Cube of Truth: Vienna

Welcome, new activists! Thank you for joining the Cube of Truth. Your participation plays a vital role in exposing the truth about animal exploitation and educating the public about it. This guide provides you with essential information so you are well prepared to support us in this powerful form of activism. About the Cube of Truth: The Cube of Truth is a street campaign in which we engage with the public through direct action in a structured and impactful way. On screens, we show standard footage of animal exploitation to reveal the truth. Volunteers simultaneously hold one-on-one conversations with passersby to educate them about animal exploitation and show them how they can make a difference.
