Have you ever wondered why vegans don't eat eggs?

Join Amy, ARC Campaign Manager, and founder of Chicken Butt Microsanctuary, in discussing why their household doesn't eat eggs even from the beloved hens they rescue.

This workshop will cover some terms used by the egg industry, standard practices in various farming and backyard chicken/egg scenarios, the health issues chickens face associated with egg laying, alternatives to using eggs, and the ethical considerations of using another species as a food source.

Vegan eggless snacks and recipes will be available to attendees.

All are welcome! We encourage you to attend whether you are vegan, vegetarian, or just curious about the topic.

The $5 fee will be refunded when/if you attend, at the end of the workshop. If you are a no-show, the $5 will be a donation to the Animal Rights Coalition.

Join us for our monthly volunteer meeting to clean up trash in our community! Not only do garbage clean-ups better our community, but a clean environment spares animals (both wild and companion) from choking on bits of trash or suffocating on bags with food remnants in them. We need your help!

We’ll provide gloves and bags, but feel free to bring your own to eliminate waste. We'll also have chalk to spread the vegan message through chalktivism on nearby sidewalks.

Location: Harrison Park, 503 Irving Ave N. Minneapolis, MN 55405

We'll meet at the park on Olson Highway Service Road between Harrison Park and Olson Memorial Highway. You can park along the service road or Knox Ave N.
