Animal Rights Band – The Repressions

Plant Powered Disruptors present BITES, BEATS, AND ADVOCACY! Thursday July 30 at Urban Vegan Kitchen in New York City.

Want to help animals but don’t know where to begin (or what else you could do)? Plant Powered Disruptors got you covered!

Join us for an inspiring evening with volunteers and staff from leading animal rights and welfare organizations, who’ll walk you through the many ways you can get involved, from simple, everyday actions to more hands-on commitments.

Meet our guests:

Live music from vegan musicians The Repressions
Janani Venkaratamanan — A foodservice professional and grassroots activist who’s been volunteering with The Humane League and other organizations since 2022. Janani is passionate about corporate campaigns and legislative advocacy, and is on a mission to grow the animal rights volunteer base right here in NYC.
Diana The Vegan — Works with a local dog rescue organization and moonlights as a vegan comedian! Come for the animal advocacy, stay for the laughs.
Felicitas Oefelein — Will share her experience with cat fostering and the crucial practice of trap & release.
Mian Osumi with Voters For Animal Rights will share about building political power for animals. Come learn how the ballot box can be a powerful tool for animal protection!

And because no great evening is complete without great food, be sure to experience delicious plant-based dishes of Urban Vegan Kitchen hosting us.

Whether you have five minutes or five hours a week to give, there’s a path for you here. Come with your questions and your love for animals — leave with new friends, full stomachs, and a clear plan for how to help.

RADIO ILLUMINI

This new single is the first that has been entered in the “Rock”category, due to the heavier use of electric guitar. Just An Animal is a song with a message, but a message you can rock out to!

Sometimes the message can come through when you are jumping and up-tempo. See our new live performance of “Just An Animal” on YouTube today. Thanks for watching!

Folk-punk is a term that we hear often to describe the band, and we say that makes as much sense as all of the the genres we jump to. We’ll be playing with cool cats Sam Rasiotis and JW Farrell next week, who both bring the noise and passion, and so The Repressions will be dedicating this set to the faster, rambunctious songs. Jump with us!

Just one day away! This weekend long festival is going to be full of food and classes and art and music and ethical vendors and all to help animals! These are the songs The Repressions are excited to play:

Filmed live at Repressions Castle, this video is simple but very meaningful. The Repressions are honored to be performing this song during their set at Hudson Valley Vegfest Kingston Animalia concert this Saturday October 19 at BSP Kingston.

Thank you for watching!

The Repressions believe that all living beings deserve to be free, that’s why they are vegan, for the animals. Playing the Veggie Pride Parade NYC was a truly meaningful performance, with an amazing group of performers and speakers and truly a lot of fun!
