Laura Broxson: National Animal Rights Association (NARA)
In this episode we talk to Laura Broxson. Laura is an activist focused on animal rights and founder of the National Animal Rights Association (NARA). NARA is a non-hierarchical organisation, taking a radical animal rights and vegan perspective. We’ll discuss how Laura came to activism and founding NARA; the anti-fur and hare-coursing campaigns in which she’s been involved; different methods of campaigning, from street protest to legislative change; cooperation and interaction with Left parties and organisations; and how Laura integrates animal rights campaigning in a wider anti-fascist, anti-capitalist and Left perspective.
For more information on the National Animal Rights Association, you can visit their website at naracampaigns.org.
Here are some NARA leaflets included in our collection:
- Ireland's Official Animal Rights March to Close All Slaughterhouses
- Tell your TD to Vote in Support of the Prohibition of Fur Farming Bill
- It's Time to Ban Hare Coursing in Ireland
Some additional resources on animal rights suggested by Laura in the discussion:
The Irish Left Archive Podcast looks at Left politics in Ireland, talking to activists, writers, historians, politicians and others involved in Left organisations and movements about their experiences of participating in Left parties and campaigns. The podcast is hosted by Ciarán Swan and Aonghus Storey.
