About us
Welcome to the MN Animal Rights/Vegan Meetup (previously named ‘Minneapolis Vegan Meetup’) sponsored by the Animal Rights Coalition (ARC)!
ARC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works to end the suffering, abuse, and exploitation of non-human animals through information, education, and advocacy. This group was created to bring together the Minneapolis plant-based community and the animal rights community. We engage in both advocacy and social events to educate others about animal rights and veganism. Join us to advocate for animals at a peaceful protest, community outreach, leafleting, or Cuddle Coats Prep Session. Stop by our monthly volunteer meeting & potluck, dine outs, pop-ups or movie screenings to meet other vegans and like-minded people. All are welcome to attend ARC events! You do not need to be vegan or vegetarian or have previous experience advocating for animals. We hope to see you at an event soon!

Augsburg Pay-Per-View Outreach - Volunteer Opportunity
Augsburg University, Hagfors Center, 700 21st Ave. South, Minneapolis, mn, USSIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER: https://dash.pointapp.org/events/599215
Join the Animal Rights Coalition at Augsburg University to engage students in meaningful conversations about animal rights and the benefits of adopting a vegan lifestyle!
We'll be tabling in the Christensen Center with pay-per-view virtual reality headsets that give students a first-hand look into the harsh realities of factory farming. Participants can watch from the perspective of a chicken, pig, or cow to see how animals raised for food endure suffering before ending up in grocery store packages. For each student who watches, we’ll offer $3 and have a follow-up conversation to discuss what they’ve seen.
Volunteers are needed to, distribute informative literature, set up and assist with the VR headsets, and talk with students about animal rights, veganism, and their own experience.
SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER: https://dash.pointapp.org/events/599215
