Be Abolitionist Vegan
Co-organiser & Cyclist
(yes, that is his real name – he made it that by deed poll so that everyone who sees or hears his name would get the message and as a conversation starter) is an animal rights activist who lives in Worthing. He first got into activism in 2021 when he attended a local Anonymous For The Voiceless Cube of Truth in Horsham; these are very effective street events where standard practice footage of the meat, dairy and egg industries is shown and bystanders who stop and show interest in it are spoken to about it by volunteers, with the aim of bringing them to a vegan conclusion. He has remained committed to AV and is now involved with organising Cubes of Truth in various locations, as well as helping to organise larger national and international events. He also takes part in several other forms of activism, including supermarket disruptions. He will not stop until everyone is vegan.

Marcus Emmerson
Co-organiser & Cyclist
Marcus started his career as a self employed wildlife photographer just over a year ago and has been building his portfolio since, although his time has been spent involved with many other projects too, from converting a farmhouse into a vegan backpacker’s hostel in the Scottish Highlands to investigating and documenting salmon farms, and recently joining the ‘End Salmon Farming’ Tour as a photographer and videographer, driver and activist creating viral content and protesting across the UK. He's managed to spend the past year volunteering and doing animal rights activism when he's not out in the field with a camera. It's important to him to focus on creating positive social change and to be an effective voice for the animals. He will be working on a short documentary about the 'End Salmon Farming' Tour and has already decided to make one about Vegans Take on LEJOG.
