Huge thanks to all of our volunteers who helped out this past weekend at the Twin Cities Pride Festival. Our pay-per-view outreach was the most successful it’s been with more than 775 views. That’s up from 540 last year! In sharing the knowledge of what happens to animals on factory farms, you’re planting seeds of compassion that will sprout and continue to grow in the years to come. Thank you for that.

Speaking of growing things, we need your help laying the groundwork for this year’s Twin Cities Veg Fest, which takes October 29 and 30 at Coffman Memorial Union. Join us on Tuesday, July 12 at the Sponsor Recruitment Day and help us recruit the vital sponsors needed to support this festival’s expansion. This volunteer opportunity is not listed on our website, so please look for the details below and email Shelby if you have any questions.

Also, we hope that you and your friends are planning to join us at Summer Soirée: A Benefit for Twin Cities Veg Fest on Wednesday, July 27 at Reverie Cafe + Bar. If you can’t make it to the event, please help us get the word out. You’ll find links for sharing below.

Best wishes,

Justin Leaf, Communications & Events Coordinator
