Liberate is a magazine written by and for the animal liberation

*movement*in Aotearoa. It aims to encourage discussion amongst the

*movement* about animal abuse issues, strategies, tactics and goals. In no

way does Liberate aim to create a homogenised, centralised approach to

animal liberation but rather we wish to acknowledge our diversity of thought,

action and collective experience, knowledge and passion.

 

We acknowledge that industrialised animal abuse is the result of an

oppressive global regime that puts power and profit before the preservation

of life, whether it be that of an animal, human or mother earth. This system

not only encourages and legitimises animal abuse but also racism,

sexism, homophobia,

colonisation and environmental destruction.

 

 

It is for this reason that we have proposed that the feature of our next

magazine be focused around animal rights/veganism and its relationship to

other forms of oppression, where animal rights fits with these forms of

oppression, how activists in these different movements can work together and

where animal rights (and the community) may be reinforcing the oppression of

other groups/the environment or failing to take the oppression of others

into account. For example an analysis of veganism and class, animal rights

and anarcha-feminism and indigenous *struggles* and traditional hunting

practices.

 

 

It would be great to have peoples' submissions around this topic, just

anything you want to say or contributions for any of the other sections in

the magazine. We want it all.

 

 

The other sections are:

 

- Books not Bombs (book, CD and zine reviews and excerpts)

- Activism and the (in)justice system (send us details of your brushes

with the law and issues relating to prisoner support)

- Security

- Activist Toolkit (new section detailing useful tips for effective

activism)

- Reports for the underground

- Letters to the community (short comments about the magazine, short

replies to articles or a response to anything happening within the

community)

 

Please send us your submissions, thoughts, art and/or ideas. We will try not

to edit your writing but it may from time to time be necessary if it is too

long.
