A message from Yellow (founder and lead organizer):
Hi lovely community 💜
I’m really sorry to share that the Conference for Animal Liberation Copenhagen won’t take place this year. This wasn’t an easy decision, but I simply don’t have the capacity to organize it right now. CALC has always been a grassroots project through and through, and something I started without really knowing what I was doing, and while that’s something I’m proud of, it also means the foundation still needs strengthening.
All I wanted was to create a space in the animal liberation movement where true community, our fellow animals, and collective liberation are front and center, and with your help, we’ve been building exactly that. I’m so grateful for all of you.
At the same time, organizing an event rooted in basic values (like opposing genocide) makes funding harder, and the truth is, I spend 4–5 months each year working full-time on this. I can’t afford to do that unpaid this year. I’m also feeling some burnout from community work, especially in Denmark, where there’s disappointingly significant pushback against a collective liberation approach.
So, I’m taking this year to build a more stable and sustainable foundation. My hope is that we’ll be back in 2027 with an even stronger event, maybe even in a new location.
Thank you so much for your understanding and support. We truly have the coolest community 💜
