Come out Saturday 16th and be the voice
for the horses downtown forced to work in terrible conditions!
After working hours in this Texas heat they go
back to a storage unit with cement floors. These horses do not get to roam freely on grass, they have to work then go back to a lonely storage unit with barely any room to move around.
When: Saturday April 16, 2022
Time: 5pm-7pm
Location: Street outside Hard Rock Cafe
111 W Crockett St, San Antonio, TX 78205
This Sunday! Join us at the Stop The Killing March to speak up about the thousands of dogs euthanized in shelters! Also help speak up about making a connection and spreading a vegan message.
This event will be led by Planned Parenthood!
Sharing so more people can be aware of this event that will be happening October 2nd all over several states and cities ❤️
Thank y’all for coming out to protest the circus today! 🎪
NO EXCUSE FOR ANIMAL ABUSE!!!
We'll be protesting the Carden Circus this Saturday Sept 11th at 2pm for their continued use of animals in their shows. These animals are taken from their place in the wild and are forced to labor for the profit of humans. Despite many circus deciding to leave animal abuse out of their shows, Carden Circus continues to choose the side of oppression.
If you'd like to help get involved, we are looking for help with making signs and making new beautiful banners! Message us if you want to help and stand up for the voiceless!
Until All Cages Are Empty
Come out on Saturday September 4th to speak up against SB 8. 🗣
Senate Bill 8 takes effect September 1, 2021. ❌
🤰🏻This new bill makes it illegal for women to obtain abortions once fetal cardiac activity is detected. This happens at approximately six weeks — before most people even know they’re pregnant — with no exceptions for r**e, sexual abuse, in**st, and fetal anomaly diagnoses. For people with a regular menstrual cycle, that’s just two weeks after a missed period.
For many years women had to turn to unsafe ways of having abortions such as using hangers, causing physical trauma to their stomachs, and overdosing on different pills, this cost many women their lives.
WE WILL NOT GO BACK. WE NEED TO KEEP ABORTION SAFE AND LEGAL. 🙅🏻♀️
Come out on September 4th, bring a sign, and your voice and let everyone know that we will not stand to see our healthcare rights taken away.
We will be meeting at Milam Park and listen to a few people speak their stories and why abortions are necessary, then we will be marching around downtown.
If you would like to be a speaker at our event DM us!
Hope to see y’all there!
Join us Saturday to bring light to the darkness behind Seaworld!
How are people still supporting after the blackfish documentary?
Have you not seen it? Look up for more details on why we are outraged by the mistreat these beautiful, sacred , wise sea animals are treated, FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT!
Did quarantine ever make you feel crazy? Imagine these sentient beings!
Here’s just a few reason why you shouldn’t support & boycott sea world!
1) SeaWorld has violated the Animal Welfare Act multiple times.
2) SeaWorld separates orca calves from their mothers (and then claims that it doesn't).
3) SeaWorld runs an orca breeding program that shows little regard for cetacean health.
4) SeaWorld stole baby penguins from their colony in Antarctica.
5) SeaWorld shows little regard for worker safety -- in fact, they lobby against it.
6) SeaWorld drugs their animals -- even when they're nursing -- against accepted veterinary guidelines.
7) SeaWorld profits off keeping orcas and other marine animals in captivity.
8. Captivity makes whales & dolphins depressed
9) Dolphins at SeaWorld are being forcibly bred.
Are okay with this?! You shouldn’t be! They are here with US, not for US!

