We're AACTive

Recent Protests & Events

AACT has organised many actions and events over the last twelve months, below are a few examples:

For World Environment Day on 5 June 2008 AACT held a stall in conjunction with the Huon Valley Environment Centre and Food Not Bombs in Franklin Square, and handed out free vegetarian burgers and sausages thanks to Australian Eatwell and Banjos Bakery.

World Earth Day was on 22 April and AACT held a stall in Franklin Square to raise people's awareness about the impact that livestock farming has on the environment and also to promote a brilliant new film: A Delicate Balance.

Protest action and media attention on the battery hen farming issue kept AACT busy in February and March 2008. Much media attention was also on Duck season during this time, and on 10 March a shot duck, unclaimed by the shooter, was presented Steve Cons. Shearwater season saw AACT members show how easy it is to get a 'licence to kill'

AACT has held stalls at the Cygnet Folk Festival, the John Butler Trio Concert, and at the Southern Roots Music Festival in the first half of this year. More stalls are planned at events later this year.

See "What's On" for details of upcoming stalls or fundraising activities.
