Why should animal rights activists start caring and actively engaging in a broader spectrum of causes? Why is this the most effective route to achieve better animal welfare and ultimately animal liberation? The Connections Alliance, founded by Aline Baroni from Singeria Animal and Karolina Skowron from The Animal Center, is a group of animal rights organizations and activists with the mission to build a safer environment within the animal rights movement and support the animal rights movement in building bridges and cooperating with other social justice movements. This talk will present the newly founded coalition and invite activists and animal rights organizations to join.
