Everyone could participate if they were not shop owners and if their creations were without animal products. It only took us a few days to create this event, and it was quite a success. We met many nice people, reunited with some friends and comrades, and made new contacts. It's the third event we've organized this month in Thessaloniki, and we'd like to continue. Unfortunately, we have to return to Belgium for a month, and then we'll stay at the shelter to start the serious work. If you live in Belgium, stay tuned because we'll have a nice event coming up! If you're in Italy, Switzerland, or France and want to organize a solidarity event with us on our way back to Belgium, feel free to contact us! It would be amazing! Thanks to everyone who attended our events, to the comrades who helped, and see you soon! ... See MoreSee Less

It's been almost a year since we decided to bring our solidarity events to Thessaloniki, and two months since we began organizing this particular one! Events focused on animal liberation are rare, which is why we believe it's crucial to extend them to other cities. Also, it’s a good opportunity for shelters to receive help, that’s why we always aim to include more groups. All the profit of the bazaar helped equally DoggyBagCrew and Ark_of_Hope_shelter and the proceeds from the distro will be directed to support the ex-political prisoner, Ladislav Kuc. During the bazaar, we had the opportunity to encounter wonderful individuals who generously offered their assistance, visited, or participated to show their support for the shelters! Thank you all for everything you did to make this event happen!Unfortunately, the event left us with mixed feelings. On Saturday night, a massive homo-transphobic attack occurred against 2 members of the LGBTQ+ community in the centre of Thessaloniki. On Sunday, thousands of individuals were scheduled to assemble at the same venue to protest against fascism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia.Although the event would still be open during the demo, we posted a call on the door to encourage more people to attend. However, one hour before the demo, a person from the political place hosting our bazaar, abruptly informed us that we needed to close within half an hour and told us to go outside to tell everyone to attend the demo. As "guests," we were not given a say in how or when to conclude the event. The authoritarian and rude behaviour was followed by more people and finally we were forced to close sooner, without even having the chance to announce it on time, so people wouldn't come until there for nothing. We apologize to all the participants who experienced similar treatment, even though their tables were located outside on the pedestrian area and not inside the building. While we appreciate the warm welcome extended by some individuals from the place, we feel it's essential not to gloss over the behaviours we faced. Maintaining honesty and transparency is fundamental to us, and we refuse to portray a false image of everything being okay on social media.As antispeciesists, we are dedicated to fighting against all forms of oppression. While our primary focus lies on advocating for non-human animals through our shelter, we recognize the interconnectedness of all struggles. Often, we feel that even within the movement, the importance of animal liberation is diminished. It's crucial that we unite all struggles because only through collective action can we hope to achieve meaningful change.Until total liberation! ... See MoreSee Less

We're continuing the tradition of our 'late updates post,' so one week after our Second Hand Bazaar and upon our arrival in Thessaloniki for the next one, here it is! It's the first time we've organized an event based on second-hand items, and we're really pleased with the results! All of the items came from your donations, and we couldn't be more thankful! Though it's been an exhausting week, driving across Athens to collect and organize everything, the effort was truly rewarding.The Vintage Piece for Peace team, along with our friends, arrived early, and together, we efficiently set up the bazaar in just a few hours! We had the pleasure of meeting new individuals interested in supporting the shelter, and we warmly welcomed @support_apaw www.instagram.com/support_apawtoday?igsh=aWI1YTI0bTFnNW5o, @thehouseoflittlemonsterswww.instagram.com/the_house_of_little_monsters?igsh=MTluM2gyZjFxemtqYw==, & @heartofstrays, www.instagram.com/heartofstrays?igsh=MTU0anV4YTNpYndyZQ== organizations dedicated to animal welfare. Additionally, Niko enjoyed a delightful belated birthday celebration with the best cake!Meanwhile, gates have been installed at the shelter, preventing hunters and shepherds from trespassing! Our return to the shelter permanently in May means we won't be organizing solidarity events for the next few months.As we were unable to accommodate volunteers during the winter due to limited facilities, our current focus lies on event organization.If you're in Thessaloniki on March 9th and 10th, don't miss our upcoming events to support the construction of our vegan shelter! We have the Flash Tattoo Day on March 9th at Sayagata Tattoo Studio and the Vegan Bazaar at the libertarian space "Sabot" on Garbola Street on March 9th and 10th!
