Anti-Animal-Use Advocacy 03/27/26

Anti-Animal-Use Advocacy Event Friday, March 27, 2026 Pioneer Place – SW 5th Ave & SW Morrison St, Portland, OR 97204 12:30pm–4:00pm (join anytime) We are Anti-Animal-Use—a collective of abolitionist activists committed to ending the exploitation of all sentient beings. We believe that sentience—not species—grants the right to bodily autonomy, freedom, and protection from human caused exploitation. Our activism is rooted in the simple truth that using someone against their will is oppression—no matter how it is disguised. We engage the public in conversations that ask: Are you living in alignment with your moral principles? If you’re against oppression and exploitation, why participate in systems that violates animals inherent rights and depends on their use for taste, fashion, entertainment, or cosmetics? When we consider the perspective of the victim, the violence becomes undeniable. We advocate for veganism as the moral baseline—the only ethical way to live without demanding the use, abuse, or killing of others. We oppose all forms of exploitation, oppression, and arbitrary discrimination—human or nonhuman. We strive to honor the dignity of all sentient beings, to hold ourselves accountable, to learn from our mistakes, and to do better—together. We have different options for advocating. We have some TV screens that play dominion. We have nongraphic signs that draw curious people in to answer a few questions. If you are comfortable with talking with people, remember to do so in a calm kind manor. Bring focus to the victims perspective and remain curious about the other person's perspective. **BEFORE ATTENDING** PLEASE REVIEW group google file link below for flowcharts.
