Anonymous for the Voiceless (AV) is a grassroots animal rights organization formed in April 2016, in Melbourne, Australia. The organization specializes in street activism and operates worldwide. Anonymous for the Voiceless coordinates 100,000 volunteers in 375 AV chapters in 61 countries, with teams of volunteers organizing and staging peaceful protest actions called 'Cubes of Truth'. These protests involve volunteers standing in a square formation wearing Guy Fawkes masks while holding screens showing footage of standard practice in the animal agriculture industry with the intention of creating awareness and promoting the public to shift to a vegan lifestyle.

It is not affiliated to the hacktivist group "Anonymous", despite the similarities of names and the use of the Guy Fawkes mask.
