Dilan Fernando discusses how over 2019 the UK public become more attuned to the climate crisis than ever before. However, the public conversation largely ignored the environmental impacts of animal farming, and the need for animals to be included in society's visions for climate justice. In light of this, Animal Rebellion was formed to highlight that we must end the animal emergency if we wish to end the climate emergency. A mass movement organisation, the group recently engaged in a two week campaign aiming to shift public consciousness on the need for a plant-based food system. The talk tells the story of Animal Rebellion while drawing out key learnings about strategy, movement building and how we might move forward in building public support for a plant-based food system.This talk was recorded at the Liberated Futures 2019 conference in Melbourne, organised by Collectively Free Kulin Nations and The Institute for Critical Animal Studies (Oceania).You can listen to audio of other talks from this conference here.

Up first on the show this week is Jess from the Institute of Critical Animal Studies Oceania (http://www.criticalanimalstudies.org/icas-oceania/). We interview Jess about the history and aims of ICAS, the conference they are having, and on incorporating an intersectional political analysis into animal liberation movements.Next, we have a lengthy interview with Van Badham, a writer, playwright and activist who also writes a column for the Guardian. This interview is about the online backlash she received after criticising the recent pension deal between the Greens and the Liberal Party. This interview covers some background, the nature of the abuse, and the broader political dimensions that help to perpetuate this form of misogyny, plus ways to support people when they experience this kind of backlash.

Ahead of the Institute for Critical Animal Studies Oceania conference, we talk to the opening night speaker, Dr Dinesh Wadiwel.Dr Wadiwel is a Lecturer in Human Rights and Socio-Legal Studies at the University of Sydney. His research interests include sovereignty and the nature of rights, violence, race and critical animal studies. In his forthcoming book, The War against Animals, he argues that our mainstay relationships with billions of animals are essentially hostile and that our sovereign claim of superiority over other animals is founded on nothing else but violence.The 3rd Institute for Critical Animal Studies Oceania conference: Conflict and Struggle, Resistance & Change 9-11 July Victorian Trades Hall, 53 Victoria St, Carlton Register now !ICAS Conference http://www.criticalanimalstudies.org/oceania-conference/Dr Dinesh Wadiwel's book, The War against Animals, is due out in August 2015   http://www.brill.com/products/book/war-against-animals
