Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA) encourages Minnesotans to embrace their empathy for farmed animals and move toward a plant-based diet. We do this through increasing awareness of the lives of farmed animals, building community through plant-based eating, nurturing advocates across the state, and supporting individuals and institutions to transition to plant-based eating.
Our small staff works with hundreds of volunteers, many in leadership positions, to maximize our effectiveness.
Together, with help from people like you, we’ve spared the lives of over 1 million farmed animals since 1998.
Mission
Compassionate Action for Animals encourages Minnesotans to cultivate empathy for animals and move toward a plant-based diet.
