VSA joins Save Square

On Sunday January 15th, the Animal Save Movement is organising a Save Square again in Nijmegen! VSA Nijmegen is joining this vegan outreach event so that you can get to know this form of activism 😀.

The Save Square consist of two groups. One group stands around blindfolded (you can see through the blindfold) holding a screen, facing different directions. The screens show footage from the animal exploitation industry. The other half of the group are outreachers who talk with passers-by to make them think about their (food) choices regarding animals. The participants regularly change roles, but if you don’t feel comfortable doing outreach, you can also just remain in the square.

The footage shown at the event is graphic, but you don’t need to watch it if you don’t want to. Especially if you only stand in the formation, you see (next to) nothing of it.

For more info you can also check out this event description from Animal Save More detailed instructions are given at the event and the organisers will be there to help you if it is your first activist experience. A VSA board member will also be present if you need any (emotional) support. The organisers will provide some hot beverages during the event to warm you up 😋!

After the event, people joining from the VSA will talk about how the event was for us. Participants often go out together to grab a bite to eat, feel free to join them. See you there!
