Campaigns

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.

Cable Access

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

Documentaries and Movies

 

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

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

Media Response Team

The CAA Media Response Team encourages coverage of factory farming through positive praise, and writes letters to the editor and op-ed pieces.

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.

Social Events

Social gatherings such as potlucks, dine-outs, and game nights are crucial to building a sense of community among vegetarians and animal rights advocates on campus. This is important not only to remind people that there are others like them but also to show that vegetarians and vegans are a diverse group of people united by a common cause.

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.
