This is a volunteer meeting you won't want to miss!

April Meeting: Know Your Rights - Animal Rights Activists
April Meeting: Know Your Rights - Animal Rights Activists
April 15, 2026 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
317 W 48th St, Minneapolis, MN, United States, Minnesota 55419
π¦πππ‘ π¨π£ π§π’ π©π’ππ¨π‘π§πππ₯: https://dash.pointapp.org/events/564936
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 canβt attend in person, youβre welcome to request the Zoom link to participate remotely.

Dine Out at Dreamstate Cafe
Dine Out at Dreamstate Cafe
April 26, 2026 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Dreamstate Cafe
Join Jordan, one of the Animal Rights Coalition Dine Out hosts, for lunch at Dreamstate Cafe! 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.
Please RSVP on Meetup to reserve your spot: https://www.meetup.com/vegan-415/events/313779079/?eventOrigin=group_events_list

Augsburg University
π¦πππ‘ π¨π£ π§π’ π©π’ππ¨π‘π§πππ₯: https://dash.pointapp.org/events/599215
Join the Animal Rights Coalition at Augsburg University to engage students in meaningful conversations about animal rights and the benefits of adopting a vegan lifestyle!
We'll be tabling in the Christensen Center with pay-per-view virtual reality headsets that give students a first-hand look into the harsh realities of factory farming. Participants can watch from the perspective of a chicken, pig, or cow to see how animals raised for food endure suffering before ending up in grocery store packages. For each student who watches, weβll offer $2 and have a follow-up conversation to discuss what theyβve seen.
Volunteers are needed to distribute informative literature, set up and assist with the VR headsets, and talk with students about animal rights, veganism, and their own experience.
