✊ Solidarity Day: Vienna 2026 ✊
Solidarity Day aims to build a nationwide network of activists who join forces on the first weekend of August each year. This collective day of action serves as a powerful platform to raise awareness about the exploitation of animals and advocate for veganism. By taking part, you are contributing to an event that could become the largest animal rights event of the year!
At our gathering in Vienna, we show solidarity with other animal rights groups; together, we take over the heart of the city with a powerful march and an impactful outreach action. We will make ourselves heard along the legendary Ringstraße before heading to Kärntner Straße to speak directly with the public.
What We Are Doing
📢 Part 1: Solidarity Day Demo March [11:45–14:15]
We come together to form a strong, united front for the animals. Together, we march along the famous “Ring” to the historic Stephansplatz, drawing attention and showing Vienna that the future is vegan.
💎 Part 2: Big Diamond Outreach [14:15–16:45]
After the demo march, we switch to a highly effective, structured outreach format. We set up a “Big Diamond” formation to draw the attention of passersby, have meaningful conversations about animal rights, and inspire lasting change.
