About us
Ninety-nine percent of animals killed in the United States each year die to be eaten. This Meetup is for people interested in helping to end this atrocity by educating the general public (pre-vegans as an extreme optimist might say) about what goes on in factory farms, and how people can save animals simply by choosing not to eat them. There are many many opportunities to do this outreach....festivals, neighborhood art walks, colleges, music venues - the list goes on.
This group is for also getting together socially to support each other as we know if can be difficult sometimes to be that voice for compassion in a cruel world.
I will also post information about local demonstrations at stores that sell fur, animal research labs, and other events designed to let people know about atrocities that occur in their back yard.
Please also check out the Northwest Animal Rights Network (www.narn.org) for more information.
EVERYONE is welcome to join this group. You don't have to be vegan, you just have to at least be interested in going that direction.
Suggestions for venues and events are welcome as well. Just as long as they are vegan friendly.

Demo against UW Primate Research Center
University of Washington HUB Yard, 47°39'20.2"N 122°18'20.6"W, Seattle, WA, USCome join activists with NARN and Animal Rights Initiative for a demonstration on Feb. 10th against the UW Primate Research Center.
We will reach out to students about the Washington National Primate Research Center (WaNPRC). Many people are not aware that a primate research center is on campus. Our goal is to make sure people DO know and provide them with actions they can take to shut it down.
We will be in the Hub Yard, right in front of the Husky Union Building
(https://maps.app.goo.gl/GV6QogXriWBbDbJq8 ). We'd love to see you there anytime between noon and 1:45pm.
We will have leaflets, signs, and a banner. Please feel welcome to bring your own as well!Learn more about what goes on at the UW here: https://narn.org/testing-on-animals/

Know Your Rights Training
·OnlineOnlineJoin NARN and The Animal Activist Legal Defense Project for a timely and critical Know Your Rights Training. Presented by an experienced Washington State criminal defense attorney, this training will provide you with a basic toolkit to effectively assert your constitutional rights while engaging in protests. Interacting with law enforcement can be an inevitable part of campaigning. While no training can avoid every negative interaction, effectively asserting your rights minimizes the risks of unwanted legal entanglements, both allowing you to be more confident as an activist and keeping your time and energy focused where it is needed: those who need our voices. This training is designed to provide an easy-to-remember and easy-to-use approach to best protecting your rights while advocating for change.

WTF: Seattle, USA - WTF Movie Challenge, February 22nd, 2026
Seattle Space Needle, Seattle Center, Seattle, WA, USHi friends and fellow animal advocates!
We The Free: Seattle will be hosting a 3-Minute Movie Challenge on Sunday, February 22nd. We hope to see many of us there! 🤩✊✨
Location: Space Needle, Seattle Center. When you walk from Space Needle towards Armory anti-clockwise, you should see us.
📅 Date: Sunday, February 22nd
Time: 12:00 Noon – 4:00 PM
🔗 RSVP & Details: https://www.activism.wtf/wtf_seattle_usa_-_wtf_movie_challenge_february_22nd_2026Weather permitting! We can deal with tiny sprinkles! If it looks like rain is likely, we may reschedule to U District Station so check back a couple of days before the event directly on the RSVP link.
👉 Here’s how it works: We invite the public to voluntarily watch a short but graphic video in exchange for a snack, without knowing the content beforehand. The footage, narrated, showcases standard, legal practices in animal agriculture. A non-graphic yet powerful version is available for children. This creative approach lowers defenses, helping people see animals as sentient individuals rather than commodities, while fostering respectful and meaningful conversations afterward.
