every part of one, so that no individual is left out of acting to achieve our movement’s goal. We are inspired not only by human action but also animal resistance, and we believe in co-creating a world with individuals from all species for a just and secure future.
Because we were all born into a speciesist system not of our making, our demand and message is focused on changing the system. We don’t exist to ask individuals to go vegan, but to change the food system in its entirety. So while we welcome personal change, Animal Rebellion’s actions focus on system change and demands that call on government to tell the truth, act now, and go beyond politics on the climate and ecological emergencies we face.
We know that to achieve the change we want, we must work together with other movements, and focus on that which unites us, and not our differences. There is so much we can learn from each other as we practice solidarity across our approaches. In particular, we practice solidarity with all those exploited and marginalised groups in our human and animal societies. Our culture is one where we believe every individual, regardless of species, can be free from exploitation and be allowed to flourish in their species-specific ways.
Our Strategy
At the core of Animal Rebellion’s philosophy is nonviolent civil disobedience. We promote civil disobedience and rebellion because we think it is necessary and the times are urgent.
