 Today is a very special day of remembrance for me. Today is my father's birthday. I wear his ashes around my neck and he gives me strength and guidance on my journey as an activist. When Dad died we found a video of him talking about persistence. He spoke of how we need not always fight, but we should never give up, no matter how hard it gets. A simple change could shift the fucking earth. What if I told you you've been lied to since your first breath at birth? What if I told you that the food chain is not a vertical line with humanity at the top and all the nominations are defined? What if I told you that this tragedy is your choice? What if I told you that it's not true that these animals have no voice because they fucking scream? I've heard it. It's time for us to rise up and rebel. Rebellion solidarity with animals and against the climate crisis. To join forces with Extinction Rebellion and highlight the injustice of animal agriculture and the contribution it makes to climate change. We want to take nonviolent direct action to reveal the violence animals are subjected to. As Greta Thunberg beautifully said, when we start to act, hope is everywhere. So instead of looking for hope, look for action, then the hope will come. We can't just hope. We can't just dream as cafe. We must act just as you have today. Never lose hope. Close your eyes and dream of a better world. But make sure that when you open your eyes again, you're grown. Those who currently perpetuate these systems of violence who could one day be the same people to enter for them why? We need to educate them. We need to show them. That is why we're here today. To build that momentum inside of us. To feel that strength inside of us. To go out there and change the minds of people who need to be changed. To show them what they need to see. To make them listen to the noises that they need to listen to. And to make them aware of what it is they've desperately tried to hide from. We show them what they don't want to see. We show them the truth. Stronger than we have ever been. And we will see that vegan world. Because we will not stop until we make it happen. Because something inside of us has said enough is enough. Enough.
