​Meeting by James II statue Trafalgar Sq, London WC2N 5DS (Open in Google Maps).

No experience needed: if you can pass someone a leaflet or hold a sign, you can do this, and we'll show you the rest when you arrive.

Come for an 30 minutes or stay for the whole thing. It's a peaceful and friendly protest — some of us hold images, some hand out leaflets, and some have calm conversations with passers-by.

You're never obliged to do the talking, and if you do and a question comes up that you're not sure how to answer, you can simply point the person to the organiser or wave them over.

At the end, we'll debrief so everyone can share how it went for them. We can head to a local restaurant for some plant-based food and a bit of a social if people would like to debrief there :)

Michelle from Animal Rising is spending three weeks in a farrowing crate outside the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square for their Free Luna campaign — I'll be outreaching for that before our event starts. Let me know if you'd like to join me! (https://act.animalrising.org/free_luna_pet)

Please RSVP if you're coming so we can let you know if locations/plans change.

If you have any questions, just tap the "Contact the Host" button to ask.

​​Why are we asking people to take a break from Pret?

​Pret made a public promise to stop using frankenchickens. Their 2026 deadline is here, and 100% of the chicken in their food is still frankenchicken. Frankenchickens are the industry's fastest-growing breeds of chicken, bred to pile on weight so fast that many can barely walk by five or six weeks old, their hearts and legs giving out under their own size. Pret committed to phase them out eight years ago but are sitting on their hands. So we're outside Pret, telling their customers what Pret won't.
