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!

Volunteer Outreach Training Workshop
Ethique Nouveau, 317 W. 48th St., Minneapolis, MN, US𝗟𝗘𝗧 𝗨𝗦 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗬𝗢𝗨'𝗥𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚: https://dash.pointapp.org/events/594807
Join us for our Annual Volunteer Training on Sunday, April 19th, from 2:00-4:00 pm!
Whether you're brand new to ARC or a longtime volunteer, we invite you to join us for an engaging evening where you'll get an in-depth look at how we present ourselves at community events, how we converse with those who approach our table, how to answer the tough questions and remain calm, and more!
This is a great way to learn how ARC operates and strategies for how to be a more effective advocate. While attending a training workshop isn’t required before volunteering, we highly recommend it — especially if you want to confidently table at events with ARC.
✨ Food and beverages will be provided! Feel free to bring a vegan dish to share if you're able.
Everyone is welcome — you don’t need to be vegan or vegetarian to attend. Just bring your curiosity, compassion, and willingness to learn!
