What if we aimed our opposition's best weapon against themselves, so that every time they used it, it hurt them? What if we maximized our recruitment of animal liberationists? What if we divided our opponents? What if we undermined our opposition's authority? And, what if we accomplished these objectives simultaneously? Now that would be power! Power to significantly accelerate obtaining total animal liberation.
By implementing strategic nonviolence, we can utilize that power. This booklet was created to explain strategic nonviolence, encourage movement unity, advocate the adoption of strategic nonviolence by animal liberationists, empower activists to become their own leaders, and propose a plan for achieving total animal liberation.
This booklet is far from the final word on strategy, but merely the Animal Liberation League's contribution to the animal liberation community's ongoing discussion regarding the best way to achieve total animal liberation as quickly as possible. The Animal Liberation League sees strategic nonviolence as the animals' best hope for complete and lasting animal liberation. We conduct our campaigns accordingly and actively promote the use of strategic nonviolence by all animal liberationists.
To those activists who disagree with strategic nonviolence, we share your frustration, desire for immediate victories, and an end to the intolerable oppression animals face, and we offer you our unconditional respect and moral support. We further invite you to read this booklet with an open heart, open mind, and a desire for understanding, that together we may find peace for all animals.
