Campaigns and Activities

Compassionate Living 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.

Dine-Outs

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

Film Showings

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.

Informational Tables

Tabling can be fun and it's a great way of reaching out to the public on animal issues and vegetarianism. It's also one of the best ways to attract new volunteers and supporters.

Leafleting

Distributing leaflets about factory farming and vegetarianism is one of the most effective forms of animal activism in terms of time spent, resources used, and results.

Literature 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.

Veg Cooking Classes

CAA hosts monthly cooking classes showing that vegan cooking is just as easy, affordable, and delicious as cooking with animal products.

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.
