About the speakers
Lammert van Raan is a former Member of Parliament for the Party for the Animals, where he introduced the Climate Law 1.5 and a law for the Criminalisation of Ecocide. Together with Femke Wijdekop he co-edited the book Hope in Times of Ecocide. In this bundle of essays, Indigenous, religious, and spiritual traditions and their relationship with nature are presented. Drawing on these diverse and colourful perspectives, the book offers a hopeful vision for restoring our connection with Mother Earth and all its inhabitants through compassion and sustainability. Currently Lammert is a campaigner for Ecocide Law.
Alexandra, also known as Die Radikale Veganerin, is RADICAL! LOUD! VEGAN! This Berlin-based activist uses confrontation as a deliberate tool – bringing the reality of animal exploitation directly into public space, unapologetically and hard to ignore. She founded NEON Protest, an extension of her brand FAIR! LOUD! VEGAN!, where techno music, visceral imagery, and abolitionist messaging collide. Her actions are designed not only to disrupt, but to create space for vegans to process emotions and turn them into effective action. Those emotions are central to Alexandra’s work. “I get furious when I see what is done to animals at the hands of humans,” she says. Rather than suppressing that anger, she treats it as fuel.
