ARC is excited to participate another year in the Mayday Parade!

2026 Theme: We'll have the ARC banner and a lively crew of inflatable animal costumes, plus volunteers sharing fun and educational facts on signs that connect to our campaigns. This year’s lineup includes a frog (dissection), fox (fur industry), pig (Animal Ag/State Fair), dog (Minnesotan's Exposing the Pet Trade), cow (Dairy Industry/State Fair), elephant (circus/Ren Fest), and rooster (Animal Ag/State Fair).

*You’re welcome to bring your own inflatable costume (typically $25–$60), but please check in with us first so we can coordinate animals and messaging—and make sure costumes are vegan appropriate (no “riding” styles).

If our group includes more than 20 participants, we may need a designated safety walker—so please RSVP on POINT to help us stay organized and safe.

Let’s keep it positive! This is a joyful, family-friendly event. We ask all participants to share our message in a kind and respectful way.

👕 Dress Code:
Please wear a black ARC shirt or Vegan Compassion shirt from Ethique Nouveau if you have one. Otherwise, a plain black shirt works great—we want to look cohesive as a group.

🕚 Meet-Up Time & Location:
Join us at 11:00 AM in Cedar Field Park (2500 Cedar Ave. Minneapolis, MN 55404) so we can organize and walk to the parade start together. The parade is scheduled to begin at noon, but may start moving earlier—so don’t be late! Full details will be sent to those who RSVP through POINT.

👣 Accessibility Note:
We’ll be moving along the parade route for over 12 blocks. If you're signing up, please ensure you’re able to walk or roll that distance comfortably. Your safety and comfort matter!

Join us for the free screening, vegan snacks, and a discussion afterwards.

Description:

As we discover that other animals are more like us than we thought possible, a growing movement is exposing the secretive global industries that use animals in bizarre and disturbing ways. Humans and Other Animals takes viewers on an epic journey, from witnessing firsthand how animals think, use language, and feel love… to dangerous investigations of powerful industries, using custom-built equipment and never-before-attempted tactics… to a profound philosophical idea that may forever change how we view other animals—and ourselves.

Join us for our monthly volunteer meeting and potluck to watch a rescheduled screening of the second half of "Five Decades – One Mission," a powerful six-part documentary series produced by FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement). The series features interviews with ten early leaders of the movement and explores the roots, growth, and lasting impact of animal rights activism in the United States.

The 3.5-hour documentary commemorates two pivotal events from 1975: the publication of Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation, which introduced the concept of animal rights to America, and the World Vegetarian Congress in Orono, Maine, which helped bring early activists together. Through interviews with Peter Singer, Freya Dinshah, Alex Hershaft, Victoria Moran, Jim Mason, and others, the series traces the movement’s origins, early campaigns, influential publications, and honors key pioneers whose work shaped the movement we’re part of today.

We’ll enjoy good company and tasty snacks while watching the second half of the series, followed by an in-depth discussion on the importance of these early actions made by animal heroes and how we got to where we are today. If you didn't make it to the February Volunteer Meeting to watch Part 1, you can still attend March's Meeting! Or you can purchase the series yourself and watch the first half here: https://fivedecades.org/?mc_cid=4022c0e2c9&mc_eid=8fadc2559d

Everyone is welcome—you don’t need to be vegan to attend ARC events.

Food and beverages will be provided, and we’d love it if you brought a vegan dish to share!
