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.

Note: ARC Activists’ Circle is separate from our in-person Volunteer Meeting, which takes place on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 PM.

Join volunteers at William Berry Woods to pull Creeping Bellflower (Campanula rapunculoides), a lovely flower but invasive species that is invading this woods, especially in the southwest quadrant along Richfield Road, the edge of the turf area and the sidewalk. The plant's tubers spread and crowd out the native plant community that volunteers work hard to preserve and protect in these woods. Until a permanent solution can be implemented, we work to remove flowers before they go to seed.

Berry Woods is the small woodland between Bde Maka Ska and Lake Harriet, on the northern edge of William Berry Park. Bring your own gloves and drinking water.

Meet at the southwest corner of the woods, near the intersection of Richfield Road and W 40th Street. Street parking is available for free.

Join ARC for our monthly volunteer meeting (normally held on the third Wednesday of each month) to prep donated fur coats for shipment across the US to comfort rescued wildlife! Depending on the weather, we will be gathering outside in the back of Ethique Nouveau (317 W. 48th Street Minneapolis, MN).

During this session, we will be removing all buttons, zippers, straps, etc., so feel free to bring a pair of sharp scissors or seam ripper of your own if you'd like, although we have several for people to use. Some people like to bring a lint roller for getting fur off their clothes at the end, but please wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty. Vegan pizza and beverages will be provided after prepping from a local pizza shop!

We only have room for 15 people! Please sign up on POINT to reserve your spot!

THE LAST PIG is an intimate journey into the life of a pig farmer as he grapples with death, searches for compassion, and finally finds the courage to change.

​

For over a decade, Bob Comis has provided a humane - even idyllic - life for the pigs he farms. But as he tends to his charges, he develops a closeness that begins to haunt him, and his weekly trips to the slaughterhouse become unbearable. With 250 pigs on the farm, Comis suddenly finds himself trapped by his past and facing a precarious future.

Through his personal journey, THE LAST PIG raises crucial questions about equality, the sanctity of life, and the value of compassion. Comis' soul-baring narrative carries us through his final year of farming pigs, the struggle to reinvent his life, and the ghosts that will haunt him forever.

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 snack to share!

Join dineout host Jessica at Jasmine 26, which is a family owned restaurant and bar located on 26th and Nicollet Ave. Minneapolis, MN. The menu consists of Vietnamese and Thai dishes with plenty of Vegan friendly options. We absolutely recommend the salt and pepper tofu, the coconut cream cheeze wontons, and the house made ginger ale!

Check out their menu here: https://www.jasmine26hotpot.com/store/20514

Everyone is welcome, and if you order food, please make sure it is 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.

If you are willing to pitch in a couple of dollars to help cover the costs of running the Meetup, we would greatly appreciate it. Donations, however, are not required.
