Revolutionary Animal Advocacy Forum
Coming to you on the 23rd of May in Amsterdam!
RAAF (Revolutionary Animal Advocacy Forum) is an event that inspires you to stand up for animal rights in ways that fit your unique personalities and strengths. We'll invite experienced advocates to share personal insights and leave plenty of space for reflection. After the talks we'll have time for connection, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere where you can recharge and enjoy yourself.
This is the first RAAF of what we plan to make a series of gatherings. Our mission is to bring the animal rights movement in the Netherlands closer together, so we can all be more effective advocates for the animals. We hope to see you at RAAF #1.

Tim is a powerhouse in the fight for animal rights. He earned his Master’s at the University of Amsterdam with a thesis in Critical Animal Rights Studies—laying the academic foundation for this advocacy. Today, he lobbies for the Transitiecoalitie to shift the Netherlands toward predominantly plant‑based protein. In his spare time Tim is also active in grassroots outreach, rallies and vigils.

Torben has been an active animal advocate since December 2020. Starting with street outreach, he has since explored a wide variety of advocacy forms, ranging from public manifestations, civil disobedience and pressure campaigning to political lobbying. His reflections on social movement strategy - based on his own experiences and lessons from history - led him to become a co-founder of RAAF.

RAAF is a donation-based event. We do have some costs though (e.g. renting the space, snacks, etc.). To break even, we need about 5 euros per person. If you can support us, it would mean the world 💚
