My name is Bita and I am a volunteer with CAA. I have been vegan for nearly 8 years now, but wasn't involved with the vegan movement/animal rights community until I moved to Minneapolis and found CAA. (Thank you to the U of M's list of student organizations!) I went vegan after watching some videos like Meet Your Meat and reading about the issues of animal cruelty, by way of a class project. Being involved with CAA solidifies all the reasons I went vegan in the first place and I really enjoy reaching out to the community to promote vegetarianism/veganism and animal rights and spending time with others who feel the same way.
