Hi everyone!

Violet Studios is a new organization dedicated to design capacity building for our movement. We provide a variety of graphic design services to support organizations and activists working for animals – at no cost.

We are dedicated to uplifting animal advocates through design. We recognize the importance of being understood, having a strong voice, and influencing perceptions to garner support and trust in the movement and beyond.

Often, visual design can fall to the bottom of an organization’s priority list. This is where we come in – we help lay a strong design foundation so that you can focus on your mission.

Why should changemakers care about design?

Visual design is more than just “pretty” – it majorly influences the way people perceive your messaging, both inside and outside of the animal advocacy space. It is also a strong tool you can use to amplify your work and break into new spaces, forge new connections, or even unify your own team. The same way silence can speak volumes, there's no opting out of design. Low-quality design shouts just as loudly as good design — however, the message it’s conveying might not be the one you wanted or intended.

Hi Kate, does this have a deadline for applicaiton? Since this is a remote position, we could share it in our newsletter that has a Southeast Asia audience. However, the newsletter is likely to go out only in the 3rd week of the month.

Hi, Divya! There is no deadline currently – please do share with your audience in Southeast Asia, I would appreciate it very much!

Humánny pokrok has launched its new flagship campaign called STOP rýchlokurčatám (“STOP the fast chickens”) focusing on broiler chickens in Slovakia. The goal was to establish chicken welfare as a relevant public issue in Slovakia, secure a mandate for action from the public, and prepare the grounds for future corporate outreach efforts and pressure campaigns. We’ve launched with publishing the first investigation footage from broiler chicken farms in Slovakia, which was presented in the news segment and investigation programme of the biggest TV station in the country, reaching over half a million viewers, and an additional 1.2 million later on social media. This was followed by a campaign including an agency produced video with a local celebrity that has reached over 2 million people (over one third of the population). On top of that, we’ve published two new reports: one covering the welfare issues of fast growing breeds of broiler chickens, the market data, opinion polls, and ECC commitments and requirements, and one covering the financial aspects of transitioning to ECC compliant production in Slovakia. The reports reached an additional 1 million people through media mentions. We’ve already met with a couple of retailers and are working on additional meetings as we speak. But so far, despite some early signs of possible progress, they are trying to deflect media inquiries and public statements. The Poultry union is, surprisingly, pointing to imported chickens as the main issue, essentially throwing the ball at the retailers as well. However, the investigated farmers are ramping up their legal threats to levels not seen before, probably encouraged by the political situation in the country and decline of the rule of law.  Three weeks after the launch, the campaign collected over 30,000 petition signatures (slightly more than 0.5% of population) calling for the end of fast growing chickens, which is slightly less than we were aiming for, but should be sufficient
