Fighting for Total Animal Liberation in Philadelphia

Revolution Philadelphia is an independent, grassroots, animal rights organization founded and organized by women.

We believe in non-violent direct action, education, outreach and policy change to bring about change.

We are anti-speciesist and vegan.

We envision a world free from animal exploitation. A kinder world, where animals are not treated as mere commodities, or a means to an end for our greed but accepted for who they are: sentient individuals worthy of respect and capable of living meaningful lives of their own.

We envision a world without speciesism, the belief that humans are superior than animals because they are humans. We believe in anti-speciesism, the belief that animals deserve to be respected because they are sentient beings.

We have zero tolerance for cruelty or exploitation of animals on any level and for any species.

“Every animal fights to live, to love, to keep breathing. Anti-speciesism is the simple, radical act of honoring that truth”—Mansi Bhagwate, Co-Founder, Revolution Philadelphia
