North American Animal Liberation Press Office logo

Animal Liberation Press Offices relay anonymous communiques, photos, and videos to the media about direct action undertaken by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), Animal Rights Militia (ARM), Revolutionary Cells – Animal Liberation Brigade, Justice Department, and other leaderless resistance within the animal liberation movement.[1][2][3] It states that it will "explain and seek to justify any action, whatever it may be", so long as it appears to have been carried out "with the sincere intention of furthering animal liberation."[1] The North American press office also includes a newsletter, prisoner list and merchandise page.[4][5]

The press office's position is that it receives claims of responsibility from anonymous cells, and that its officers "do not engage in illegal activities, nor do they know any individuals who do."[6] In contrast, a British High Court judge described press officer Robin Webb as a "central and pivotal figure" in the ALF.[7]
