25.01.2022 Are you a young person in Melbourne who's keen to create a better world for animals? Come along to our very first community meeting, where you can help us empower young animal rights advocates! We've created these community meetings to give you the chance to guide our youth animal rights projects, meet other inspiring young people, and help out as a volunteer. You'll be right in the thick of the exciting work we do, whether you want to be part of key decisions or just hang out as an observer.

22.01.2022 Activists across Australia have occupied a number of slaughterhouses and farms, engaged in open rescue, and shut down the Melbourne CBD in a coordinated effort to demand an end to the breeding, farming and killing of animals for food and other human purposes.

20.01.2022 THE NEXT ADVENTURE... With sadness and excitement the YVA team would like to announce that we have decided to end our operations as of August 2019. The last 3 years have been some of the most inspiring, exhilirating and exhausting of our lives and we are so proud of the small part we've played in the lives of so many incredible young people. We wish we could go on forever but the future calls. With two of our founding members jetting off to continue their activism in th...e UK and the rest of us hard at work on other projects, animal rights and other, we've decided to say thank you and goodbye and leave our work in the hands of those who took part in our various projects. But, it's not quite over yet. Thanks to our incredible partners over at Voiceless: the animal protection institute we'll be collaborating one last time. Using our leftover funds, Voiceless will launch an exciting new project sometime next year which will carry on our purpose of educating and inspiring the next generation of animal liberation changemakers. The details of this project are still in the works, but you haven't quite heard the last of us yet so stay tuned to Voiceless' social media! We also realise that our work and internal files may be useful to various people going forward, and so we've set up a public folder where anyone can access some of our key files long after we've closed down: https://drive.google.com/folderview We're so sad to say goodbye but we hope that we've touched the lives of some people and they'll see our vision of a better world worth carrying and fighting for. With much love, The YVA team (past and present) Kianna Hope, Harley McDonald-Eckersall, Dilan Fernando, Emily Huang, Ella Frost, Nha Phuong Dang, Jemma McPherson, Emmy Montgomery and Jade Tansey

10.01.2022 The March to Close All Slaughterhouses in Melbourne has gotten bigger and bigger each time, with over 1000 people showing up in 2018. Will you join in this year?

07.01.2022 "...from Tunis to Tahrir Square, from Zuccotti Park to Ferguson, from Burkina Faso to Hong Kong, movements worldwide have drawn on the lessons of Gandhi, King and everyday activists at home and abroad to push for change." What do you think animal rights activists could learn from nonviolent movements throughout the world? Note: We want to mention that it's very common for historians (a field that tends to be dominated by men) often tends to overemphasise charismatic male leaders like Gandhi and King, while erasing innumerable trans, nonbinary and female organisers who drive movements. In light of the above quote, let's be sure not to forget these folk!