About Us
Come out on June 25th from 4pm-7pm to speak up about the Heartbeat Bill and help spread awareness on why we need to keep abortion legal. 🗣
On May 19, 2021 Governor Gregg Abbot signed the “Heartbeat Law” preventing women from being able to legally have abortions once the fetus heartbeat is detected. This usually happens before most women find out they are pregnant. 🤰🏻
For many years women had to turn to unsafe ways of having abortions such as using hangers, causing physical trauma to their stomachs, and overdosing on different pills. WE WILL NOT GO BACK. WE NEED TO KEEP ABORTION SAFE AND LEGAL. 🙅🏻♀️
Why women may choose to have an abortion?
Women may choose to have an abortion if they are not financially stable, if the pregnancy was a result of r**e, if they are in an abusive relationship, if they are in a high risk pregnancy and many more...
Kids looking to be adopted: Adoptuskids.org
👧🏽👦🏿🧒🏼👧🏻👦🏾 There is thousands of children in foster homes already looking to be adopted. Our government should be looking at ways to help these children, so many kids age out of foster care due to no one adopting them.
How can we make a difference? 🗳
VOTE! Gregg Abbott term isn’t up until 2022, but we must start now speaking up and encouraging others to help VOTE HIM OUT! This “Heartbeat Bill” is just one example of why it is important to vote, so that people with negative views can’t make laws that take away our rights to healthcare.
🏥 Abortion is healthcare! 🩺
A Cube of Truth is a peaceful street activism demonstration that employs direct action with the public.
We BE THE CHANGE TX, want you to come out and spread the message of what goes on behind close doors. Not just for the animals, but also for the humans that are exploited and the land that is polluted by big corporations.
We are not associated to AV (anonymous for the voiceless) , since they do not believe in intersectional activism.
Why we chose to be intersectional activist?
Think of the change we could create in our world if every social justice group came together. If rather than individual groups fighting for recognition, we were able to come together and fight for justice for all.
If vegans fought for the rights of marginalized people from every walk of life in addition to fighting for the rights of non-human individuals.
We would add MILLIONS of voices to each of these vital causes. We would create safe, welcoming spaces for countless people to become more open to our message.
This is how real change will come about. Not from constant reductionism of the issues, but from an understanding that oppression is wrong, no matter who is being oppressed. That oppression must end, and we must unite to make this dream a reality.
Simply put, intersectionality is an understanding of the interconnected nature of all forms of oppression; from racism, sexism, classism, ableism, speciesism, and beyond.
The value of intersectionality comes not only from understanding this compounded effect of oppression and privilege within society but also from its tendency to reveal the common roots of all oppression, bringing members of various social groups together.

A Shocking video captured on February 29 in Central Park shows the moment when a horse—a 12-year-old mare named Aisha who spent her life being forced to pull heavy carriages full of tourists—collapsed. She never got back up. As is the case with many horses who break down under the physical and mental stress of being used for outdated forms of human entertainment, she was euthanized.
Sadly, further footage shows that Aisha’s suffering continued even after she collapsed. One video appears to show carriage-industry workers blowing smoke into her face, causing her to flip over in terror. People on the scene allege that eventually, workers tied her up and dragged her onto a trailer. Reportedly, no veterinarian was on site.
This is just one case proving that making horses pull oversized loads like carriages is cruel. Horses are forced to toil in all weather extremes, dodge traffic, and pound the pavement all day long. They may develop respiratory ailments because they breathe in exhaust fumes, and they can suffer debilitating leg problems from walking on hard surfaces.
Horses are afforded no protection under the federal Animal Welfare Act, so the responsibility of looking out for their welfare falls to local animal-control officials. But anti-cruelty laws provide few safeguards to horses, and many humane agencies just don’t have the resources or the time to monitor horse-drawn carriages on a regular basis. Animals can easily be overworked when profit-driven operators fail to follow regulations.
In Charleston, South Carolina, for example, drivers are supposed to take the re**al temperature of horses after a tour when the temperature reaches 85 degrees or above, to determine if they can keep working.
In St. Augustine, Florida, horses don’t have to be pulled from service until either the ambient temperature reaches a sweltering 95 degrees or the heat index reaches 105.
Philadelphia has no regulations pertaining to heat for animal-drawn carriages.
And there are no laws preventing old, injured, or spent horses from being sent to slaughter. Horses are considered property under the law, so owners can dispose of them in any way that they want. Since many may consider it cost-prohibitive to care for an animal who isn’t bringing in any revenue, the fate of discarded horses is grim.
Please help us make San Antonio, Be the Change, to retire these beautiful sentient beings and let them be wild and free! Sign the petition and come out Friday to let others know this is an old school tradition that is not needed!

