Campaigns and Activities

Book Club

CAA's book club is an opportunity for those interested in the lives of non-human animals to connect, explore, and discuss issues presented in the current book selection.

Bridges of Respect

Bridges of Respect builds bridges between people, other species, and the environment.

Cable Access

In this modern media age, what better way to inform people of important issues, such as factory farming, than through television?

Dine-Outs

CAA regularly organizes dine-outs for animal-friendly folks in the community looking to connect and enjoy great food.

Documentaries and Movies

Documentaries and movies present unique insights for viewers of the animals' plight in a way that words and photographs perhaps cannot.

Food Giveaways

Food giveaways are a mainstay of CAA's vegetarian outreach efforts.

High School and College Outreach

Our outreach is conducted to reach as many people as we can in order to find those who may be most receptive to hearing our message. Our experience shows that younger people are more likely to change their consumption habits than the greater public. Therefore, a large part of our outreach and education efforts are focused on high school- and college-age students.

Literature Stands and Distribution

One of the most effective ways to promote vegetarianism is to provide people with information about where their food comes from.

No Battery Eggs

CAA's No Battery Eggs campaign seeks to address the animal cruelty issues associated with battery-cage egg production.

Restaurant Outreach

In just the last decade demand for vegetarian and vegan dining has skyrocketed.

Potlucks

Potlucks are a great community-building tool. It gives individuals a chance not only to have their fill of great vegan foods prepared and served by fellow vegetarians and vegans, but to also try their hand at crafting a great dish themselves.

Speakers and Presentations

Inviting speakers to come and share their knowledge with us is a good way to further educate ourselves as well as to reach out to the general public.

Tabling, Leafleting, and Postering

It is not uncommon to pass out hundreds of leaflets in just one hour depending on the location--encouraging many people to reevaluate their eating habits. Simple calculations show that with the average American consuming about 35 birds and mammals each year (not to mention dozens of aquatic animals), a move to a vegetarian or vegan diet can save hundreds or even thousands of animals over just one person's lifetime! This represents a serious victory.

Veg Cooking Classes

Hosting vegetarian and vegan cooking classes teach valuable skills for the preparation of delicious animal-friendly meals.

Vegan After Dark

Is there a way to be compassionate and classy all at the same time? Join us for Vegan After Dark and enjoy the company of others in a range of different milieus.

Writer's Group

The Writer's Group develops persuasive and evaluative commentary with the hope of reaching out to the public and other organizations on issues relevant to our mission.
