We're joining Puppy Mill Free Minnesota for a peaceful protest against Four Paws and a Tail, on public property near Northtown Mall, 398 Northtown Drive NE, Blaine, Minnesota from 1:00 to 2:00 pm. Meet us at the intersection of County Road 10 and Jefferson, on the grassy area in front of Chipotle. Signs are provided but you're also welcome to bring your own. We oppose Four Paws and a Tail's business model of buying companion animals from breeding facilities and selling them to the public. Note this is an ongoing event, ARC will post events for the protests we're able to be present at, but there are typically activists at the site every Sunday from 1:00-2:00 pm!

How to Handle the Holidays
at 6:00 pm

2019-11-06 18:00:00

The holidays can be some of the toughest times for vegans when balancing relationships with family and friends and your beliefs. This discussion will address issues like attending non-vegan holiday events, entertaining family members, whether to boycott holidays altogether, and more. This is an opportunity for us to share our experiences and give advice to one another in this often challenging time. This event can also be helpful for those who may not be vegan, but who have vegan family members and would like to understand how they can be supportive! Vegan snacks will be provided, but feel free to bring something to contribute. Event is at Animal Rights Coalition office (co-located with Ethique Nouveau, our vegan boutique) at 317 W 48th St. in Minneapolis from 6:00-7:30 PM.

Being an effective animal advocate requires putting into practice a set of tools that we can access once we are aware of them and know how to best use them. Location is Penn Lake Library, 8800 Penn Ave. S in Bloomington from 6:00-8:00 p.m. RSVP for this free event at the link below.
