Foie gras is produced by force-feeding ducks or geese far more food than they would ever eat naturally. A tube is repeatedly forced down their throats, causing severe suffering, including swollen livers, difficulty walking, and internal injuries. By the time the birds are slaughtered, their livers can be up to ten times their normal size, a condition known as hepatic steatosis. This practice is cruel, yet foie gras is still served in Minneapolis.

We are organizing peaceful protests at locations that serve foie gras and invite others to join us in standing for animal justice.

Protest dates:
Thursday, Jan 1 – 8:00 PM
Thursday, Jan 8 – 8:00 PM
Sunday, Jan 18 – 11:00 AM
Thursday, Jan 22 – 8:00 PM

Join Jordan, one of the Animal Rights Coalition Dine Out hosts, for lunch at J Selby’s! This is a great opportunity to meet like-minded folks and have a delicious meal while supporting restaurants with great vegan options.

Everyone is welcome! You do not need to be vegan to attend, but all items ordered need to be vegan.

Parking: Street parking is available

RSVP AGREEMENT:
Please make sure to keep your RSVP up to date and arrive on time. These dine outs often fill up fast with people added to the wait list. Please be fair to them so that they have a chance to see if they are able to attend. This is also important so that we can give restaurants an accurate number as they are often busy and holding spots for us which could have gone to other customers.
I will send a reminder to everyone 3 days before the dine out. Canceling within 24 hours of the dine out time or not showing up will both count as a strike (unless you were on the wait list and were added because someone dropped out within 24 hours). If you get 3 strikes in a year you won't be able to attend future dine outs.

Everyone is welcome! You do not need to be vegan to attend, but everything ordered will be vegan since this is a vegan restaurant.

Thank you to inspiration from a recent webinar hosted by Bideawee's Feral Cat Initiative, we're planning a cat shelter build! Our goal is to do this using donated and borrowed items. Next year we'll be sure to get ahead of the Winter weather, but we're looking at this as better late than never! Everyone is welcome, even if you don't have experience in building cat shelters - we will watch some videos together, walk everyone through the steps, and learn together.

We have secured styrofoam coolers but we're still looking for:
- 2'x8' sheets of rigid foam insulation, 2" thick
- mylar bubble wrap
- duct tape
- tubes of all-weather exterior adhesive caulk
- caulk guns
- peel & stick vinyl floor tiles
- hacksaws, box cutters, T-square
- long, thin nails, upholstery pins, or construction screws, about 3" long
- bricks (for weight)
- straw - long/natural, not craft straw

If you have time, we'd love if you could ask folks you know who may have these items laying around or scope out free neighborhood groups, or Facebook marketplace. Items can be brought to the Ethique Nouveau on or before January 21st. If you're unable to transport, please send us a message and we will try to arrange a pick-up. Thank you!

* Note: If you're sensitive to the sound of styrofoam being cut, we recommend ear plugs and we will have music playing as well!
