Hi, I'm Cecile and I'm fundraising for Tbilisi Animal Rights Activism, a group I started in 2022.

About us

We are a team of vegans dedicated to speaking up for non-human animals in the streets of Tbilisi, Georgia. Our demonstrations and outreach approach are inspired by Anonymous for the Voiceless's Cube of Truth: some activists hold laptops playing footage of animal exploitation, while others help bystanders understand the moral imperative to become vegan.

Our goal

At this point we would like to step up our activism, to hold more effective demonstrations, reach more people and generally increase our impact. We are also planning to diversify our activism, with regular protests outside the Georgian Parliament as part of a campaign against animal testing.

So far we've been using our personal laptops to play the animal exploitation video, but unfortunately the screens are pretty small, the brightness is often insufficient for the footage to be visible in daylight, and having to hold the computers means that, at any given time, some of the activists are not available to talk with bystanders.

A good solution would be for us to get a TV and battery. With the TV on a stand or small table, each activist would be free to approach bystanders, and the footage would be visible from a greater distance, so we would be able to reach a lot more people.

Challenges

Being in Georgia, we are facing some obstacles. Platforms like Amazon are not available here, and the local stores offer rather limited choices (for instance, I haven't been able to find any 12V "motorhome" TVs like the one I was using for similar activism in France). We could get the equipment shipped from abroad, but then we would have to pay an extra 20% in taxes, which I'd rather avoid.

Our fundraising options are also limited, since none of the major fundraising platforms are available here (that's why I've had to select France as our location when creating this page).

How we will use your donation

I've started to have a look at the TVs and batteries available, and the budget would be approximately GEL 700 / EUR 250 for a 32' TV, and about the same for an EcoFlow power station.

Of course if we can find a good second-hand TV that would be ideal.

Any extra money would help us get a TV stand or table and print some outreach cards (with the link/QR code to all our resources about veganism) as well as some signs/banners for the protests.
