Nottingham Animal Rights meeting at the Sumac Centre in Forest Fields, to plan forthcoming campaign activities.
All welcome – hunt sabs, vegan campaigners, AR activists, people who want to get involved, and people who just want to know more about what we do, including supporters of Animal Aid, Greyhound Action, Hunt Sabs, VIVA!, Vegan Society and the many other groups that we aim to support locally.
In between the Sumac meetings, there may also be meetings in the City Centre.
We recognize that turning up to a meeting of complete strangers can be daunting, but the atmosphere at NottinghamAR meetings is always very informal, and by all means bring a couple of friends with you if it makes you feel more confident, everyone is welcome!
The planning meetings are where you can obtain support from like minded people for campaigns against all forms of animal cruelty.
There is no hierarchy, our broad scope is a consequence of a broad demographic of proactive members. Whether your interest is in countering the fur trade, factory farming, vivisection, blood sports or (most commonly) all animal cruelty, you will find campaigning opportunities as part of both local and national initiatives.
We have members from all backgrounds, from experienced activists to those who are new to animal rights or have been appalled by YouTube videos of animal experiments and joined us to do something about it. So don’t worry if you are new to campaigning, there truly is something for everyone. 🙂
All our activities are 100% legal and non-violent, we do public protests and other direct action, we do information stalls, we do free food give-aways, we do sanctuary work, and in fact anything else we can think of, including trips to demos elsewhere.

Join us for four days of low impact living at the Green Gathering in an area of outstanding beauty, every nook and corner bursting with music, creativity, natural abundance and community spirit.
The original off-grid, non-profit festival: we’re powered by sun, wind, people and passion for change.

Intimate solar stages showcase up and coming acts, legendary festival favourites, DJs and spellbinding raconteurs. Share wisdom and skills; find friends old and new; weave, weld and tell stories.
Have a party – then wake up and put the world to rights. This festival’s impact lasts longer than a weekend.
Call Out for Workshops at @GreenGathering_
If you’ve been before or not, given a workshop before or not, we encourage anyone engaged in the struggle for a better world to send us a proposal for one or more workshops in the Campaigns area on your cause. We always give priority to direct action campaigns that are looking to mobilise people, but we are open to all kinds of related topics around that. Please get in touch with any questions or just email your proposal to greengatheringcampaigns@gmail.com

Here at Veggies we are continuing to push forward our minimal packaging policies – extending the use of proper mugs to serving soft drinks in returnable beakers, to reduce use of single use plastics & straws. We have now established distribution of our Ethical Consumer Best Buy Burger/Sosage Mixes to many other caterers to help raise their ethical sourcing and ended the production of frozen foods.
Respect existence or expect resistance!
30th ever EarthFirst! Summer Gathering in the UK!
The summer gathering will take place 24-29th of July on a beautiful apple orchard near Shrewsbury.
Five days of skill-sharing for grassroots ecological direct action – make links, share ideas, and get involved in the struggles against open cast coal, fracking, new roads, HS2, climate criminals and more.
The Earth First! Summer Gathering is the place where people involved in radical ecological direct action – or those who want to be involved – get together for five days of time and space to talk, walk, share skills, learn, play, rant, find out what’s going on, find out what’s next, live outside, strategise, hang out, incite, laugh and conspire.
The workshops, networking and planning of actions at this low impact eco-living camp is organised non-hierarchically. It’s run without leaders by everyone who comes along, so come prepared to chip in!
There will be a kids’ space and programme, more info to follow! If you intend on bringing a dog friend, please let us know beforehand – there is limited space for dogs!
If you have specific accessibility needs please get in touch with us (earthfirstuk [at] riseup.net).
The schedule will be on display and you will be given a printed copy upon arrival. Spoiler alert – it will be amazing.
Veggies Catering Campaign are likely to be helping with the campaign catering.
There will be three meals a day, a cafe space with tea, coffee and cake– but it might be good to bring more bits and bobs if you know you might feel snacky in between meals. We ask everyone to leave a donation if you can (cash only!), but no-one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Collect fliers & posters for the @earthfirst_uk Summer Gathering from Vegges at Glastonbury Green Futures, at the Green Gathering & many other events with Food by Veggies!
Our annual Spring gathering brings together worker cooperators and our wider network of supporters and friends to reconnect, celebrate, get inspiration and learn. There will be great food, music, camping and campfires as well as indoor accommodation and event spaces, and it’s always fun.
Taking place at Thornbridge outdoor pursuits centre near Sheffield, the worker co-op weekend has a 2.5 day programme full of peer learning and business networking opportunities. We’re now co-creating the programme with a mix of planned and open space events, and booking will be open soon so watch this space.
If there are subjects you’d like to see covered, or would be interested in running a session yourself, please add a suggestion to this list. Discussion about the event is in this forum post.
Worker Co-op Weekend is generously supported by domains.coop
