We know that you care about farmed animals as much as we do. And like us, you want to help end their suffering. Please join us in taking action for these animals.
As members of the board, we’ve witnessed CAA help thousands of people act on their compassion, change the way they eat, and speak up for farmed animals in 2017.
Did you know that 2018 will be our 20th anniversary? To fund an expansion of programs, we’ve launched an ambitious campaign: $24,000 by December 31. And we’re all chipping in to match your donation dollar for dollar!
Your generosity will help CAA pay for the following work in 2018:
- Strengthen partnerships with diverse communities
- Sustain the growth of Twin Cities Veg Fest as it moves to Harriet Island
- Start a new program to help cafeterias offer more plant-based options
- Expand college outreach and advocate training by starting a second student group
We’re counting on you to join us in this effort. Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar.
Double your impact and make a gift today!
Thank you for your support.
With the animals,
The CAA Board of Directors

“In my time volunteering with outreach, participating in the student group, and helping organize Twin Cities Veg Fest, I have seen firsthand just how effective CAA’s programs can be. Now that I’ve taken on being chair of the planning committee for next year’s festival, I’m excited to see how we can reach even more people with our message of compassion.” – Nathan Gaut
“As a board member and donor, I know that CAA works hard to make the most of every dollar. Over the past twenty years, CAA has continually improved programs and processes to effectively and efficiently advocate for farmed animals.” – Chris Homsey
“I’ve had a great time building CAA over the years. I’ll be retiring from the board in a few weeks, and I feel confident that the organization will continue to thrive as the co-founders move on to make room for others to move into leadership. Help me go out with a bang by giving today!” – Dave Rolsky

“What I love most about CAA is that it has the unique capacity to be incredibly effective for animals through leafleting, pay-per-view, and virtual reality programs, while at the same time building strong local communities to keep people engaged with advocacy for animals and plant-based eating.” – Abraham Rowe
“I’m grateful for the work of CAA in the schools. Through the Bridges of Respect humane education program, we’re reaching young people with information about alternatives to supporting factory farming. I would have loved to have an engaging speaker bring great resources and tasty samples to one of my high school classes.” – Jennifer Swick
“I’m always impressed with the impact CAA has through direct outreach. I’ve volunteered with both pay-per-view and our new virtual reality technology at several events. While initially attracted by the money or novelty, participants come away deeply impacted by what they saw and with a desire to explore how they might change to a more humane diet.” – Theresa Zingery
