UK elections: Animals Count manifesto launch

[Guest guest]

On 17 April, at 5pm, Animals Count will be launching its General Election Manifesto at Housmans Bookshop, 5 Caledonian Road, Kings Cross, London.

 

Housmans provides the right platform for Animals Count to launch a radical but realistic political manifesto. The bookshop specialises in books, zines, and periodicals of radical interest and progressive politics. They stock the largest range of radical newsletters, newspapers and magazines of any shop in Britain.

 

Richard Deboo, Animals Count Deputy Leader and Parliamentary Candidate for Islington South and Finsbury, commented: “I am very excited about our manifesto, our policies, our philosophy, which together represent a practical and achievable proposal for a better world, a future in which everyone is entitled to their share, where the abundance created by our economy and the natural fruits of the earth are shared fairly amongst everyone.

 

We will stand in this election not only because it is our democratic right to do so, but also because it is absolutely right for us to do so. We speak for everyone and democracy must mean that everyone is heard, and so our voice is the voice of all in the community.

We call for genuine partnership, collaboration and co-operation between all members of our community, and a genuine recognition and protection of those non-humans in our world whose personhood has been denied – against all scientific and moral evidence – for too long and whose rights therefore should be established in law and fully endorsed by a system of social justice that is all encompassing and all-embracing.”
