Open Streets Cedar-Riverside TV Outreach
Details
Join us to help educate the public for a TV outreach event at Open Streets Cedar Riverside! With the State Fair beginning on Thursday, August 24th, we want to take this opportunity to talk to the community about the harmful consequences of cow's milk. We'll provide TV screens, signs, literature and a designated speaker(s). You're invited to hold the signs or screens while ARC representatives help onlookers process the footage that highlights what happens to dairy cows when they're exploited for human use.
Attendees at previous events have reported appreciating the meaningful conversations and literature about animal rights and plant-based eating.
Let us know you're coming by filling out the volunteer form: [https://forms.gle/97z7vrHNcdqqiR2n8](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2F97z7vrHNcdqqiR2n8%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1Cmrr6sk-m2_zpd6hAfTYE4Vn1SXTbHKPOZC4GPQMTSyUbkh_DjlY-W34&h=AT2f6cGbfbxUFdsiPOT9yA3K9oZ23b3HaWLQsQd529Rzncf91ooIXamvWxPfjYIfM4wYTT6WggTdoYUQ3p0MVv9BddIAp55T5Lq7cFPErbOOVOS8UhagPrKbU6E45AyoMbi5_Eo&tn=q&c%5B0%5D=AT1hIGjVmHMvYPYJHMocx2ENwjGeRxLCx9fs5gm01dWk3V5ev7Tn91JAneE52zIVSLl4WqMdHkiwojRohIR-Q1KjysTgjPRmkTFfumffd68i8dgzfPZ-EO15TofhsUVRg7Qq4aGUcLLabrh-xfIi-osNwD2m)

The MN State Fair claims to bring transparency to animal agricultural practices but instead it presents a highly sanitized version of the lives of farmed animals. Most of the farmed animals you see on display at the MN State Fair are living out the last days of their lives in crowded, stressful environments.
This year, we're asking that the MN State Fair move with the future of farming, choose to promote plant-based agriculture, and end the promotion of the unsustainable and unethical practices of farming animals.
Dairy cows are of special interest to our goal of ending the suffering of animals at the fair for three reasons. First, there are numerous dairy-related events at the fair involving the harming of cows, including the Dairy and Moo Booth and the Miracle of Birth Center. Second, consuming dairy products harms human health. And third, the breeding and farming of cows is harming our planet.
