Veganarchy operates as a green anarchist collective based in Antwerp, Belgium, where theory meets practice through regular community organizing and mutual aid work. The group holds community kitchens twice a month, serving plant-based three-course meals on a free-will basis to anyone who needs them.
The collective grounds its work in veganarchism – a political framework that views animal liberation and human liberation as interconnected struggles against hierarchical systems. Members engage with questions of speciesism, intersectionality, and biocentrism while organizing against capitalism and state power. Their approach connects local food access with broader critiques of industrial agriculture, environmental destruction, and systems that harm both human and non-human animals.
Beyond the kitchen, Veganarchy participates in public discourse around Belgian agricultural policy, nitrogen regulations, and the dairy industry’s environmental impacts. The group also addresses housing rights, migration policy, and civic participation in Antwerp, understanding these issues as part of the same web of domination they work to dismantle. Their events include educational programming, punk shows, and community discussions that build connections between different liberation movements.
People can connect with Veganarchy through their website and community kitchen events, which welcome anyone seeking affordable meals or interested in learning about radical approaches to food, ecology, and social change. The collective operates horizontally without hierarchical leadership structures, creating space for community members to participate in organizing work and mutual aid efforts based on their capacity and interests.