An Ammonia spill, caused by Kiolbassa Smoke Meats, has led to the death of thousands of local, fish❗️❗️
------------------------
As stated by News4SA, "An ammonia spill at Kiolbassa Smoked Meats has killed a large amount of fish in San Pedro Creek and the San Antonio River. [Some of] ...which included carp, tilapia, catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Guadalupe Bass...
According to the San Antonio River Authority, they were made aware of a strong ammonia odor coming from San Pedro Creek near Furnish Avenue on Tuesday. They sent their environmental team to investigate and confirmed the odor and found that at least 50 fish had been killed by the ammonia spill. They continued to monitor the situation Wednesday and reported even more dead fish.”
The total of fish killed was close to 5,500❗️❗️
Manure lagoons put our streams, rivers, and other bodies of water at risk, but it doesn’t have to be this way. We must limit and end operations that pose severe threats to water. The best way to prevent toxic spills is to limit activities that create the potential for spills in the first place, namely not eating fish and other aquatic creatures. In addition, manure lagoons should be banned since they have the potential to contaminate our water supply. Keep risky facilities, like Kiolbassa Smoked Meats, out of San Antonio!
We must protect aquatic life, the water, and the land! It's important to be considerate and remember that we are not the only ones inhabiting this planet. Animals are here with us, not for us!
Join us Friday July 31st from 12:00-2:30 p.m.
Snacks, waters, signs and hand sanitizers will be provided! Please bring a mask and remember to social distance.
Will you be there defending the sacred? 🙏🏽✊🏽
Have you heard of “Wet Markets” before? If you haven’t, we just got one here In San Antonio, TX.
A wet market in Wuhan, China, called the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, is believed to be the source of COVID-19.
Wet markets sell and sometimes slaughter live animals on site. Some of which include chickens, fish, and shellfish. For many people in China, these markets are a staple of everyday life.
Alamo Farms is a wet market where customers may choose a live animal to pet, take selfies with, and watch their last breaths leave them as they are slaughtered. Alamo Farms portrays themselves as “humanely slaughtering” these animals in the name of “God”, also known as Halal Meat.
Please help us shut this slaughterhouse down to help prevent more pandemics and to stop the unnecessary killing of animals that belong to this land and that deserve to live their lives freely, just like us!
Please bring a sign, mask and keep social distancing, which is a privilege we have. Free masks and hand sanitizer will be provided. See you Friday and Sunday!

Wet markets sell and sometimes slaughter live animals on site. Some of which include chickens, fish, and shellfish. For many people in China, these markets are a staple of everyday life.
Sometimes wet markets also sell live wild animals and their flesh. The Huanan market had a selection of live and slaughtered wild animals such as snakes, beavers, porcupines, and baby crocodiles.

This Saturday come out and Be the change! 🌱🌎
Have you been seeing more trash then usual, maybe even the popular, face masks and latex gloves? Now that quarantine isn’t as limited, people are back out enjoying parks, trails and beaches yet, leaving trash behind.
Out of the 1.3 billion tons of household waste generated per year, only about 258-368 million tons of trash end up in one of the 50 largest dumpsites. Where is the rest of it?
The fact is, waste has a nasty little habit of not staying in one place. As trash begins to decompose, harmful chemicals and toxins begin to leak. First, into the soil, then it spreads into water and air– the very things that all living things depend on for a healthy life. Dirty drinking water, spreading diseases, red-flag air pollution days, these are all related in some ways to the waste we produce.
As waste spreads, it eventually makes it’s way to the oceans.
Every year, 8 million tons of garbage is added to our oceans, 80% of it from mainland waste.
Improperly discarded waste touches every corner of our world, and every inhabitant.
We will be up-cycling all the gathered trash to build earth ship like homes in Texas.
Built with natural, recycled materials, Earthships create comfortable and cosy living spaces without relying on public utilities. They're totally self-sufficient, producing their own electricity, heating and food, whilst managing sustainable water harvesting and sewage systems too.
If we want to see a difference, we have to be the ones to make the difference. Let’s Be The Change we want to see in our community and in our world 🌎
Join us this Saturday for our first Park Clean up! We will have hand sanitizer provided and garbage bags. Bring your gardening gloves, comfy shoes, masks, and snack to enjoy while we talk and reflect about being more eco-friendly.
Join us this Tuesday May 5th from 12pm-3pm to protest the San Antonio Drive Thru Zoo!
Having animals in captivity for others entertainment is bad enough, yet San Antonio Zoo wants to stress the animals even more by having several vehicles drive by and polluting the animals habitats even more.
Come out Saturday March 14th Cherrity Bar
ALL AGES WELCOME!
$5 Entrance Fee includes free food samples from ALL FOOD vendors!
$3 raffle tickets 🎟 to win prizes ranging $20-$80 from our donors!
