“There’s a growing movement across the world to end the abuse and exploitation of animals used for food, fashion, and entertainment,” said Dianna Roa, co-organizer of the new Montclair chapter of Anonymous for the Voiceless. “Through what we call The Cube we educate the public on what happens behind the scenes in industries that profit off of animals. Our goal is to open the public’s eyes and help them come to the conclusion that we vote with our dollar, and they no longer want to pay for this abuse”

Animal advocates with a variety of knowledge in animal welfare will be available to the public to discuss and answer questions on a variety of topics, including how we can end animal exploitation, the benefits of a plant based vegan diet, and how animal agriculture is a large contributor to climate change.

“We are very excited about starting Anonymous for the Voiceless In Montclair,” said Dana Battista and Olivia Femia, co-organizers. “Montclair is a very vegan-friendly town full of like minded people that we know once exposed will want to make a change.”

Meet the people who are being a voice for the voiceless. Whether you are an individual who cares about animals or an aspiring animal activist you will gain knowledge and advice from people who are creating life-saving change for the animals.
