Amy Leinen is the Campaign Manager for ARC. Amy went vegan in 2012, assisted by the ARC Vegan University Mentor Program and then became a vegan mentor and dine-out leader. She is very active within the vegan community at large and volunteers for several local sanctuaries, runs the Chicken Rescuers in Minnesota FB group and has her own six feathered friends at Chicken Butt Microsanctuary. In addition to the Chicken Butts, she shares her life with vegan spouse Steve Leinen and four felines. Amy said “ARCs foundation of animal rights and abolition creates activism opportunities for volunteers and makes them unique as a vegan group in Minnesota. It is vital to support people who want to advocate for the animals by providing opportunities to be a part of this social justice movement. I am grateful for the programs and campaigns that were there for me over the years, and am delighted to now have a chance to create and maintain these amazing resources.”
