Animal Rights Protest #2

Loud Next Steps

On September 12, 2023, Sabine "Bine" Krist and Alexandra S. Aderhold organized their second animal rights protest in popping lingerie at the Alexanderplatz, and it turned out to be even more colorful and impactful than the first. This time, their bold decision to use lingerie as a powerful attention-grabbing tool, combined with neon signs and large, eye-catching letters, paid off beautifully.

Passersby at the public square couldn't help but be drawn in by the striking visuals and the passionate message of total animal liberation. In a heartening display of solidarity, some individuals who were already vegan shed their clothes to join the protest, holding up signs that advocated for animal rights.

The highlight of the day was the presence of Raffaela Raab, famously known as "Die Militante Veganerin," one of the most prominent animal rights activists in German-speaking countries. Her significant online following, particularly on TikTok, brought a younger demographic to the protest, sparking engaging discussions about animal rights and the abolition of animal slavery, capturing moments through photos and videos for social media, and attracting numerous curious onlookers.

Overall, the second lingerie protest was an immense success, characterized by positive conversations and interactions, and a powerful message of nonviolence. While there were a few detractors who were evidently triggered by the cause, the overwhelming support and constructive dialogues overshadowed any negativity. This event served as another strong testament to the growing momentum behind the animal rights movement.
