Campaign-In-An-Hour: AI Tools for Animal Advocates

Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/880280588046613

Ready to put AI to work for animals -- ethically, creatively, and with purpose -- and turn ideas into effective strategies you can actually use? Brains and heartlights on! Here's your spark-to-strategy way to go about it.

Mike Wigmore of Equip AI, a long-time vegan and animal activist, brings a rare and powerful combination to the table: Deep AI and technical expertise paired with serious creative juice.

Mike doesn’t just understand the tools -- he knows how to play with them, push them, and shape them into strategies that advocates can actually use.

This workshop is designed like a Lab experiment: We’re taking an idea, testing it, refining it, and extracting real-world advocacy outputs -- all in real time.

No abstract tech talk -- Mike will guide participants through the full lifecycle of an animal rights campaign, showing how AI can support each phase:

• from initial hypothesis (campaign idea)
• to research and context-building
• to setting up a context-aware AI project
• to rapidly generating usable, resonating campaign materials and strategies

Together, we’ll build a comprehensive animal rights campaign within an hour or so, centred on a real issue…which shall be revealed on the day of!

The resulting strategy will be something you can tweak, adapt, and build upon for other issues, long after the workshop ends.

What’s on the Lab bench:

Tool Tour
* a fast-paced run-through of several AI tools -- what they do, how they differ, and where they’re most useful for advocacy
* Mike will show how to prompt effectively -- not just what to ask, but how to guide AI toward sharper, more nuanced results

Live Campaign Build
* using a real-world animal advocacy issue, Mike will demonstrate how AI can help design a multi-pronged campaign that speaks to different audiences and motivations -- logic, compassion, ethics, environmental impact, health, and more

✨ No advanced tech knowledge required!
✨ Ideal for activists, creatives, organizers, campaigners, and curious humans
✨ A more hands-on follow-up session is planned for a future date

Animals need us to be nimble, strategic, and creative -- and AI can give advocates a powerful edge over their non-vegan counterparts. Used thoughtfully, these tools can help us move faster, test ideas sooner, and turn good intentions into coordinated action.

Supercharge your animal advocacy -- without replacing your heart, values, voice...or brain!
