What motivates a person to move towards a more compassionate lifestyle? At Compassionate Action for Animals, we believe that everyone’s pathway is unique. How it looks and the time it takes differs from person to person.

Have you seen our series of blog posts inspired by the Throwback Thursday social media phenomenon? These posts, written by CAA volunteers and staff, reveal a spectrum of individual journeys to compassionate living.

Today, we’re sharing the “Throwback Thursday” story of longtime CAA volunteer and registered dietician Suzy Sorensen. You might also like to check out the previous posts by Justin Leaf, Matt Schroeder, and E.G. Nelson. If you have a story to tell (and throwback pictures to share!), contact us and let us know.

Speaking of Thursdays, we’ve got a big one coming up: Thanksgiving. In case you’re looking to celebrate the holiday in solidarity with the animal advocacy community, join us for our 12th annual Vegan Thanksgiving Potluck on Saturday, November 22 from 1:00 to 4:00pm at Matthews Recreation Center.

In case you haven’t heard, today, Thursday, November 13, is Give to the Max day in Minnesota. Please join in the giving across the state and make a tax-deductible donation to support our work. We want to continue to offer outreach activities and community events that bring us all closer to realizing a vision of justice for all.

Those big dreams start with everyday experiences for individuals like Laura Van Zandt, radio host of One Girl, Two Cities and CAA volunteer. Read more about how Laura has been Embracing Work Done by Compassionate Action for Animals. We thank Laura for the wonderful write-up and hope that her words inspire you to get involved with our work and answer the call of your own compassion.

For the animals,
