Join ARC for ARC Activists’ Circle, a brand-new monthly online gathering for our volunteer community!

On the first Monday of each month, we’ll hop on Zoom to connect with fellow advocates, share updates about upcoming campaigns and events, hear your ideas and opinions, and answer questions. It’s a relaxed space to stay in the loop, build community, and talk all things animal advocacy with other passionate activists.

ARC Activists’ Circle is designed for current volunteers and people interested in volunteering. If you have general questions about ARC outside of volunteering, please reach out to our office by phone or email during store hours.

To keep this space welcoming and productive for everyone, we ask that participants:
-Be respectful and allow others to finish speaking
-Avoid interrupting
-Use considerate language
-Treat everyone with fairness and kindness

This event is locked for security purposes. Please sign up on
POINT or email kelsey@animalrightscoalition.com to receive the Zoom passcode.

Join ARC for a crucial discussion on rescuing animals! With Spring baby season coming, it's common to find sick or injured animals on the side of the road, in your yard, or along your walking path.

Amy, ARC's Campaign Manager, founder of Chicken Butt Microsanctuary, and admin for two local animal rescue groups, will go through the necessary materials to keep in your car for emergencies, how to care for an animal in need, who to call for help, precautions to take, and more! This is a volunteer meeting you won't want to miss!

All are welcome! You don't need to be vegan or vegetarian to attend ARC events. Snacks and beverages will be provided but we would love for you to bring something vegan to share with the group if you're able to!

The Animal Activist Legal Defense Project is hosting an online Know Your Rights training on April 15, 2026, at 6:30 PM Central Time for the Animal Rights Coalition.

This training will provide you with a basic toolkit to effectively assert your constitutional rights while engaging in protests advocating for animals. Interacting with law enforcement can be an inevitable part of campaigning. While no training can avoid every negative interaction, effectively asserting your rights minimizes the risks of unwanted legal entanglements, both allowing you to be more confident as an activist and keeping your time and energy focused where it is needed: those who need our voices. Our trainings are based on general constitutional principles and are designed to provide an easy-to-remember and easy-to-use approach to best protecting your rights while advocating for change.

--

This training pertains to animal activists/activism, designed for activists, investigators, and whistleblowers who bring attention to the conditions in which animals are confined, caged, transported, abused, and killed.

Location: Ethique Nouveau, 317 W 48th Street, Mpls, MN 55419

Date: April 15, 2026

Time: 6:30pm CST

This will be an in-person workshop with a Zoom presenter. If you can’t attend in person, you’re welcome to request the Zoom link to participate remotely.

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!
