Al-Nahda (Rise), is a political party which saw the light amidst the 2021 Lebanese crisis, one of the biggest socio political, and humanitarian crises the country has seen. However, in the midst of chaos and turbulence, the founders saw an opportunity for positive change regardless of the people’s despair.

Our political party was born from the need to protect the earthlings that are most vulnerable and marginalized in our society which include both humans and animals through ensuring justice, compassion, and sustainability, our key principles which have laid down the foundations of our vision and work.

As for our end goal, it is a world free of suffering and full of peace, keeping in mind that justice for all is the only solid foundation for peace. Never in history has violence led to prosperity, on the contrary, violence leads to further violence, while peace leads to peace.

Justice

Sustainability

Compassion

Veganism is a surprisingly great force of positive change.

What sets us apart from other Lebanese political parties and what gives us an advantage over the rest of other organizations, and the reason why we will succeed where others have failed are the following reasons:

Our Logo

A Symbol of Unity, Justice, and Resilience

Our logo is a testament to our commitment to unity, justice, and the resilience of the human spirit. A rising phoenix, a revered figure in Lebanese culture, emerges with grace and strength. Holding the balance of justice at its waist, it symbolizes our unwavering dedication to fairness and equality. Just as the Phoenicians, our ancestral predecessors, embraced the phoenix as a symbol of renewal, so do we embody the spirit of transformation and progress.

“AlNahda,” meaning “the rise” in our mother tongue, Arabic, carries profound significance. Each Arabic letter represents the initial of a word, forming the powerful phrase: “Vegans Rise Against Discrimination.” This embodiment of our principles resonates deeply with our mission to unite humanity, animals, and the environment in a harmonious movement for change. The name is a call to action, inviting all to rise against injustice and work together to forge a better future.

Together, our logo and name encapsulate our values, our history, and our vision for a flourishing Lebanon. Join us in this journey of transformation, where the phoenix of unity and justice rises above all challenges, lighting the way towards a brighter tomorrow.
