Who is Dyrenes Alliance?

Youth for a just world for animals

Youth for a just world for animals - since 2008

Dyrenes Alliance er en ungdomsforening, der blev stiftet i 2008 af en gruppe unge, som ville gøre en forskel for dyrene. Dengang delte vi tusindvis af foldere ud på gaderne. Det gør vi stadig, men nu kan vi stolt anerkende hvor meget Dyrenes Alliance er vokset. Vores forening har udviklet sig til en større, demokratisk forening med 16 lokalforeninger over hele landet, der udfører fed og lovlig aktivisme og fører effektive kampagner, der er målrettet konkrete resultater.

As a youth organization, we are passionate about working for a better world for animals and the environment, while engaging young people for a just world for animals. Our activities range from targeted demonstrations and leaflet distribution, taster sessions and social events to film screenings, workshops and debate nights. You can keep up to date with what's going on in your local organization under activities.

Effective activism for animals

Many of our activities are about introducing Danish citizens to a greener and more animal-friendly lifestyle and teaching them that plant-based food doesn't have to be boring: Conversely, there are actually so many benefits to a vegan lifestyle. But we also run several different campaigns where the results can be measured directly.

Effective activism on a national level

  • We hold around 400 activities a year.

  • We inspire around 12,000 people every year to eat plant-based through our Vegan Challenge campaign.

  • We collaborate with national and international organizations to make the most effective difference.

  • We work with media, politicians, celebrities and canteens to spread the vegan lifestyle and plant-based diet.

Over the past few years, we have, among other things, been involved in... 

  • Inspiring thousands to live vegan and animal-friendly - every meal counts.

  • Get over 200 businesses to join the fur-free list.

  • Ban dog and cat fur in Denmark.

  • Get elephants out of the circus.

  • Ban cosmetic testing on animals in the EU.

  • Ban the production and sale of fox fur in Denmark.

  • Ban the sale of non-Greenlandic seal fur in Denmark.

  • Get Café Vivaldi, Circle K, Halifax, LIDL, Scandic, 7-eleven, Aldi, Salling Group and REMA 1000 to drop turbo chicken.

  • Get Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Hilton, Best Western, Starbucks, Radisson Hotel Group and Marriott to ditch cage eggs.

Theory of Change: How to create change!

Vores arbejde i Dyrenes Alliance, er drevet af en klar vision: En verden, hvor alle dyr er frie. Men dette sker desværre ikke bare fra den ene dag til den anden. Derfor har vi udviklet dette visuelle værktøj, "Theory of Change", som giver et overblik over vores arbejde og hvordan vi skaber forandring.

Theory of Change eller forandringsteori - sådan skaber vi forandring i Dyrenes Alliance

An overview of our theory of change

Our Theory of Change is not only about the individual activities we perform, but also about how they form a coherent strategy to reach our ultimate goal: animal liberation. We've illustrated the different stages we move through: from where we are now to where we want to be.

Theory of Change connects our resources - our committed members and activists, our financial contributions and our research - with our activities such as everyday activism, policy advocacy and the Vegan Challenge. These activities lead to concrete results, such as greater awareness of animal rights and veganism, policy changes and a wider acceptance of veganism. But our Theory of Change doesn't stop at our outputs. It outlines the long-term impact we want to see in society: namely improved conditions for animals, reduction in animal suffering, and ultimately, total animal liberation.

Every signature we collect, every member we educate, every flyer we distribute and every person we inspire to take the Vegan Challenge and go vegan is part of this bigger plan. We know that every action counts, and together these actions create waves of change that gradually build a more compassionate and just society.

What does our theory of change mean to you?

Dette visuelle overblik er ikke kun en god rettesnor for vores arbejde i Dyrenes Alliance. Det er også en forklaring til dig. Vi ønsker at være transparente om, hvordan vi arbejder, og hvorfor vi gør, hvad vi gør. Og hvordan vi altid arbejder for dyrenes rettigheder og frigørelse.

When you support our organization, you're not just part of a single campaign or a single action. You are part of this bigger plan, a plan that aims for total animal liberation. You are helping to create waves of change that will gradually shape a society where all animals are treated with dignity and respect. We believe in the power of our community and we are deeply grateful for your support. Together we can make the world a better place for all animals.

Note: We recognize that the world around us is constantly changing, and our unification and Theory of Change reflect this. Therefore, our Theory of Change will be continuously updated and developed. If you are unsure about anything, feel free to contact us!

You can make a difference

Vores arbejde er fuldstændigt afhængigt af vores medlemmer. Der ville ikke være noget aktivisme uden frivillige, og der ville ikke være nogen forening uden økonomisk støtte. Derfor er vi dybt taknemmelige for alle, der støtter Dyrenes Alliance og vores arbejde for en bedre verden for dyrene og klimaet. Hvis du endnu ikke er medlem, kan du blive det her eller blive en superstøtter og donere penge til vores fælles formål.

Nationwide activism for animals

Siden 2008 har Dyrenes Alliance udviklet sig til at dække flere forskellige lokale områder i Danmark. Hver lokalforening har en aktiv Facebookside, hvor du kan følge med i hvad der sker. Du kan altid skrive til foreningen hvis du har spørgsmål specifikt til koordinatorerne i dit område, eller du kan tilmelde dig din lokale SMS-liste. Se oversigten over lokalforeninger under lokalforeninger.
